Does Pinterest button have a callback?

Question

I need to unlock content when someone shares the post with pinterest, and I can't find a callback function on pinterest button. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

You could wrap the pinterest link with a span and add a jQuery click event to the span to at least know that the pinit button was clicked. That's about the best you can do until they release a real callback so you can know that an item was actually pinned.

<span id="pin-container"><a data-pin-config="beside" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=[your_url]&media=[your_image]&description=[your_desc]" data-pin-do="buttonPin" ><img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" /></a></span>

$('#pin-container').click(function () {
        alert('clicked pin button');
    });
