Update board

PATCH
/v1/accounts/{accountId}/boards/{boardId}
curl --request PATCH \
  --url https://api-v1.tailwind.ai/v1/accounts/example/boards/example \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "name": "example", "description": "example" }'

Rename a board or change its description. Supply at least one of name or description. Privacy cannot be changed here — switching a public board to secret would delist every Pin on it.

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.

403

Section titled “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

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.

502

Section titled “502”

Pinterest failed the request with an error of its own. A create may still have taken effect, so list Boards or sections before repeating one; other requests can be retried. If the same request keeps failing, Pinterest is refusing it rather than having an outage.

503

Section titled “503”

Pinterest rate-limited the request. Pinterest refused it before acting, so nothing was changed. Distinct from a 429, which means the organization’s shared daily request limit — retry this request in a few minutes rather than backing off across the API.

504

Section titled “504”

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.
