Issue while creating new pin about py3-pinterest

[bstoilov]

Hey
make sure you have rights to pin to the board
double check that you are providing your correct username

If those are ok, can you give me the line on which you are calling the pin method
are you using it like this:

board_id = 'board_id'
image_url = 'image url'
description = 'this is auto pin'
title = 'a bot did this'
link = 'https://www.google.com/'
pinterest.pin(board_id=board_id, image_url=image_url, description=description, title=title, link=link)

I have cross checked my credentials, they are correct.

below if my code:

from py3pin.Pinterest import Pinterest

username = 'my_username' # (copied from profile url)
password = 'my_password'
email = '[email protected]'
cred_root = 'cred_root'

pinterest = Pinterest(email=email,
                      password=password,
                      username=username,
                      cred_root=cred_root)

def pin():
    board_id = 'test' #created  board manually on  pinterest  by the name of test
    image_url = 'https://www.tineye.com/images/imageurl-firefox.png'
    description = 'this is auto pin'
    title = 'a bot did this'
    link = 'https://www.google.com/'
    
return pinterest.pin(board_id=board_id, image_url=image_url, description=description, title=title, link=link)

board_id should be the id of the board no the name

use pinterest.boards() to get the id of the board with name 'test' and then use the id.

I could add get board by name and use it internally in such cases
