Searching for pictures only displays the first page of Pinterest results (22 ± 3 posts) #2

Current output

Only around 20-25 pictures are shown when searching for any query. This happens on both instances (ahwx and revvy). Using the original site, the pictures appear gradually (~20 load, then if the user scrolls, more posts appear).

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use any instance (for example pinternet.ahwx.org),
  2. Search for any query with moderate interest.

Expected output

Similar behavior to the original site.

Hey! Thanks for showing interest in my project! :)

It seems to be an issue/limitation with Pinterest's API. I cannot get any results showing more pictures.

Does it means that the problem is unsolvable ?

Seems like it. I might recode it later but depression hits like a bus.

Honestly we could make web scraping a thing but I feel like we need to emulate a browser then, since Pinterest depends on loading when the bottom of a page is hit.
