Get post image

GET

/v1/accounts/{accountId}/posts/{postId}/image

curl --request GET \
  --url https://api-v1.tailwind.ai/v1/accounts/example/posts/example/image \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

The picture a Pin shows, as raw image bytes: the cover image of an image or carousel Pin, or a video Pin’s cover (never the video itself). A video on Tailwind’s CDN with no saved cover returns its first-second frame. Images on Tailwind’s CDN come back resized to 1000px wide. The response’s Content-Type is the image’s real format (JPEG, PNG, GIF or WebP), whatever the host declared. Use it when you cannot fetch the post’s mediaUrl yourself. Every fetch failure message names the image’s URL (the post’s mediaUrl for an image Pin) so you can try it directly: a 422 means the image is over 4MB or the video Pin has no cover image, and a 502 means the image’s host refused or failed the fetch. A 404 means either that the account is unknown or is not yours, or that the post does not exist.

Error message

string

reason

Machine-readable reason. On PAYMENT_REQUIRED errors it is the denial reason: insufficient_credits, trial_exhausted, no_access, account_not_connected, legacy_post_limit_exceeded. Other errors may carry an operation-specific reason, such as pinterest_reconnect_required, pinterest_rate_limited, pinterest_timeout, pinterest_request_failed or list_boards_upstream_failed; each operation’s documented error responses show the values it returns. Branch on reason rather than parsing message.

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.
