Getting invites from boards in bulk about py3-pinterest HOT 4 CLOSED

Never tested that, if you do to many requests from one ip the account will be locked for 24 hours.
You need to use proxies, as for the max limit of invites there is no official data

from py3-pinterest.

How would I even begin to write the command though?

from py3-pinterest.

You need two things before you can start inviting.

1. Board data for the board you will invite people to.
2. List of users you want to invite

The board can be obtained in the following way.

boards = []
board_batch = pinterest.boards()
while len(board_batch) > 0:
    boards += board_batch
    board_batch = pinterest.boards()

board = boards[0]

In this case I picked the first board but you can pick any you like.

Next we need a list of user id to invite.
You can do this in many ways, I would do it using the search method.
Due to recent changes in the pinterest api, you can't search directly for users, instead you have to search for pins or boards and from there extract owners and pinners.
Here is a example code for the pins case:

results = []
max_results = 100
search_batch = pinterest.search(scope='boards', query='food', page_size=50)
while len(search_batch) > 0 and len(results) < max_results:
    results += search_batch
    pinterest.search(scope='pins', query='food', page_size=50)

target_users = []
for s in results:
    target_users.append(s['owner'])

Now in target users you have a list of size 'max_results' with users.
You can specify different query.
If you have other means of extracting user ids that is ok you just need python array with ids.

The final step is to invite the users which is straight forward:

for user in target_users:
    pinterest.invite(board_id=board['id'], board_url=board['url'], user_id=user['id'])

I found problems with the documentation and examples.py related to this issue which I will update.

I committed a file with the full code
