Discover Search data on Pinterest from a user query and connect the results to search, catalog, or research interfaces.
Use “Pins by query” when an exact object ID is not known and relevant candidates must be found first.
Review the result and common workflows first, then move to parameters and a working request example.
The response includes matching Search, public context, and pagination data when more results are available.
Use “Pins by query” when an exact object ID is not known and relevant candidates must be found first.
Add Pinterest data search to customer-facing and internal interfaces.
Find candidates by query and save relevant objects for later enrichment.
Collect result sets for topic, creator, and competitive analysis.
Both versions solve the same job and accept the same parameters. Use the switch to compare the response structure and choose the version your client expects.
Switch versions on this page to compare response structures while keeping the same documentation URL.
Authentication, required parameters, and the request shape stay the same across V1 and V2. In practice, you choose the version when you build the endpoint path and when you parse the response.
The main difference is the response envelope. Use V2 for new integrations and keep V1 only when you need compatibility with an existing client contract.
Use the same API key header and the same query parameters for both versions. This documentation shows the shared parameter set first, then version-specific endpoint paths and code snippets.
| Parameter | Required | Type | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
query |
Yes | str |
home decor |
User-entered search query. |
cursor |
No | str | None |
cursor-next-page |
Next-page cursor returned by the previous response. Omit it for the first page. |
Choose a version when you copy the exact endpoint path, example URL, and code snippet. The parameter list above stays the same.

}Use this documentation as the first decision point, then move into pricing, platform coverage, and integration rules before you connect the endpoint for recurring use.
Use these answers to decide whether this API method fits your workflow, versioning choice, and rollout plan.
The method performs “Pins by query” for Search. The compact response example below shows the exact field structure.
Choose V2 for new integrations because it provides a normalized structure. Use V1 only for compatibility with clients that already consume the platform-native format.
Create an API key, send it in the request header, and provide the required parameters from the table. The code samples already contain the correct path and request structure.
