Hello everyone, I am a new user of Make. I am seeking advice on how to achieve the goal of uploading videos from Canva to Pinterest. Currently, I am encountering an issue with using the Pinterest API. How can I resolve this?

  1. Pinterest API Access Token:
  • You need to obtain an access token for the Pinterest API to upload videos.
  • You have the application ID and application secret, but you’re facing challenges in constructing the authorization URL.
  1. Redirect URI Restriction:
  • Your redirect URI cannot contain parameters, complicating the typical OAuth flow where the authorization code is returned as a URL parameter.
  • You need to handle the authorization code exchange on the server side to obtain the access token.
  1. Authorization URL Construction:
  • You need to build an authorization URL without extra parameters and ensure the redirect URI matches the one configured in the Pinterest Developer Console.
  1. Server-Side Handling:

Welcome to the Make community!

You inserted an Absolute (full) URL into the URL field.

If you read the description below it, it says:

Enter a path relative … for example …

So you simply need to omit the first part of the URL that will be added for you.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hey there,

the token is used to create the connection. You don’t need to include it in the Headers of the Make an API call module.
