jamztang / JTPinIt

An incomplete project which aimed to provide share to Pinterest without going through that in-app camera which crops your image
13 stars 1 forks source link

Using the Pinterest url scheme doesn't managed to upload an image successfully #1

The Pinterest app has been successfully triggered and directed to the info input page, but it returns "Couldn't add a pin" after posting the data.

The base url scheme

pinit12://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?

And looks like to require a few GET parameters

media=[direct_link/base64imagestring] url=[url] alt=[alt] title=[title] is_video=false

trying to mimic the schema in the project without been able to have a successful pin

php header() i was able to get the media param accepted but not the url

pinit12://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?media=urlencode([imgUrl]));

So the problem looks like to be need to figure out how they encrypt and decrypt the media param

I got it working and don't think i actually changed anything

test pin below ( the url doesn't actually match the image source, so don't get mixed up there)

pinit12://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcoralcharlotte.com%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Fpinstrip.es%2Fuploads%2F14fb18b9b0afaa%2F14fb18b9b0afaa.png

Before I implement though, I need to work through a reasonable solution for figuring out how to test and use the url when appropriate for users via the browser. I'm probably just going to have to ask them.

As for your problem, this guy seems to have had some luck with iOS, assuming it works http://jasonlarsen.me/post/19671749235/reverse-engineering-pinterest-app - his sample is using a web-based image, as I do, so you may not have the same luck accessing the image library. Not being an IOS guy i don't know if you can pass an image url that way or now.

Yeah, does work with remote images, but not with local images which I picked from library.
