Creating a Custom OAuth Application
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
- Navigate to https://developers.pinterest.com/apps/.
- Log in to your Pinterest account.
- Click Create app.
- Specify an app Name and Description.
- Click Create.
- 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.
- 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.
