About PinClicks

Hey, I’m Tony Hill 👋

I created PinClicks because I was tired of using bad, out-dated tools to get pin stats for top-performing pins and perform keyword research.

I also wanted to start tracking my keyword rankings (and my competitors) within Pinterest search and nothing like that existed yet.

Every month I’m launching new features and tools for PinClicks because they’re the tools I need for myself and I know will serve other Pinterest creators, too 😊

FAQs

How are you getting all of the data for Pinterest pins?

We get it from scraping Pinterest’s pages and content. We’ve figured out specific public pages where Pinterest stores and uses this data for their own site.

Unfortunately, we can’t use Pinterest’s API to do this because they don’t allow showing people pin data for other accounts through their service nor do they allow us to store data we retrive from their API. If you are wondering, scraping public web pages is legal and is of no risk to you.

Be careful about using 3rd party Pinterest tools that show you data from other pins, store data only available from the Pinterest API and requires you to login / connect your Pinterest account. Doing so means you violate Pinterest’s terms of service and puts your account at risk.

What’s the best way to utilize the data I get from PinClicks?


I perform research within PinClicks to:

– Inform the style of pin designs I create for specific topics (image style, colors, typography, etc.)

– Inform the style of pins to not create in order to stand out.

– Find keywords beyond what Pinterest Trends will show you

– See my keyword competitor’s keyword rankings to find new topics I can cover (and do a better job at it)

– Track my keyword rankings to see how well I’m optimizing my pins – what works and what doesn’t!
