List of boards

Media typeapplication/json
object
data
object
boards
Array<object>

A board as returned by the cached list endpoint. The write endpoints return a ManagedBoard instead — reads and writes reach Pinterest by different paths and carry different fields.

object
id

Board ID

string
name

Board name

string
description

Board description, or null when the board has none

string
nullable
followerCount

Number of accounts following the board

integer
isCollaborator

Whether the user is a collaborator

boolean
isSecret

Whether the board is secret

boolean
pinCount

Number of Pins on the board, from a cached snapshot that can lag behind Pinterest. Treat it as a lower bound before DELETE, which destroys every Pin actually on the board.

integer
pinsModifiedAt

When Pinterest last recorded a change to the Pins on the board (Pinterest’s board_pins_modified_at), as an ISO 8601 timestamp. Pinterest does not document which changes move it, so read it as a last-activity date for finding boards that have gone quiet, not as the date of the newest Pin. Null when unavailable.

400

The account is not connected to Pinterest. The account holder needs to reconnect it in Tailwind before its boards can be listed.

Error code

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.

422

Section titled “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.
