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]>
