pinterest-search — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Locates public Pinterest imagery and videos from a search term. It extracts direct image links, pin destinations, and titles for moodboard curation.
npx skills add PostPlusAI/postplus-skills --skill pinterest-search -a claude-codeWhat pinterest-search does
The skill queries public Pinterest pins via the postplus CLI utility. It formats every found item into a record with an image link and a pin URL. Repeated picture files get discarded automatically. The first run requires a minimum limit of 20 results.
Filtering lets you fetch regular pins or video items exclusively. Pulling complete user boards, store fields, or pin interaction metrics is not supported. Each run consumes PostPlus balance credits. Without enough credits, the command will halt immediately.
Run postplus doctor --skill pinterest-search to verify local readiness.
