Welcome to the Make community!

You can find an API on RapidAPI to get YouTube video details including thumbnail.

How to call an API on RapidAPI

Use the HTTP “Make an API Key Auth Request” module.

Create a new keychain connection and insert your RapidAPI API Key.

Key: <YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY>
API Key parameter name: X-RapidAPI-Key

You can reuse this RapidAPI keychain for all API calls to RapidAPI – you’ll just need to change the X-RapidAPI-Host value based on the API you are calling.

To create a pin on Pinterest, you can try using the Pinterest “Create a Pin” module —

Creates a new pin.

For more information, see https://www.make.com/en/integrations/pinterest, and https://www.make.com/en/help/app/pinterest in the help centre.

I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario. If you need specific assistance when you are building a scenario it’s easier to help you then. Otherwise, you can also hire a professional by posting a request in the Hire a Pro category.

Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —
