Creating a Custom OAuth Application

The process for creating a custom OAuth application creates a new app linked to your Pinterest account, registers it in the Pinterest Developers Portal, and obtains the OAuthClientId, OAuthClientSecret, and CallbackURL.

Procedure

1. Navigate to https://developers.pinterest.com/apps/.
2. Log in to your Pinterest account.
3. Click Create app.
4. Specify an app Name and Description.
5. Click Create.
6. Fill the required details in the form:
   • Set Auth Callback URL to https://localhost:33333 or a different port of your choice.
   • Specify whether your custom application can be accessed by multiple users or only by the owner.

7. Save your changes. The Pinterest Developers Portal creates the new custom OAuth application.

When application creation is complete, the Developers Portal displays a confirmation message. To reveal the new custom application's Client ID and Client Secret, click View Client ID.

Record these settings for future use.
