About
Pinterest's official API v5 lets apps create and manage pins and boards, read analytics, and run shopping features. New developers start on Trial Access, which is a free sandbox with limited calls, and can apply for Standard Access (a review, still free) to publish to real accounts. If your business runs on Pinterest traffic, this is how you automate pin creation at scale.
