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 and by Postmixr when you schedule pins.
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, paste it into your API client, or into the board ID field on the Postmixr Pinterest pin composer.
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.
