FAQPage Schema
How do I download motion design videos from Pinterest for inspiration?▼

To download motion design videos from Pinterest, you can automate scraping MP4 files and saving metadata JSON. This process builds a local references directory containing videos and accompanying metadata for your design projects.

Can I specify the number of videos and search query when scraping Pinterest?▼

Yes, you can specify a custom search query and the number of MP4 videos to scrape from Pinterest. If unspecified, sensible defaults apply, retrieving 10 videos for a search like "motion design typography animation".

Does this Pinterest scraping approach save video metadata alongside the files?▼

Yes, the Pinterest scraping process saves metadata JSON files alongside each downloaded MP4 video. It uses an API-based approach first and falls back to Chromium via Playwright if needed to capture captions.

What is the best way to automate collecting Pinterest video references for a client pitch?▼

The best way to automate collecting Pinterest video references is using a scraping tool that retrieves a defined number of MP4s for a given search. This organizes assets locally in a references directory with metadata for easy access.

Do I need Playwright to scrape Pinterest videos if the API fails?▼

Yes, Playwright is required as a fallback to run a Chromium browser if the initial API-based scraping approach fails. This ensures you can still download videos and extract metadata JSON from Pinterest.
