Pinterest module-Code: RuntimeError up to today

:bullseye: What is your goal?

For the past 3 days, I haven’t been able to publish on Pinterest. The module keeps returning with the error

:thinking: What is the problem & what have you tried?

I’ve double-checked everything and re-authorized access, but without success. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Thank you for your help.

“[400] {“code”:2787,“message”:“Sorry! Something went wrong on our end.”} Code: RuntimeError Origin: Pinterest”

I can confirm that my Pinterest automations are posting successfully.

Can you maybe try rerunning something that succeeded on the past?

Hi Stoyan,

I rerunning succeeded operation on the past, but the same error occurred. I even tested with another automation tool, and I got the same issue and the same message. Perhaps Pinterest wants to limit publishing with automation tools? Or perhaps the recent Cloudflare issue impacted API access for some sites?

Pinterest is trying to hit AI generated content, not content published by automations.

Also, I’m not familiar with any recent Cloudflare outages that affected Pinterest.

Testing with another tool means the issue is on Pinterest side though which is at least a lead. Did you try posting something manually?

Yes, I posted manually and two things happened. When I upload the image directly from my computer, the pin is published without any problem. But when I use the “upload image via URL”, I get this message on Pinterest:

{“name”:“ApiClientError”,“message”:“504 - “upstream request timeout””,“statusCode”:504,“error”:“upstream request timeout”,“originalErrorName”:“StatusCodeError”,“apiHost”:“coreapp-ngapi-prod-0a01c591”,“http_status”:504,“path”:“/v3/images/find/”,“method”:“GET”}

I tested it on two different accounts. Same issues

Where are you hosting the images?

Could be that the host is timing out or is blocking Pinterest and this is causing the scenarios to fail.

I checked my host, firewall, and security plugins in WordPress without success. The only solution I found was to add an “Http: Download file” module and in the Pinterest module, change the “image URL” setting to “image64”. It’s working now.

Thanks Stoyan for your help

Same problem, same solution! Thanks!
