How to get access token for access Pinterest Api

Question

I have Googled and searched on stackoverflow but could not find the answer.

I am writing an app, and this needs access to the Pinterest API. This is my github repo: https://github.com/kellan/pinterest.api.php

$p = new Pinterest_API();
$p->fetch_access_token($client_id, $client_secret, $username, $password);
$resp = $p->some_api_call($args);

But i dont know where to find $client_id and $client_secret?

@Emil doubtful, seeing as the github repo he is linking to wasn't developed by Pinterest, it's 3rd party, Kellan Elliott-McCrea's. – Benevento

Answer 1

Go here, click Generate, and get an access token: https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/access_token/

Example: get statuses using: https://api.pinterest.com/v1/me/pins/?access_token=TOKEN&fields=id,creator,note&limit=2

See docs for extra parameters and requests: https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/api/overview/

Answer 2

As far as I'm aware, the Pinterest API has been taken down. I even got a take-down notice on my Pinterest Chrome extension.

Yep, Pinterest API has been taken down. All my apps were affected as well.

This v1 api link now only shows hyphen, dash on its count

We can only wait till its back. I bookmarked your question and will try to update you when its back.

Hey Sudh, at the moment, there are still no official docs for Pinterest API. this is undocumented and was taken from looking at their pinterest button. – Knop
