Pinterest has launched a developer-centric open API. The Pinterest API (v5) will enable developers to connect quickly and build applications that enable faster Pinterest content creation and direct access to analytics.

Noteworthy features include:

A single API for all use cases: the Pinterest API (v5) is the single API for developers to build applications and solutions for merchants, advertisers, creators and Pinners to drive results on Pinterest.
An open API: Tiered access is introduced to allow developers to test the API safely. Start testing with trial access and then upgrade to standard once you’re ready to share your product with clients and users.
Built with Pinner safety and security in mind: OAuth 2.0 scopes have been redesigned, now with refreshable user access tokens. Pinners’ privacy was top of mind while developing this API. Pinterest continues to give Pinners control of which applications they grant access to.
Developer friendly and easy to use: Pinterest have completely redesigned Pinterest Developers to make it easier for developers to manage their Pinterest apps, add collaborators, and learn best practices for building with Pinterest. In addition to Pinterest Developers, they publish their OpenAPI versioned spec both on their developer site and GitHub. The developers also created a Quickstart tutorial on GitHub to help developers get up to speed quickly. Throughout 2022, they will launch client SDKs and sandbox environments to make it even easier for developers to build on the Pinterest API (v5).
