Pinterest Agent — Pins, Boards & Video from OpenClaw

Pinterest drives long-tail traffic for months after a pin goes live. This skill lets your OpenClaw agent manage your Pinterest presence automatically — creating boards, pinning images and videos, and maintaining a consistent posting cadence without touching the browser. No schedulers, no middleware, no third-party accounts. Your agent posts directly to the platform.

What it does

• Boards — list, create, and delete boards
• Image pins — create pins from local files or remote URLs (Pinterest natively accepts base64 — no hosting bridge needed)
• Video pins — upload local MP4s with cover image, polls until processing completes
• List & delete — view and clean up existing pins
• Token management — OAuth PKCE flow, auto-refresh (access token 30 days, refresh token 1 year rolling)
• Zero external dependencies — pure Python 3 stdlib, nothing to pip install

Why This Is Better

Most Pinterest tools require a paid scheduler or a third-party app with its own approval flow. This skill talks directly to the Pinterest API v5. Trial Access is granted immediately — no Standard Access review needed for posting to your own account.
