Intro
Pinterest Ads help you get your products and content in front of more people as they search, browse and discover on Pinterest. Use Domo's Pinterest Ads connector to retrieve delivery metrics and object information for your Pinterest Ads account. To learn more about the Pinterest API, visit their page (https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/getting-started/introduction/?).
You connect to your Pinterest account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Pinterest Ads connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites
To connect to your Pinterest account and create a DataSet, you must have credentials for the account (the email address you use to log into Pinterest and your Pinterest password) OR Facebook or Google credentials.
Connecting to your Pinterest account
This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Pinterest Ads Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Credentials pane
The Domo Pinterest Ads connector uses OAuth to connect, so there is no need to enter credentials within Domo. Click Connect (or select Add Account if you have existing Pinterest Ads accounts in Domo) to open the Pinterest OAuth screen where you can enter your Pinterest credentials. Once you have entered valid Pinterest credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Pinterest Ads DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
Details Pane
This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.

How often can the data be updated?
DataSets should be set to update once a day.
Are there any API limits I should be aware of?
Pinterest allows up to 1000 API requests for a user per hour. A single dataset run may need to make multiple requests.
