No media URL available

Error message

No media URL available

What it means

download builds the output file from the first entry of info.available_qualities. If that list is empty (Pinterest HTML yielded no video/image URL), first() is None and this error is thrown. It indicates extraction succeeded structurally but produced no downloadable media URL.

Solutions

1. Check available_qualities.is_empty() before calling download and surface a clearer 'no extractable media' message.
2. Update the video/image extraction patterns (extract_video_url / image extraction) against current Pinterest HTML.
3. Inspect the fetched HTML manually for the pin to see which extraction pattern needs updating.
4. Try alternative extraction sources (Pinterest's JSON-LD, oEmbed, or __NEXT_DATA__ blob) when regex extraction fails.

Example fix

// before
let quality = info
    .available_qualities
    .first()
    .ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("No media URL available"))?;
// after
let quality = info
    .available_qualities
    .iter()
    .find(|q| !q.url.is_empty())
    .ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("No media URL available for '{}' (extraction found no downloadable media)", info.title))?;

// Rust: verify extractable media before downloading
if info.available_qualities.is_empty()
    || info.available_qualities.iter().all(|q| q.url.is_empty()) {
    return Err(anyhow!("pin has no downloadable media"));
}

match download(opts).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("No media URL available") => {
        eprintln!("Pin contains no downloadable video/image; extractor may be outdated");
    }
    other => other?,
}

When it happens

Trigger: download() is called on a MediaInfo whose available_qualities is empty — media extraction found no video or image URL in the pin's HTML (e.g. story pins, GIF-only content, or extraction regex/pattern mismatch after a Pinterest markup change).

Common situations: Pinterest changed its HTML/JSON structure so extractors silently return nothing; pin contains only unsupported media types; fetch returned a shell page requiring JS rendering; pin is age-restricted with media hidden.

Understand the failure class

Background: EmptyResultError / "no results found": when an API or scraper succeeds but returns zero rows — this error's family across 9 libraries.
