title: Pinterest API and Rate Limiting
body: <p>I have a question about the Pinterest API and it's rate limiting. On Pinterest's Site it states: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Each app (with a unique app ID) is allowed 1000 calls per endpoint per hour for each unique user token. The 60-minute window is a sliding window based on when you make your first request. If you hit your rate limit, you’ll only have to wait a max of 1 hour to get a few more requests.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've never worked with Pinterest API, but based on what that says, I could authenticate a user and then that user is allowed up to 1000 calls to the API per 1 hour - correct?</p>
  
  <p>I've gotten many requests from a community of users on Facebook to build a web based application utilizing the API. But in order for me to do so, I have to be able to balance the API calls some. So clarifications as to the rate limits for Pinterest would help.</p>
