Pinterest requires you to create an external application that links your website to its API. Pinterest’s API Key and Secret APP are what we call app login credentials.

This application will link your website to the Pinterest API and these credentials are needed for Pinterest users to access your site.

To enable authentication with Stackposts and to sign up for the new Pinterest API Application, follow these steps:
