Hi @ALEXDINO7 are you adding a Basic and encoding the client_id:client_secret with base 64 prefix to the headers?

url_api = "https://api.pinterest.com/v5/oauth/token"
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Basic {HERE I ADDED MY CORRET CLIENT_ID:CLIENT_SECRET}',
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

params = {
    'grant_type': 'authorization_code',
    'code': 'HERE I ADDED MY CODE ITS WORKING ',
    'redirect_uri': 'https://www.heremywebsite.com/'
}

response = requests.post(url_api, headers=headers, data=params)

print(response.status_code)

[ALEXDINO7]

yes i use this website https://www.base64encode.org/

i generated Authorization by doing this client_id:client_secret

did you mean i include the word basic + client_id:client_secret ??

@ALEXDINO7 looks like you have some authentication error not related to the SDK, please ask for support for your developer app
