If you dig a little deeper by going myrequest.content you get the actual HTML response, which can then be turned into a dict by using JSON.Example:importjsonpin_response=upload_pin(board_id='',image_path='test.png',description='TESTING PIN FUNCTIONALITY WITH ID FETCHING',title='Foobar Barfood',section_id=None,link='')response_data=json.loads(pin_response.content)Some helpful notes on the response:
Everything is stored inside the "resource_response" key. You can use that and grab all sorts of data like so:# This is how you would access this information when creating a pinid=response_data["resource_response"]["data"]["id"]board_id=response_data["resource_response"]["data"]["board"]["id"]section_id=response_data["resource_response"]["data"]["section"]["id"]pinner_username=response_data["resource_response"]["data"]["pinner"]["username"]pinner_id=response_data["resource_response"]["data"]["pinner"]["id"]# If you wanted to access this information in a different circumstance,# keep in mind that whatever your creating should be the first level under "data"# I.e, I created a board, and I want to get the board ID. It would now be:board_id=response_data["resource_response"]["data"]["id"]Get pinnable imagesA pinterest feature they use to pin from websitespinterest.get_pinnable_images(url='https://www.tumblr.com/search/food')PinPin image by web url:pinterest.pin(board_id=board_id, image_url=image_url, description=description, title=title)Pin image from local file:pinterest.upload_pin(board_id=board_id, section_id=section_id, image_file=image_path, description=description, title=title, link=link)Get home feed pinshome_feed_batch = pinterest.home_feed()Get board recommendations (this is the 'more ideas' api)rec_batch = pinterest.board_recommendations(board_id=board_id)Get pin information by idpinterest.load_pin(pin_id='pin_id')Board Section supportpinterest.create_board_section(board_id=board_id, section_name=section_name)pinterest.delete_board_section(section_id=section_id)pinterest.get_board_sections(board_id=board_id)You can also pin and repin to sections.Follow/UnfollowFollowpinterest.follow_user(user_id='target_user_id', username='target_username')Follow limit is 300 per day, after that they might place you on watch listUnfollowpinterest.unfollow_user(user_id='target_user_id', username='target_username')Unfollow limit is 350 per day, after that they might place you on watch listGet followingfollowing_batch = pinterest.get_following(username='some_user')If username is not provided current user will be usedGet followersfollowers_batch=pinterest.get_user_followers(username='some_user')If username is not provided current user will be usedFollow boardpinterest.follow_board(board_id=board_id)Unfollow boardpinterest.unfollow_board(board_id=board_id)Searchsearch_batch = pinterest.search(scope='boards', query='food')Current pinterest scopes are: pins, buyable_pins, my_pins, videos, boardsVisual Searchpin_data = pinterest.load_pin(pin_id='pin_id')
