Authorise Pinterest App

Tags:

pinterest

I have added a collaborator for my Pinterest app, however, when accessing the colaberators account and clicking on the application there is no 'authorise' button or anything similar. The "You still need at least 1 collaborator to authorize your app before you can submit" warning still shows on the collaberators account. Ant help would be appreciated, thanks!

I had issue. By reading and following accepted answer, I waited 5 weeks and still submit for review button was not there.

What I did was I authorise my app for code which later I used for getting access token.

Once I successfully authorised my app using below authorisation URL the "Submit for review button " appeared in a second.

Authorisation URL:

https://api.pinterest.com/oauth/?response_type=code&client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&redirect_uri=https://localhost:8000&scope=write_public read_public&state=abcdefg

Use your client_id to authenticate to your app. Once you are done with that you can see the "Submit For review button" after refreshing the browser.

Hope it helps!

We had the same problem. You need to at least add two co-workers, one as collaborator and one as tester. These must be different people. And then, after some while (!) the authorize button has appeared.

The co-workers need to accept the invitation as well, of course.

After submitting, it will take some weeks (!) until you get the approval.
