Show the text
Use the DataXAPI endpoint pinterest.pins.search (Pinterest pin search). Find Pinterest pins by search terms: title, description, picture, who pinned it and when, the page it points to. No counts, which the pin capability gives.
Call GET https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/pinterest/pins/search with the header "Authorization: Bearer $DATAXAPI_API_KEY". Read the key from the environment variable DATAXAPI_API_KEY; never write it into code.
Parameters:
- query (required): Search terms. Example: mid century living room.
- cursor: Cursor returned by the previous page. Pass page.next_cursor of the page before, unchanged. Each page is charged as a call of its own.
- view: How much of each item to return. All three cost the same. Values: compact, standard (default), full.
- fields: Return only these fields. Each by its path, such as author.name.
Price: $0.0020 per call. Errors and timeouts are not charged; an empty result is charged $0.0020.
The answer is JSON: data.items holds post; meta.billing.amount is what this call was charged.
Example:
curl -G "https://api.dataxapi.com/v1/pinterest/pins/search" \
  --data-urlencode "query=mid century living room" \
