I am trying to fetch Pinterest data, which would be the public info of the user(follower count etc), and all pins for a user.
I know the v3 API are up now and v2 apis have been taken down.
I found this link which gives me end points for exactly what I want:
http://techslides.com/most-repinned-pinterest-pins-by-website/
But I am unable to get an access_token. I have asked pinterest for api access but they have not replied. And I am unable to sniff app data too.
I also tried Pinterest's signature tester tool which is on their website but no luck. The link it generates doesn't work either. It returns a authorization failure.
https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/signature/
I have access to APP-ID and Client-Secret. I need to know how can I get an access token/ API-KEY to get the following work fine for me:
https://api.pinterest.com/v3/users/jessicamalba/?access_token=APIKEY
EDIT
Before I am told that is an duplicate of
How to get access token for access Pinterest Api
I would just say that it is not. This question was asked one year ago and was asked in respect to V2 api. Which now return a 404
status. So now here I am asking about the V3 api.
The Pinterest API (v5) allows developers to connect quickly and begin building applications to enable faster creation of content on Pinterest and access user, Pin and ads analytics.
Pin ID can be found by looking at a Pin's URL. The string of numbers at the end of the URL is the Pin ID (example: pinterest.com/pin/617415430169271912).
Okay, so as of today, following are the parts of the api that are public and used by widgets.
