title: Pinterest API: Getting the correct counts for a pin
body: <p>I am using the Pinterest API and I am trying to get like and repin counts for a given pin across all of Pinterest. For example:</p>
  
  <p>For this pin (<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/91972017369448537/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/91972017369448537/</a>), I use the API and get 12 repins and 11 likes. However, if you look at the pin on a board (<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/poposandra/article/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/poposandra/article/</a>), it shows 43 repins and 17 likes.</p>
  
  <p>It seems like the API is returning counts for that individual pin, and not accounting for all pins across Pinterest like the board is. Upon further investigating multiple pins, it appears they all share a common value in their link from the API:</p>

  <p>From both pins, they value "4779055074072594921" is shared. Does anyone know what this value represents, and if its possible to search based on that value? Or is there a different way to get the same numbers as seen on boards from the API?? Thanks!</p>
