Posting on pinterest through RoR

In last blog we have implemented pinterest authentication. Now, we will implement posting on pinterest.

2.) We will do post on pinterest with pinterest-api gem 

So, in Gemfile -

gem 'pinterest-api'

run bundle

From last blog we can get token from pinterest_callback with the help of this method we can initialize the client for pinterest api-

In Model pinterest.rb -

def initialize_pinterest_client
  @client = Pinterest::Client.new(token) #Get token from pinterest authentication.
end

For posting on pintesert we have to create pinterest board.

def create_pinterset_board(board_name)
  @client = initialize_pinterest_client
  board_id = @client.create_board({name: board_name}).data.id
end

Now, we can create pin on pinterest -

def post_to_pinterest(product)
  @client = initialize_pinterest_client
  @client.create_pin({board: board_id, note: post_name, link: url, image_url: image_url})
end
