POST

/v1/accounts/{accountId}/boards

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api-v1.tailwind.ai/v1/accounts/example/boards \

  --data '{ "name": "example", "description": "example", "privacy": "public" }'

• Production
• Development

Create a board on the account’s Pinterest profile. Creating a board does not consume credits. Use the board ID returned here rather than re-listing: GET /v1/accounts/{accountId}/boards is served from a cache, so a just-created board may not appear in it yet.

The account’s Pinterest connection is no longer usable. Your API key is fine — this is not an authentication failure on Tailwind’s side, which is why it is not a 401. The account holder needs to reconnect Pinterest in Tailwind before this operation can succeed.

Pinterest did not respond before the request deadline. The operation may or may not have taken effect — re-read the account’s boards before retrying, since a blind retry after a create that did land produces a duplicate.
