I've been trying to get the pinterest api working on my project but I keep running into an issue with the redirect_uri. This is the error message I am getting.

{
    status : "failure",
    code : 7,
    host : "coreapp-ngapi-prod-0a018ab7",
    generated_at : "Sat, 15 Apr 2017 00:45:16 +0000",
    message : "You are not permitted to access that resource.",
    data : "The provided redirect_uri https://example.com/complete/pinterest/ does not match any of the registered redirect URIs."
}

I am running my site on https. I have https://example.com/ set as the site URL and https://example.com/complete/pinterest/ in the redirect uri (I've make sure to enter that so it's in the list, and save the page)

What could I be doing wrong?

  • Have you tried not adding the path to the redirect list, also have you verified spelling? – Mohammad Ali Apr 15 '17 at 01:54
  • I've tried removing the redirect path as well as double checking all the spellings of everything. I've also tried removing the railing slash on the urls/ – Reimus Klinsman Apr 17 '17 at 17:53
  • If you're sure you've registered it correctly and using https then try contacting Pinterest support – Mohammad Ali Apr 17 '17 at 17:58
  • Oh, hot damn. It looked like pinterest wasn't actually saving my changes to the redirect uri. I would make a change, hit save, and occationally reload the page which would still show the changes I'm making but would never work. I later left that page to look at some of the docs, then returned to find that no changes were ever actually saved. Now redoing all that, it works. I live across the street from 3 pinterest offices so they'll be getting some frowny faces whenever I walk by to work. – Reimus Klinsman Apr 17 '17 at 18:17

    Im not sure if it was a weird fluke with pinterest, but their save button wasn't actually working. When leaving the developer page and re-entering, I found that no changes were saved during that session. – Reimus Klinsman Apr 17 '17 at 18:57

When you add a new Redirect URL on the Pinterest Developer board, you have to be sure that:

  • it is an HTTPS URL

  • it is correctly spelled

  • and VERY IMPORTANT: remember to press the ENTER key when you have finished to write the Redirect URL. The newly inserted URL will then appear under the text field and the classical "you have unsaved changes" will appear.

  • Click on the "Save" button and you are done.

Hope it helps.
