Pinterest

This is the short-form, technical reference for the Pinterest plugin. For a more in-depth explanation of the plugin and how it works, see our User Manual article below:

Article: The Pinterest plugin

The Pinterest plugin lets your app's end-users authenticate with Pinterest to sign up and log in to your app, and fetch/create boards and pins.

Settings

The plugin settings allow you to specify your App ID and App Secret token.

  • App ID: this string identifies your application with Pinterest.

  • App secret: this key is used to authenticate your app's access to Pinterest. This key should be kept strictly confidential.

Development tokens

You can also add development tokens as provided by Pinterest, to test the API without it affecting live data. The information added here will automatically be used when you preview your app in the Development environment.

Actions

Signup/login with a social network

The plugin adds a new action to the Bubble editor that lets your end-users sign in and log in to your app using their Pinterest account. These two processes are contained within one action:

Account - Signup/login with a social network

Bubble will automatically create a new account or log in an existing account, depending on whether the end-user already has a Google-authenticated account set up with your app.

Additional actions

The following actions are also added to the Bubble editor with the Pinterest plugin:

  • Have Current User Follow A Pinterest Board

  • Have Current User Unfollow A Pinterest Board

  • Have Current User Follow A Pinterest User
