OmniAuth Pinterest

This gem contains the OmniAuth strategy for authenticating to Pinterest.

Preparation

1. Register and sign into the Pinterest developer center
2. Create an application and note the App ID and the App secret
3. Make sure that you have already installed OmniAuth into your application. Otherwise check out the installation details and the documentation.

Installation

Add this gem to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'omniauth-pinterest2'

Execute the bundle command to install the gem.

Next, tell OmniAuth about the Pinterest provider. For a Ruby on Rails application, your config/initializers/omniauth.rb file should look like:

Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :pinterest, ENV['PINTEREST_APP_ID'], ENV['PINTEREST_APP_SECRET'], scope: 'read_public, write_public', redirect_uri: "https://mysite.com/auth/pinterest/callback"
end

After restarting your application, point the authenticating user to /auth/pinterest, the rest will be handled by OmniAuth.

Authentication hash

Here's an example authentication hash available in request.env['omniauth.auth']:

{
  :provider => 'pinterest',
  :uid => '1234',
  :info => {
    :id => "1234",
    :url => "https://www.pinterest.com/jane_doe/",
    :first_name => "Jane",
    :last_name => "Doe"
  }
}
