Pinterest sources – Adding and troubleshooting

How to add a Pinterest account or a specific Pinterest board to your Juicer feed, including the format Juicer expects and known Pinterest API limitations.

Written by Mario T.

You can add Pinterest accounts and Pinterest boards to your Juicer feed. To get started, click + Add source on your feed dashboard and select Pinterest.

Add a Pinterest account

A Pinterest account source pulls in pins from all of the user's public boards.

  1. Open the Pinterest profile you want to display, for example https://www.pinterest.com/nasa.

  2. On the Username tab in the Pinterest source form, paste either the username (nasa) or the full profile URL (https://www.pinterest.com/nasa).

  3. Save the source. Pins from that user's public boards will start syncing into your feed.

Add a Pinterest board

Board sources are available on paid plans, see the pricing page for details.

  1. Open the Pinterest board you want to display, for example https://www.pinterest.com/nasa/learn-with-nasa.

  2. Switch to the Board tab in the Pinterest source form.

  3. Paste either the full board URL or just the username/board-name portion, for example nasa/learn-with-nasa.

  4. Save the source. Pins from that specific board will start syncing into your feed.

A few things to know about Pinterest

  • No pinned-at timestamp. Pinterest's API doesn't return when a pin was added, so when you first add a Pinterest source, all of its existing pins arrive with the same timestamp and may appear bunched together at the top of your feed. New pins coming in after that point are timestamped correctly relative to each other.

  • Public content only. Private or secret boards won't sync.

  • Regional image issues. Pinterest occasionally has trouble serving its image URLs in some regions outside the U.S., which can cause pins to appear without images. If you see this, get in touch using the contact link below.

If pins aren't appearing from your Pinterest source, or images are missing, contact us with the feed name, the Pinterest profile or board URL involved, and the exact value you entered in the source field, and we'll take a look.
