Get real time social media data

Overview

The "Scrape Creators" node provides real-time social media data scraping capabilities across multiple platforms, including Pinterest. Specifically, the "Get Pinterest Pin" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about a specific Pinterest pin by providing its URL. This is useful for marketers, content creators, and analysts who want to extract metadata or engagement details from Pinterest pins without manual browsing.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically gathering pin details for content curation workflows.
  • Monitoring competitor pins or trending content on Pinterest.
  • Integrating Pinterest pin data into reports or dashboards.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing URL: Ensure the Pinterest pin URL is correctly formatted and accessible.
