Overview#
The Pinterest API opens a portal to interact programmatically with Pinterest's rich data, including boards, pins, and user information. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can automate actions like posting new pins, extracting pin data for analysis, and synchronizing Pinterest content with other platforms. The potential extends to marketing optimization, content management, and audience engagement, all automated and integrated within the Pipedream ecosystem.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
pinterest: {
type: "app",
app: "pinterest",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.pinterest.com/v5/user_account`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.pinterest.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Content Synchronization Between E-commerce and Pinterest: When a new product is added to an e-commerce site like Shopify, automatically create a pin for that product on a specified Pinterest board. Sync product updates or availability to Pinterest in real-time to engage users with the latest offerings.
Social Media Analytics Dashboard: Collect data from Pinterest such as pin performance, board statistics, and audience insights. Send this data to Google Sheets or a data visualization tool like Tableau to create a comprehensive analytics dashboard, enabling data-driven marketing strategies.
Automated Inspirational Content Posting: Set up a workflow where inspirational quotes, sourced from a platform like Quotes API, are periodically posted as pins to designated inspiration boards on Pinterest. This can keep your boards active and engaging without manual intervention.
