Error message

Machine-readable denial reason. Present on PAYMENT_REQUIRED errors: insufficient_credits, trial_exhausted, no_access, account_not_connected, legacy_post_limit_exceeded.

string

resolve_url

Present on PAYMENT_REQUIRED errors: where the denial can be resolved. Reason-specific, because buying credits does not clear a trial, access or connection denial. Requests sent with X-Request-Source: mcp receive an informational plans page instead, so agent surfaces never present a purchase link.

403

Pinterest refused the operation. Distinct from a 422 reconnect: the account’s authorization is fine. The usual cause is a board the account collaborates on but does not own — those cannot be renamed, deleted or given sections.

422

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.
