Tailwind API

Get post

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

Get a specific post by ID. A 404 means either that the account is unknown or is not yours — the two are deliberately indistinguishable, so that account IDs cannot be enumerated — or that the post itself does not exist. Deleting a post is a soft delete: it stays readable with status deleted for at least 28 days, after which it becomes eligible for automatic purge — eviction is asynchronous, so a deleted post may remain readable somewhat longer. Once purged it reads as a 404 like an ID that never existed.

post

id

Post ID

string
status

Post status. draft = saved in Tailwind only, not created on Pinterest; queued = scheduled; sent = published to Pinterest.

string
Allowed values: draft queued sent uploading failed missed
mediaUrl

URL of the media file

string
mediaType

Type of media

string
Allowed values: image video
carouselItems

Further images of a carousel Pin, in order after the cover in mediaUrl. Absent on a single-image Pin. Per-slide title, description and link are reported when the Pin carries them, but cannot be set through this API yet.

Array<object>
object
url

URL of this image

string
title

Per-slide title, when the Pin has one

string
description

Per-slide description, when the Pin has one

string
link

Per-slide destination, when the Pin has one

string

url

Destination URL

string

boardId

Target board ID

string
nullable
boardName

Name of the Board in boardId, as Tailwind last saw it when listing the account’s Boards. Returned by the get and list reads only; absent when the Pin has no Board or the Board has not been listed yet, such as one created moments ago.

string
boardSectionId

Section of boardId the Pin publishes into. Null when it publishes to the board root.

string
nullable
altText

Alt text for accessibility

string
nullable
sendAt

Scheduled send time (Unix timestamp)

integer
nullable
sentAt

Actual send time (Unix timestamp)

integer
nullable
createdAt

Creation time (Unix timestamp)

integer
pinId

Pinterest pin ID (only present after publishing). This is the id GET /v1/accounts/{accountId}/pins/{pinId}/analytics takes.

string
nullable
isSimplifiedPin

Whether this is a simplified pin (as opposed to a standard pin)

boolean
productTagPinIds

Pinterest product-catalog pin IDs tagged on the pin (business accounts only).

Array<string>
generationId

ID of the AI generation that produced this post, when Tailwind’s AI generated it from a URL (matches the id returned by POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/generations) or from a connected feed. Absent for posts created any other way. A draft with one is a generated draft waiting for review.

string
nullable
failureReason

Why a failed Pin did not publish, as a stable code such as board_not_found, expired_token or user_rate_limit. Present only when status is failed and Tailwind recorded a reason. New codes are added over time, so treat an unrecognized code as a generic failure.

string
failureMessage

A user-facing explanation of failureReason and what to do next, the same copy the Tailwind dashboard shows for a failed Pin. Present whenever failureReason is; a code with no specific copy gets a generic explanation.

string
message

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.
