Pinterest Image Scraper

Now you can take the URL to any Pinterest board (or a CSV of a bunch of boards) and return a Python list of the URLs to the hi-rez versions of all of the images on the board.

Requirements:

  • Python 3

  • Selenium (pip install selenium)

  • Chrome driver ( Download and place in the directory) or Firefox: brew install chromedriver

  • aria2c (a command line download utility)

    • Mac: brew install aria2
    • Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install aria2
    • Centos/Fedora: sudo yum install aria2

  • A Pinterest Account

How to Run:

  • mv ./config_sample.py ./config.py

  • Add your username / password to config.py

  • Then use:

    • ./scraper.py <search term | board url> <destination folder[optional]>

  • For example:

    • ./scraper.py "Persian cats" ./persian_cats
    • ./scraper.py https://pinterest.com/kuxbini/cute-pets/ ./persian_cats

Use in a script

import scraper as s
ph = s.PinterestHelper(PINTEREST_USERNAME, PINTEREST_PASSWORD)

# Returns an array of image urls
images = ph.runme("Persian Cats")

# Use a image board url instead
images = ph.runme("https://pinterest.com/kuxbini/cute-pets/")

Changes

  • Pinterest now uses /474x/ files instead of /236x/ . So changed it to 474x in the url search
  • Changed to Chrome driver
  • Moved to python 3
  • removed dependency on pandas, pickle
  • runs as a script with syntax ./scraper.py <search term | board url> <destination folder[optional]>
