Use Explore via URL when you already know which Pinterest pins you want to inspect. Instead of starting from a keyword, you can paste one or more Pin URLs and ask Pinsearch to return pin details and metrics for those exact pins.

​
When to use URL mode

URL mode is useful when you want to research:
  • Your own pins
  • Competitor pins
  • Pins from a Pinterest board
  • Pins a client sent you
  • Inspiration pins you already collected
  • Pins you want to compare before creating new content

​
Analyze Pin URLs

1

Open Pin Explorer

Open Pin Explorer from the Research section.
2

Switch to Explore via URL

Click Explore via URL.
3

Paste Pin URLs

Paste one Pinterest Pin URL per line in the text box.
4

Run the lookup

Click Get Pin Stats.
The button changes to Extracting Pin Data while Pinsearch is working.

​
Input format

Paste one URL per line. For example: 
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1234567890/
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/9876543210/
Use full Pinterest Pin URLs when possible. Board URLs, profile URLs, idea URLs, and ordinary website URLs are not the same as Pin URLs.

​
Read the results

URL mode returns the same kind of table used by keyword mode. You can review:
  • Pin image
  • Pin title
  • Pinner username
  • Pinner follower count
  • Published date
  • Saves
  • Comments
  • Reactions
  • Repins
  • Annotations, when available

​
Save or export URL results

After the lookup finishes, you can use the table like any other Pin Explorer result:
  • Select rows and click Save to add pins to a Project.
  • Click Export to download selected pins or all pins.
  • Use the row action menu to open the pin on Pinterest or copy the Pin URL.
  • Click View Annotations to see Pinterest labels when they are available.

​
If a URL does not return a result

If one or more URLs do not return a pin:
  1. Check that each URL is a Pinterest Pin URL.
  2. Paste one URL per line.
  3. Remove extra text before or after the URL.
  4. Try one URL first, then add more after it works.
  5. Retry later if the pin may be unavailable or private.
Pinsearch may return the pins it can read and skip URLs it cannot read.
