What it is

Pinterest's crawler. It indexes pages so people can find them on Pinterest and re-reads product pages to keep price and title on a Pin current. Pinterest states that content it crawls is not used to train their Canvas image generation model.

What blocking it costs you

Pins pointing at your site go stale — wrong prices, dead links — and new content stops being indexed. For a retailer this is one of the more expensive blocks on the list.

• /tools/verification-methods?crawler=pinterestbot
  How do I prove a request really is Pinterestbot? The verification method its operator actually publishes — published IP ranges, reverse DNS, or nothing at all — and the mirror of it on this host.

Every parameter above is a value the endpoint reads, not an address it visits: nothing is fetched on your behalf. Called without any parameter, each endpoint returns its own specification instead of an error. All of them.
