Pinterest 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.

Trigger Code#

import pinterest from "../../pinterest.app.mjs";
import common from "../common.mjs";

export default {
  key: "pinterest-new-board",
  name: "New Board Event",
  description: "Emit new events when new boards are created. [See the docs](https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/api/v5/#operation/boards/list)",
  version: "0.1.0",
  type: "source",
  ...common,
  props: {
    pinterest,
    ...common.props,
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getResourceFn() {
      return this.pinterest.getBoards;
    },
    getResourceFnArgs() {
      return {};
    },
    getSummary(item) {
      return `New board ${item.name} (ID:${item.id})`;
    },
    compareFn(item) {
      return this.getLastId() < item.id;
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Pinterest	`pinterest`	`app`	This component uses the Pinterest app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.

Trigger Authentication#

Pinterest uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Pinterest account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Pinterest and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Pinterest API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

boards:readboards:read_secretboards:writeboards:write_secretpins:readpins:read_secretpins:writepins:write_secretuser_accounts:read

Box Overview#

The Box API offers a playground for enhancing content management and collaboration within your cloud storage. With Pipedream, you can orchestrate Box's functionality to automate document handling, streamline approval flows, sync files across apps, and trigger actions based on file events. Think of Pipedream as the glue that allows you to connect Box with your tech stack, triggering workflows with new file uploads, comments, or when sharing settings change, to enhance productivity and minimize manual labor.
