Pinterest pin and video downloader for Telegram

Send a link to a single pin to @download_it_bot and the bot returns its picture or video. The result is delivered directly: Pinterest is on the bot's short list of single-format platforms, so there is no format list to go through.

Links that work

• A pin page: pinterest.com/pin/<id>/, on any Pinterest country domain such as pinterest.co.uk. Tracking tails like /sent/?invite_code=… are cut off by the bot.
• The short pin.it/<code> link from the Pinterest app's Share button. The bot opens it through Pinterest's own short-link service and works with the full pin address from then on. That way a pin downloaded via pin.it and via the long link is stored once.
• The search-friendly form pinterest.com/<category>-pin/<title>--<id>/ is the same pin; the bot rewrites it to /pin/<id>/ before downloading.

What you get

• An image pin arrives as a picture. When the usual extractor returns nothing for a pure-image pin, the bot reads the pin from Pinterest's public pin data and picks the original-size image, falling back to the largest smaller version.
• A video pin arrives as a video, using the version with the largest width that Pinterest lists for it.

Links that are refused

A board or a profile holds many pins, not one, so the bot answers immediately: «Pinterest boards and profiles aren't supported. Send a link to a specific pin (pinterest.com/pin/<id>/).» The check looks at the address: pinterest.com/<user>/ and pinterest.com/<user>/<board>/ are refused, pinterest.com/pin/<id>/ is not.

Limits

Short pin.it links are on the priority list; full pinterest.com links are processed as regular links, so on the free plan they fall under the 50 MB file cap. Resolution, file size and weekly traffic follow your plan; see Plans and Limits and quota. The free plan allows 2 GB of weekly traffic.

FAQ

How do I get a pin link? In the Pinterest app, open the pin, tap Share, then Copy link. The result is usually a pin.it/… link, and the bot accepts it.

Can I download a whole board? No. Send pins one at a time.

Do I get a choice of quality? No. Pinterest is on the short-form list, so the bot takes the best version it finds and sends it.

Does it work with Pinterest links from other countries? Yes. Country domains like pinterest.de or pinterest.co.uk are recognized the same way as pinterest.com.
