⚠️ WORLD’S FIRST: Free Working Pinterest Video & Photo Scraper

This tool includes the first-ever free, publicly released, working Pinterest video scraper.

Before VUZA, there was no free tool on the entire internet that could scrape videos from Pinterest. Some tools existed for Pinterest photos, but they were either broken, non-functional, or behind paywalls. I searched everywhere — GitHub, Google, forums — and couldn’t find a single working one.

So I built it from scratch myself.

The Pinterest scraper in VUZA successfully:

• 🔍 Searches Pinterest for any keyword you give it
• 📌 Extracts all pin URLs from search results using Playwright automation
• 📹 Downloads the actual video files using yt-dlp
• 🖼️ Downloads high-resolution photos directly
• ✅ Works reliably and has been tested extensively

This Pinterest scraper feature does not exist in any other AI video tool anywhere — not in Pictory AI, not in InVideo AI, not in MoneyPrinter Turbo, not in MoneyPrinterPlus, not in Pixelle-Video, not anywhere else on GitHub.

📌 Credit Requirement

If you use the Pinterest scraping feature from VUZA in your own projects, tools, forks, or any other software — please give proper credit to this repository and its creator Ali R. / AliRash3ed. This feature took significant effort to research, build, and debug — and it was released completely for free for the community. The minimum you can do is credit where it came from. 🙏

🚀 What is VUZA?

VUZA (Video Utility for Zero-cost Automation) is a free, open-source, AI-powered tool for creating faceless videos automatically. It’s a working open-source alternative to tools like Pictory AI ($23/mo), InVideo AI ($25/mo), and MoneyPrinter Turbo (often broken).

✨ Full Feature List

• 🤖 AI-Powered Script Analysis — AI reads each sentence of your script and automatically generates the perfect visual search keyword for it
• 📹 Auto Media Scraping — Automatically downloads matching HD videos and photos from Pinterest (world’s first!), Pexels & Pixabay

• ⚡ Parallel Processing — Downloads and searches multiple items simultaneously for 3x faster results
• 🛡️ Stock Media Fallback — For Pexels, Pixabay, and Pinterest searches, VUZA tries other sources, simplifies keywords, and can ask AI for a simpler stock-media keyword.
• 🧠 Custom AI Brain — Bring your own API key, URL & model name. Works with OpenRouter (has free models!), OpenAI, DeepSeek, or any OpenAI-compatible API
• 🎨 5 AI Vibe Modes — Aesthetic, LoFi Art, General, Futuristic, and Black & White.

🖥️ How It Works

📝 Default one-click flow: paste a Chinese suspense topic or narration script
    ↓
🤖 AI splits the story into scenes and writes Seedream 4.5 image prompts
    ↓
🎨 Seedream 4.5 generates one cinematic vertical image per scene
    ↓
🎙️ VUZA generates free voiceover for each sentence (Edge TTS — $0 cost)
    ↓
📝 Renders high-retention subtitles onto the video
    ↓
🎬 Assembles the final 9:16 video with transitions, filters, and optional music
    ↓
✅ Done! Your video is ready to download and post.

Optional stock-media flow: switch the source to Pinterest, Pexels, or Pixabay and VUZA will search/download HD media instead of generating Seedream images. Stock searches use the fallback ladder below when keywords are hard to match.

🖥️ Quick Start (Run on Your PC)

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Any internet connection (even slow works!)
• Any PC — even old/low-spec computers run VUZA fine

Installation (2 Minutes)

# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/AliRash3ed/VUZA-Free-AI-Video-Creator-and-Pinterest-Video-Scraper.git
cd VUZA-Free-AI-Video-Creator-and-Pinterest-Video-Scraper

# 2. Install Python dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 3. Install Playwright browser (needed for Pinterest scraping)
playwright install chromium

# 4. Start VUZA
python app.py

🎉 Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser and start creating!

