Pinterest Video Download

Download the main video from a Pinterest pin and save it as a local MP4 for personal media workflows such as wallpaper saving, repost preparation, or Live Photo conversion. Use when the user gives a pinterest.com/pin/... URL or pin.it short link and wants the video file from that pin.

1. Resolve the pin URL if the user gives a pin.it short link.
2. Open the pin in the browser and inspect page resources to find the HLS playlist (.m3u8) for the main video.
3. Prefer the highest available variant from the master playlist.
4. Download the video with ffmpeg using stream copy when possible.
5. Save the file under ~/.openclaw/workspace/downloads/ with a stable name based on the pin id.
6. Tell the user where the MP4 was saved. If the user asks, send the MP4 back through chat.

Notes

• Use ffmpeg; install missing dependencies yourself when safe.
• Pinterest often serves HLS playlists from v1.pinimg.com/videos/iht/hls/....
• Verify the saved file with ffprobe or ffmpeg -i when needed.
• If multiple videos are present on the page, pick the primary video visible in the current pin, not a suggested pin below it.
