App Purpose

PinQueue is a scheduling tool that lets creators and small brands queue Pinterest pins in bulk and publish them to their own boards on a chosen cadence, using the official Pinterest API.

In one paragraph

PinQueue lets a Pinterest user upload many pins at once, organize them across their boards, set a posting schedule, and let PinQueue publish them automatically through Pinterest's official API. After publishing, PinQueue surfaces basic engagement metrics (impressions, saves, clicks) for the pins it has scheduled, so the user can see what is working without leaving the app.

Who it's for

• Solo creators and bloggers who post pins regularly and want to batch the work.
• Small e-commerce brands using Pinterest as a discovery channel.
• Social-media managers handling a small portfolio of Pinterest accounts.

What the user can do

• Connect their Pinterest account through OAuth.
• Upload images or videos (or paste image URLs) and attach a title, description, destination link, and one or more boards.
• Pick a posting cadence (e.g. 3 pins/day, evenly spaced, in their time zone).
• Reorder, edit, pause, or delete queued pins before they go out.
• See per-pin performance for pins published through PinQueue.
• Disconnect at any time — PinQueue stops accessing Pinterest immediately and deletes the stored access token.

Pinterest API scopes used

PinQueue requests the minimum scopes required to do the job:

• boards:read — list the user's boards so they can pick where to post.
• pins:read — fetch metadata + analytics for pins PinQueue scheduled.
• pins:write — create new pins on the user's behalf at the scheduled time.
• user_accounts:read — show the connected username + profile image inside PinQueue.

No other scopes are requested. PinQueue does not read pins it did not create, does not access other users' accounts, and does not modify boards.

How it's built

• Web app served over HTTPS via Cloudflare.
• OAuth 2.0 with Pinterest as the identity provider for connection.
• Server-side scheduler that calls Pinterest API v5 endpoints at the user's chosen times.
• Encrypted storage for OAuth refresh tokens.

What PinQueue does not do

• It does not scrape Pinterest. All access goes through the official API.
• It does not auto-follow, auto-like, or auto-comment.
• It does not resell, syndicate, or expose user pins to third parties.
• It does not use user content to train AI models.
