I want to post Pins using Pinterest API. I have tried to generate code using ChatGPT but it returns an error.
Here is my code so far ...
<?php
$clientId = "xxx"; // Replace with your App ID
$clientSecret = "xxx"; // Replace with your App Secret
$redirectUri = "xxx"; // Must match the one used earlier
$authCode = "xxx"; // Paste the code from the URL
// Pinterest API token endpoint
$tokenUrl = "https://api.pinterest.com/v5/oauth/token";
$postFields = [
'grant_type' => 'authorization_code',
'code' => $authCode,
'redirect_uri' => $redirectUri,
'continuous_refresh' => true
];
$authHeader = base64_encode("$clientId:$clientSecret");
$ch = curl_init($tokenUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($postFields));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Authorization: Basic ' . $authHeader
]);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
$error = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($response === false) {
die("cURL Error: " . htmlspecialchars($error));
}
$data = json_decode($response, true);
// Error handling for HTTP response
if ($httpCode !== 200) {
die("Pinterest API Error: HTTP $httpCode - " . htmlspecialchars($response));
}
// Error handling for API response
if (!isset($data['access_token'])) {
die("Error: Invalid response from Pinterest API. Full response: " . json_encode($data, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));
}
// Successfully received access token
$accessToken = $data['access_token'];
echo "Access Token: " . htmlspecialchars($accessToken);
?>Here is the error message I am getting ...
Failed to create pin. Response: {"code":2,"message":"Authentication failed.","status":"failure"}
I tried many things but it always return an error.
Here is the docs page: https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/api/v5/oauth-token
Is there something I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated.
