# Pinterest Board API

- URL: `https://api.captapi.com/v1/pinterest/board`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`

Pins on a Pinterest board — saves, imageOriginal, destinationUrl, top-level author.

Pass a Pinterest board URL (.../username/board-name/ — not a /pin/ URL) and get that board's public pins as clean JSON. Response includes board + boardName, a top-level author{} (pinner card with followers, once), and pins[] with id/url, title when Pinterest exposes it, description, link (outbound URL — no destinationUrl twin), domain, saves, image + imageOriginal + images{236x,564x,originals,…}, and a slim per-pin author{username,displayName}. Cursor pagination via nextCursor + hasMore; a null nextCursor means the end of the pidgets window (~100). Envelope: requested / listingHits / truncatedReason=pidgets-window. ~0.5 credits/pin (min 2).
