List the boards a Pinterest account owns, with description, cover image, Pin and section counts, followers, privacy setting and a collaborative flag. A collaborative board does not reveal all of its members or any private content.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Pinterest Boards endpoint (pinterest/boards).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to pinterest and action to boards, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - username: Specifies the Pinterest user handle for the profile, user_posts, and boards actions, with or without a leading @. Full profile web URLs are not accepted.
- Optional parameters:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 50. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, name, url, description, pin_count, section_count, follower_count, cover_image_url, is_collaborative, privacy, owner_username, owner_name; 13 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=pinterest.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "pinterest",
  "action": "boards",
  "params": {
    "username": "pinterest"
  }
}
- Price: $1.39 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
nameName of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities.
urlLink to the record on the platform.
descriptionSummary or description, usually shorter than text.
pin_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
section_countKeeps the platform's own meaning
follower_countFollowers. null means not disclosed, not 0.
cover_image_urlKeeps the platform's own meaning
is_collaborativeKeeps the platform's own meaning
privacyKeeps the platform's own meaning
owner_usernameKeeps the platform's own meaning
owner_nameKeeps the platform's own meaning
created_atCreation time, same format as posted_at.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).

Errors and billing

401
Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422
Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402
Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429
The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.
503
Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty
The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

Official references

  • Pinterest: Hierarchy of Boards and Board Sections ↗

    Pinterest uses board sections to organize Pins within a board. Therefore, `section_count` should not be treated as a board count; referencing section creation tutorials does not imply this endpoint can create, move, or edit content.
