How the Pinterest board ID finder works
Paste a Pinterest board URL (the page where pins live, not a single pin). Our server fetches the public board page and reads the canonical <meta property="pinterestapp:pinboard" content="…"> tag Pinterest embeds for OG/iOS deeplinks. That number is the board ID required by the Pinterest API when you build pin payloads.
Using the board ID with the Pinterest API
When you POST to /v5/pins, the board_id parameter must be the numeric ID, not the username/board-slug URL. Copy the ID from this page and paste it into your API client. You can connect Pinterest in Postmixr; scheduled pin publishing is coming soon.
Rate limits and supported URLs
Public boards only: secret boards are not fetchable without an OAuth token. The lookup is rate-limited per IP so the free tool stays free. If you hit a 429, wait a minute and retry.
- Works on pinterest.com and country variants (pinterest.co.uk, pinterest.de, etc.).
- Short links from pin.it follow redirects automatically.
- If the board has no pinterestapp:pinboard meta, the page is likely private or removed.
