Superpowers

# Pinterest

Note

Pinterest arrives in OmniGet 1.0.1. Version 1.0.0, the one you can download today, does not have it yet.

The Pinterest superpower is a Pinterest client that works through your own session in OmniGet’s built-in browser. You browse your home feed, boards and pins, search for ideas and follow people, with audience, analytics and search monitoring tools next to it.

## Where it is

**Superpowers › Pinterest › Open**. The card is always shown: there is no switch for it in **Settings › Integrations**.

After you sign in, the tabs on the left are **Feed**, **Search**, **My profile**, **Audience**, **Analytics** and **Monitor**.

## How to use it

1.  Open Pinterest and choose **Sign in to Pinterest**. OmniGet opens Pinterest in its own browser window.
2.  Sign in there by hand, the way you always do. OmniGet never sees your password.
3.  Back in OmniGet, choose **I already signed in** if the screen does not move on by itself, then **Continue**.

The session stays in the OmniGet browser profile, on this computer. You can also import your usual browser profile in the [Global Downloader](https://getomniget.com/docs/global-downloader).

Warning

This uses Pinterest’s website the way you would, not an official API. Pinterest may ask you to confirm it is you, limit the account or block automated use. Keep the pace human.

## Feed and Search

-   **Feed** is your home feed of pins. **Load more** brings the next page.
-   A pin shows its board and, when it links somewhere, the site it points to, with its save count.
-   Open a pin to see it whole, with its comments when Pinterest lets a browser session read them.
-   **Download the media** sends the pin’s image or video to your download queue (a download folder must be set in Settings), and **Open in the browser** opens the pin on Pinterest.
-   **Search** uses **Search Pinterest** with three kinds: **Pins**, **Boards** and **People**.

### Boards and people

Click a person to open the profile, with **Follow** or **Unfollow**. Click a board to open it like a profile and see its pins. **My profile** opens yours.

What this screen does not do: it has no like button, you cannot write a comment from it, and creating a pin is not built. Saving a pin to a board is available to agents as a tool (see below).

## Audience

**Audience** reads your followers and the accounts you follow, and compares each reading with the one before.

1.  Choose **Sync**. The lists are read at a human pace; when the app pauses, choose **Continue**. What was read is saved.
2.  Pick a view: **Don’t follow back**, **Unfollowed you**, **New followers**, **Fans**, **Mutuals**, **Followers**, **Following**, **Inactive**, **Keep list**, **Hidden** or **Trend**.
3.  Narrow it with **Search name, handle or bio**, **Filters** and **Quick filters**. When a filter needs a field Pinterest’s lists do not carry, the screen says which.
4.  On a row, **Open profile**, **Unfollow**, **Add to keep list** (those accounts cannot be unfollowed from here until you remove them) or **Hide from the lists**.
5.  **Export CSV** saves the current list.

History starts with your first sync: **Don’t follow back** shows right away, **Unfollowed you** and **New followers** from the second sync on. An unfollow is shown with the two syncs it happened between; the exact moment is not known. There is no bulk unfollow: each one is a single click.

**Trend** draws followers and following over time once there are syncs on two different days.

## Analytics

1.  Leave **Account** empty for your own account, or type another public one.
2.  Pick **Posts to read** (20, 50, 100 or 200; 50 by default).
3.  Choose **Analyze**, then a report: **Summary**, **Posts**, **Best times**, **Media**, **Hashtags**, **Words**, **Trend**, **Outliers** or **Compare**.

The reports work on the pins an account created. **Compare** takes up to 4 other accounts on the same number of newest pins. **Export CSV** saves the report and **Create report** writes one HTML file with a Markdown copy. Under **More analyses** you find **Compare periods** and **Post over time**. Results are reused for 10 minutes; **Read the posts again** forces a new reading.

Numbers Pinterest does not show to a browser session are listed under **What a browser session cannot see** and are never estimated. Pinterest’s own analytics for business accounts are not read here.

## Monitor

1.  Choose **New monitor**, type what to search for and choose **Save**. A Pinterest monitor is a search for pins.
2.  Choose **Check now** or **Check all now**.
3.  Read the **Posts found**, with **Unread only** and **Mark all read**.

Pinterest has no mentions search a browser session can read, so there is no mentions inbox here. You can keep up to 50 monitors. **Check automatically** can be **Off** or every 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes, and checks run only while this tab is open or when an agent asks for one. **Surge today** appears when today has at least 5 posts and more than 3 times the daily average of the last 7 days.

**Schedule** does not exist for Pinterest: publishing from OmniGet is built for X only.

## For AI agents

Agents connected through the [MCP server](https://getomniget.com/docs/mcp-server) get the `pin_*` tools plus the shared `social_*` tools. Call `social_status` first.

-   Reading: `pin_me`, `pin_feed`, `pin_search`, `pin_pin`, `pin_user`, `pin_user_posts`, `pin_boards`, `pin_board`, `pin_followers`, `pin_following`, the audience views and `pin_analytics`.
-   Acting: `pin_save` (save a pin to one of your boards, or undo it) and `pin_follow`.

There is no tool that creates a pin.

If you turned on **Ask me first** (under **What other programs can do** in **Settings › AI & agents**), each action waits in the OmniGet window with **Approve** and **Deny**. A request expires after 5 minutes and a denial is final for the agent. With or without it, agents are held to 20 actions on Pinterest every 10 minutes, at least 4 seconds apart. Pin titles, descriptions and comments are outside content, which agents should treat as untrusted.

## Common problems

### “The Pinterest session ended. Sign in again.”

Pinterest signed the browser out. Choose **Sign in to Pinterest** and sign in by hand again.

### The screen keeps asking to sign in after you did

Pinterest sends some people to a regional address. Wait for the page to finish loading in the browser window, then choose **I already signed in**.

### A pin shows no comments

Pinterest does not always let a browser session read a pin’s comments. The pin itself still opens; use **Open in the browser** to read them on the site.

### “Pinterest is limiting requests from this account for now. Wait a few minutes.”

Wait. The Audience sync keeps what it read and goes on with **Continue**.

### “Pinterest changed something on its side and OmniGet could not read the answer.”

The client reads Pinterest’s website, which changes without notice. Update OmniGet when a new version is out.