API Keys Setup

VUZA can use free stock-media APIs, plus your own OpenAI-compatible LLM and Seedream 4.5 credentials for AI image generation. Getting the API keys only takes a few minutes:

Service	Get Free Key	What It Does
OpenRouter	openrouter.ai/keys	AI keyword extraction — has many completely free models!
Volcengine Ark / Seedream 4.5	console.volcengine.com/ark	Required for AI image mode and one-click Seedream video generation
Pexels	pexels.com/api	Free stock videos & photos API
Pixabay	pixabay.com/api	Free stock videos & photos API

After getting your keys:

1. Open VUZA in your browser
2. Click ⚙️ API Settings to expand
3. Paste your keys
4. Click Save Settings

Done! Your keys are stored only in your browser’s localStorage — they are never sent to any server except the API endpoints you choose.

💡 Pinterest doesn’t need an API key! It uses Playwright browser automation to scrape directly. This is the feature no other tool has.

---

☁️ Run on Google Colab (Free T4 GPU!)

Don’t have a powerful PC? No problem! Run VUZA 100% free on Google Colab with a T4 GPU!

The T4 GPU makes video rendering much faster than most laptops. Plus you get Google’s fast internet for downloading media — no more slow downloads!

Just click the badge and it will:

1. ✅ Clone VUZA automatically
2. ✅ Install all dependencies
3. ✅ Start the server with a public ngrok URL
4. ✅ Give you a link to open in any browser

💡 Tip: Go to Runtime → Change runtime type → T4 GPU for fastest processing.

🛡️ Stock Media Fallback System

VUZA’s stock-media fallback system helps Pexels, Pixabay, and Pinterest searches recover from difficult or abstract keywords. AI image mode is separate: it requires a configured Seedream 4.5 API key by default.

Step 1 → Try PRIMARY source with original AI-generated keyword
Step 2 → Try PRIMARY source with simplified keyword (strip 'aesthetic'/'lofi')
Step 3 → Try PRIMARY source with just the first word
Step 4 → Try ALL OTHER sources with ALL keyword variations — IN PARALLEL!
Step 5 → If STILL nothing → Ask AI: "Give me ONE ultra-simple keyword 
         that will definitely have stock footage for this sentence."
Step 6 → Try that AI-suggested keyword on Pexels + Pixabay

Result: Stock-media mode gets multiple recovery attempts before giving up. Seedream AI image mode requires both the LLM key and Seedream key up front. The legacy AI-image fallback is only available after stock-media searches fail, an LLM is available, and ALLOW_POLLINATIONS_FALLBACK=1 is explicitly set; it still prefers Seedream when a Seedream key is provided, otherwise it falls back to Pollinations.

🏷️ Related / Similar Tools

VUZA was built because existing tools were either too expensive (Pictory AI, InVideo AI), often broken (MoneyPrinter Turbo), or required complex setups (Pixelle-Video needs ComfyUI).

Here are some other tools in the same space:

• MoneyPrinterTurbo — 49.5k ⭐ — Chinese-focused, often has issues running
• MoneyPrinter — 12.4k ⭐ — Basic automation, no longer maintained
• MoneyPrinterV2 — 13k ⭐ — CLI-based, no GUI
• MoneyPrinterPlus — 5.7k ⭐ — Chinese-focused, complex setup
• Pixelle-Video — 2.3k ⭐ — Requires ComfyUI, heavy dependencies
• AI Faceless Video Generator — 392 ⭐ — Talking face focus, needs GPU

What makes VUZA unique:

1. ✅ Actually works end-to-end without breaking
2. 📌 World’s first free Pinterest video scraper (no other tool has this)
3. 🛡️ Stock-media fallback system (tries 3 platforms + AI re-ask)
4. 💻 Runs on any PC (no GPU needed, no ComfyUI needed)
5. ⚡ 2-minute setup (just pip install and run)
6. 🧠 Bring your own AI (works with any OpenAI-compatible API)
