title: How to obtain Pinterest V3 API-KEY or access_token
body: <p>I am trying to fetch Pinterest data, which would be the public info of the user(follower count etc), and all pins for a user.</p>
  
  <p>I know the v3 API are up now and v2 apis have been taken down.</p>
  
  <p>I found this link which gives me end points for exactly what I want:</p>

  <p>But I am unable to get an access_token. I have asked pinterest for api access but they have not replied. And I am unable to sniff app data too.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried Pinterest's signature tester tool which is on their website but no luck. The link it generates doesn't work either. It returns a authorization failure.</p>

  <p>I have access to APP-ID and Client-Secret. I need to know how can I get an access token/ API-KEY to get the following work fine for me:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://api.pinterest.com/v3/users/jessicamalba/?access_token=APIKEY" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://api.pinterest.com/v3/users/jessicamalba/?access_token=APIKEY</a></p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>Before I am told that is an duplicate of</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12870416/how-to-get-access-token-for-access-pinterest-api?rq=1">How to get access token for access Pinterest Api</a></p>
  
  <p>I would just say that it is not. This question was asked one year ago and was asked in respect to V2 api. Which now return a <code>404</code> status. So now here I am asking about the V3 api.</p>
