PinSharp

An async C# wrapper library for the Pinterest API.

• https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/getting-started/introduction/

Notice

This project is still in the early phases and as such breaking changes might be introduced regularly. Use at your own risk.

Examples

You need an access token to use the API.

If you don't have one already you can generate one here: https://developers.pinterest.com/tools/access_token/

// Create a client with your access token
var client = new PinterestClient("AB_IBS7Q0fFQbXJ90JGtSDXNMV-tEBkfLftbK6JCpEWkGoA_MwAAAAA");

// Get board information
var board = await client.Boards.GetBoardAsync("machineshopcafe/best-of-mclaren-machine");

// Get pins on board
var pins = await client.Boards.GetPinsAsync("machineshopcafe/best-of-mclaren-machine");

// Get pins on board but only with fields 'creator' and 'board' as dynamic or your own type
var pins = await client.Boards.GetPinsAsync<dynamic>("rice_up/tableware", new[] { "creator", "board" });

// Get user info of the user associated with the access token
var user = await client.Me.GetUserAsync();

// Get pins of the user associated with the access token
var pins = await client.Me.GetPinsAsync();

// Get boards of the user associated with the access token
var boards = await client.Me.GetBoardsAsync();

// Search the associated user's pins or boards
var pins = await client.Me.SearchPinsAsync("mclaren");
var boards = await client.Me.SearchBoardsAsync("mclaren");

// Create new pin
var newPin = await client.Pins.CreatePinAsync("machineshopcafe/best-of-mclaren-machine", "http://i.imgur.com/abcdef.jpg", "Looks so cool!");

// Follow/unfollow board or user
await client.Me.FollowBoardAsync("machineshopcafe/best-of-mclaren-machine");
await client.Me.UnfollowBoardAsync("machineshopcafe/best-of-mclaren-machine");
await client.Me.FollowUserAsync("machineshopcafe");
await client.Me.UnfollowUserAsync("machineshopcafe");
