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.
