Pinterest API

Pinterest API Integration

The Pinterest API module allows Stackposts administrators to connect the platform to Pinterest for scheduling and automating pin publishing across boards. This module uses OAuth-based integration and requires a Pinterest Developer App.

⚙️ Configuration Fields

To configure the Pinterest API, complete the following:

• Status

  • Enable: Activates Pinterest integration features.

  • Disable: Disables Pinterest-related functionality.

• Mode
  Choose between:

  • Live: For production usage.

  • Sandbox: For testing and development.

• App ID
  Your Pinterest application’s unique ID, issued upon app registration.
  Example: 1485555

• App Secret
  A secure key that validates your app’s identity in OAuth flows.
  Example: 2818f8e...eeb8656

• Scopes
  These define permissions the app requests from the user. Example:

  user_accounts:read, pins:read, pins:read_secret, pins:write,
pins:write_secret, boards:read, boards:read_secret


🔁 Callback & App Setup

• Callback URL

  https://yourdomain.com/app/pinterest/board


  This must be added to your Pinterest App settings under OAuth Redirect URIs.

• Create Pinterest App
  Register or manage your app at:
  https://developers.pinterest.com/apps/connect/

💾 Save Configuration

Click Save changes to activate and store the integration settings. Once connected, users can authenticate Pinterest accounts and post pins via Stackposts.

✅ Recommendations

• Use Sandbox for initial testing and switch to Live for actual publishing.

• Pinterest requires approval for certain scopes like pins:write_secret—apply for elevated access if needed.

• Ensure all OAuth callback URLs are whitelisted in the Pinterest Developer Console.
