Use cases for the Pinterest Pin Generator API

The Pinterest Pin template is the shortest path to a working pinterest pin generator api from your stack. Send a small JSON payload, get back a tested PNG that fits your brand. No browser, no headless Chrome wrangling, no design tooling on your side.

Common reasons people reach for this template:

  • Listicle and roundup pins
  • Recipe and how-to pins
  • Affiliate and product round-ups

How it works

1

Send a JSON payload

POST to the template endpoint with the values you want rendered. Authenticate with your API key.

2

We render the image

The template is rendered server-side as a 1200x630 PNG (or whatever dimensions the template defines).

3

You get back a URL

The response includes a CDN URL for the PNG. Cache it, embed it, attach it to a tweet, anything you need.

Quick example

A single cURL call to render a Pinterest Pin as a PNG:

curl -X POST https://app.html2img.com/api/v1/templates/pinterest-pin \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"title":"15 cozy reading nooks for tiny apartments","subtitle":"Maximize every square foot with these layouts.","eyebrow":"HOME GUIDE","site_name":"smallspaces.co","background_image_url":"https://picsum.photos/seed/pinterest-pin/1000/1500","background_color":"#FFF7ED","accent_color":"#E11D48"}'
