Unschedule post

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

Move a scheduled (queued) Pin back to draft, for example to revise a time-sensitive Pin before it publishes. The Pin keeps its postId and everything stored on it: media, title, description, destination url, board and board section, alt text, product tags and carousel images. Only its status and scheduled time change, so the returned Pin has status draft and no sendAt. Works on any queued Pin on the account, including one created in the Tailwind dashboard and a missed Pin whose scheduled time has already passed. Any pin_schedule credit charged for putting the Pin on the schedule is returned, as in the Tailwind dashboard; a Pin scheduled on a free-trial allowance, scheduled in an earlier billing period, or on a legacy or Shopify plan has nothing to return. Scheduling the draft again with POST /v1/accounts/{accountId}/posts/{postId}/schedule charges again. A Pin that is not queued is rejected with a 400: post_already_published for a Pin that has been published or is publishing now (edit or delete it in the Pinterest app), and post_not_queued for drafts, failed and deleted Pins. A 409 means the Pin’s status changed while it was being unscheduled, or the account’s schedule was busy; nothing was changed, so read the Pin back with GET before retrying.

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>

url

URL of this image

boardId

Target board ID

string
nullable
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.

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.
