Overview
This node operation allows you to create a new shopping catalog on Pinterest via the Pinterest API. It is part of a comprehensive Pinterest integration that supports various resources and operations, including pins, boards, users, advertising, analytics, engagement, business tools, search, and shopping catalogs.
Creating a catalog is useful for businesses or marketers who want to upload and manage product catalogs on Pinterest to enable shopping features such as product tagging and dynamic ads. For example, an e-commerce store can use this node to programmatically create a product catalog in CSV or JSON format, which can then be linked to their Pinterest business account for advertising and shopping campaigns.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Catalog Name | The name of the catalog to be created. |
| Catalog Format | The format of the catalog file. Options: TSV, CSV, XML, JSON. |
Output
The output of this operation is a JSON object representing the newly created catalog as returned by the Pinterest Shopping Catalogs API. This typically includes details such as the catalog ID, name, format, creation timestamps, and other metadata related to the catalog.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key credential for the external "N8N Tools" API service, which acts as a proxy or enhancer for Pinterest API v5.
- Requires OAuth2 authentication credentials for Pinterest API access.
- The node internally uses several API wrapper classes for different Pinterest resources; for creating a catalog, it uses the Shopping Catalogs API wrapper.
- Proper configuration of these credentials in n8n is necessary before using this node.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that your API key credential is correct and that your subscription to the external API service is active.
- Missing Required Parameters: Ensure that both "Catalog Name" and "Catalog Format" are provided, as they are required fields.
- API Rate Limits or Permissions: If the Pinterest API returns errors related to permissions or rate limits, check that your Pinterest OAuth2 credentials have the necessary scopes and that you are not exceeding usage limits.
- Network or Connectivity Issues: Errors during HTTP requests may indicate network problems; ensure your environment has internet access and can reach the external API endpoints.
