Hi I never explored this feature, I just noticed that there is such thing.

Can you elaborate more on the exact functionalities you would expect for the client to support, like create section, delete section etc.

Thanks

Hi,
I would like to create a section, get the sections from a board, and also get the files from a section.
If you are able to make it, it would be great.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Great work!! it seems to be working, I was able to get all the sections from a board, and also I was able to create a new section.
But, I was not able to get the list of pins from a section, is it possible?
Thanks,

The get_boards function response contains this data.

I didn't have to.change anything there, just wasn't aware of these sections

from py3-pinterest.

with the get_boards I'm able to access to the list of sections, without issues.
Then, is it possible to get the list of pins for a section? or at least the section name on a pin? I checked and I don't think it is there.

Hi sorry you are right, to get the pins from a section you need to call
pinterest.get_board_sections(board_id=board_id)
in the response there is preview_pins array, but it seems it is limited to 10 pins.

I missed that limitation when testing, it seems there is separate endpoint which should be called to retrieve all pins from a section, I will add that and let you know.

Thanks

One more thing, the load_pin function response has information about the section, but it seems there is some change in the pinterest API and it is now broken, but it is a small change.
But I think calling the load_pin endpoint for each pin is a bit of a overkill and you might even get suspended.

I will work on resolving these

Hey, I was not able to find a "clean" way to retrieve the section feed. so I ended up parsing the whole html page.

So for example if I want to list pins from my section 'heels':
https://www.pinterest.com/cocococoho/s-h-o-e-s/heels/

I can now do it like this:

username = 'cocococoho'
board_name = 's-h-o-e-s'
section_name = 'heels'
data = pinterest.get_section_pins(username=username, board_name=board_name, section_name=section_name)

This can load any section in fact. If you see a way to improve this just let me know, or even better create a PR :)
