Exception: Wrong credentials

See original GitHub issue

Hi, thanks for maintaining this module!

I can’t seem to create a pin without getting a wrong credential error. I’ve cross referenced my credentials several time so I am positive they are correct. I have copy and pasted them straight from Pinterest to make sure.

from py3pin.Pinterest import Pinterest

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

# get boards (works fine)
board_batch = pinterest.boards() 

# example board ID
pinterest.pin(board_id='845258473083496787', image_url='https://www.321howto.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Perfect-Garden-2018.jpg', description='A truly perfect description!', title='Great title', link='www.google.com')

Exception: Wrong credentials

Looks like there’s a 429 error in the mix which is odd as this is my only attempted request…

Hi again bstoilov,

I looked into it a bit more and it turned out the reason I couldn’t log in with py3-pinterest was that it was using the linked google account to log in. I removed the google account link and now the module works fine.

Sorry to bother you and thanks again!
