This section shows how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on macOS.

Minimum macOS Version

The CData ODBC Driver for Pinterest driver requires macOS Sierra (10.12) or above.

Licensing the Driver

In a terminal, run the following commands to license the driver. To activate a trial, omit the <key> input.

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Pinterest/bin"
sudo ./install-license.sh <key>

You'll be prompted for a name and password. These refer to your name and your machine's password.

Connecting to Pinterest

Pinterest authentication is based on the standard OAuth flow. To authenticate, you must initially create an app via the Pinterest developer's platform where you can obtain an OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL.

InitiateOAuth to GETANDREFRESH, OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL parameters will be set as connection properties to your driver.

See Connecting to Pinterest for other OAuth authentication flows.

Uninstalling the Driver

The easiest way to uninstall the driver is to open a terminal and run the included uninstall.sh script, located in the installation directory. For example:

cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Pinterest"
sudo ./uninstall.sh

Note: The script needs to be run from the installation directory.
