Unofficial pinterest api implemented in python 3

py3-pinterest

Unofficial Pinterest API implemented in python 3 that can do almost all pinterest tasks like comment, pin, repin, follow, unfollow and more. It is implemented by directly calling the pinterest servers, mimicking an actual browser, so you don't need pinterest API key.

If you see any issues, or find bugs feel free to report them here on the github repo.

Install using pip

pip install py3-pinterest

NOTE: for each of the functionalities listed below there is a working example under the project root.

Create new instance of the API

pinterest = Pinterest(email='your email goes here', password='password goes here', username='look in pinterest url', cred_root='cred root dir')

cred_root is the dir (automatically created if missing) that will store some cookies nad sessions, so you don't need to login before each request. Make sure you specify a path with read/write persmissions.

The following features are currently supported

Login
