Pinterest profile API — profile counter, not a board counter

Handle format and anchor

• Handle: username
• Anchor: ld+json ProfilePage

What this endpoint does not return.

• verifiedNull. Pinterest has three different badges — domain_verified, is_verified_merchant and verified_identity. Picking one would publish a badge the platform did not grant.

A field we cannot read comes back null, never 0. A zero would be a claim about the account; null is a fact about our collection.

Where this goes wrong.

Read from the structured block, not by regex. follower_count appears 42 times on the page and the neighbours are BOARD counters: 556445 is the profile, 527020 and 526128 are boards. A regex would take whichever came first.

Cost

1 credit per call. A call that finds nothing costs nothing.
