A simple Heroku application that acts as a proxy to Pinterest feeds. It parses each item in the feed and updates the embedded image by changing the thumbinail to the original size image.
This is useful together with IFTTT or other automation tools when generating content (e.g. tweets) based on a Pinterest feed. You can auto-post the original size images from Pinterest as Twitter images.
Click the button below to deploy this application to Heroku. Heroku will host it for you for free, as long as you don't use it more than 18 hours a day (this is a soft limit). If you want to use it in 24/7, it'll cost you $7/month.
Recently I was getting a lot of traffic, so I'd kindly ask everyone to deploy this app for themselves. I will shut down my app soon.
The API is simple (replace pinfeed with your Heroku app name):
- Use
https://pinfeed.herokuapp.com/attilaolah
to get the feed for userattilaolah
. This will usehttps://www.pinterest.com/attilaolah/feed.rss
as the source. - Use
https://pinfeed.herokuapp.com/attilaolah/for-the-home
to get the feed for the specific pin board. This will usehttps://www.pinterest.com/attilaolah/for-the-home.rss
as the source. - The trailing
.rss
is optional.https://pinfeed.herokuapp.com/user.rss
is the same ashttps://pinfeed.herokuapp.com/user
.
