Overview
The "Share Pin" operation in the Pinterest Enhanced node allows users to share a specific Pinterest pin on various platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Email, or by generating a link or embed code. This operation is useful for automating the distribution of Pinterest content across social media channels, email campaigns, or embedding pins into websites or blogs.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically sharing newly created or updated pins to social media platforms.
- Sending pins via email as part of marketing workflows.
- Generating shareable links or embed codes for pins to be used in external content.

Output
The output JSON contains the response from the Pinterest API related to the share action performed on the specified pin. This typically includes confirmation details about the share operation, such as success status and any metadata returned by the API.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key for the external N8N Tools API service that validates usage.
- Requires Pinterest API credentials with appropriate permissions.
- The node uses multiple internal API wrapper classes to interact with Pinterest services.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond standard credential setup.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correct and has an active subscription.
- Permission Errors: Sharing pins may require specific Pinterest account permissions; ensure the connected Pinterest account has rights to share the specified pin.
- Unsupported Platforms: Ensure the selected share platform is one of the supported options (Facebook, Twitter, Email, Link, Embed).
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the external API endpoints can cause failures; check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
- Continue On Fail Behavior: If enabled, errors for individual items will be captured in the output instead of stopping execution.
