Overview

The node "Scrape Creators" provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including Pinterest. Specifically, the "Get Pinterest Board Pins" operation allows users to retrieve pins from a specified Pinterest board URL. This is useful for gathering content insights, monitoring trends, or aggregating visual inspiration from Pinterest boards.

Practical examples include:

  • Marketing teams collecting pins from competitor boards to analyze popular content.
  • Content creators aggregating images and ideas from specific Pinterest boards for mood boards.
  • Data analysts extracting pin data for sentiment or trend analysis.

Properties

Name Meaning
URL The full URL of the Pinterest board from which to retrieve pins. Example: https://www.pinterest.com/florenceescup/animal/
Limit Maximum number of pins to return from the board. Typical values are numeric, e.g., 50.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the retrieved pins from the specified Pinterest board. Each item in the output typically represents a single pin with its associated metadata such as image URLs, descriptions, links, and other relevant pin details.

If the node supports binary data (e.g., images), it would provide the binary content of the pins' images, but this is not explicitly detailed in the provided code snippet.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for accessing the Scrape Creators API service.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to https://api.scrapecreators.com with appropriate headers including the API key.
  • No additional environment variables or configurations are indicated beyond providing the API key credential.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid URL: If the Pinterest board URL is malformed or inaccessible, the node may fail to retrieve pins. Ensure the URL is correct and publicly accessible.
  • API Key Issues: Missing or invalid API key will cause authentication errors. Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • Limit Exceeded: Requesting too many pins might result in partial data or rate limiting by the API. Adjust the "Limit" property accordingly.
  • Network Errors: Connectivity issues can prevent data retrieval. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.

Common error messages might include authentication failures, invalid parameter errors, or rate limit exceeded notices. Resolving these typically involves verifying credentials, input parameters, and respecting API usage limits.
