FAQ

How much does the Pinterest Profile Scraper cost?

From $2.00 per 1,000 profiles on Apify's higher plans ($3.00 on the free plan), plus a $0.005 start fee per run. Failed and empty results are never charged. You can cap what a single run may spend with the maximum cost setting on Apify.

Can I export the results to CSV or Excel?

Yes. Every run saves to an Apify dataset you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read through the API. The Python and Node clients in this repo also write the results to local files.

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Save your input as a task on Apify and attach a schedule, or call the API from your own cron job. Scheduled runs are billed the same way as manual ones.
