For an API you also need a proxy oAuth is just an authentication protocol for using a service without sharing credentials. It is easier for developers to monitor data coming in and out from an endpoint.
When you use computer vision you are blending in with everyone else.
Is it more difficult to do? Yes.
Is it more effective than an API in terms of speed and resources? No
Will it last longer than an API? Yes
Is the scalability good?No
If you are looking for stability computer vision should be the route for any bot maker. Thing is lots of bot makers just make it using API because they plan on selling it to users and therefore make money from that instead of the bot it self. Using an API would make it more easier to scale.
But if you want to use the bot yourself and use it for the service you want to bot then computer vision is the safest.
Thank you for your answers!!!! I'm interested how you handle these increasing issues with proxies? I hear from many people that social media sites getting more experienced with proxies like it happens with IG and sooner or later you can not keep your accounts alive, but with OAUTH (if I know correctly) you don't need proxy for running your accounts.

print Pin(cookies,header,advertiser,news)Thank you! Do you also use it with API key?

I am using the Pinterest api OAuth access for my custom scheduler, it works seamlessly, but if you try spamming it to death you still get your accounts banned just the same as any other access method....
Thank you for your answer KevinRB! What did you see as a challange during the application? Did you just request access for a scheduler or built an own website for it?

I am not a coder....I knew exactly what I wanted my scheduler to do so I found an applications integration company similar to Zapier that already had an OAuth verified licence, then paid one of their developers to create and integrate my scheduler for me....I currently have 500+ accounts on my scheduler and it works absolutely perfectly.
I know that good developers can do it and I'm also not a developer.
So you see that it's just matter of integration question or do I need to have some kind of official app? I also agree that I don't need to pin 1000s of pins to spam, just do quality. Your answer is very interesting, please let me know your thoughts what I need to be careful about when creating my scheduler. Thank you!!!

IF you want to go down the OAuth verification route then you either need to create and get approved your own application....or do as I did and find a company that already has the OAuth licence. Personally, I went the company route, as when I had tested personal applications previously they take months to get approved, if they get approval at all....also, I believe it is far safer to be a "small fish in a big pool" than a "big fish in a small pool"....far more likely that Pinterest could revoke your personal application licence.
In terms of my scheduler, it is based around Google Drive....ALL the ingredients are there, but it is the skills set you need to join the scheduler and the Pinterest application together....I knew what I wanted from it....just didn't have a bloody clue as to how to do it.
Thank you for your reply! Very interesting!
So if I understand well then your integration is more likely like Google Drive to a "Tool" which already has OAUTH access and the "Tool" is already integrated to Pinterest? Is my understanding correct? This way you are covered as many other users doing regular pinterest tasks with the given OAUTH...? Right?

Thank you for your reply! Very interesting!
a "tool" that links Google Drive to Pinterest OAuth = yes
rationale of "hiding" inamongst other Pinterest accounts using the same verified OAuth account = yes
Thank you KevinRB! One more thing, if you don't mind sharing.... How do you manage to add description to the pins... Is it somehow on google drive as well, or it's generated by the tool? Thanks!

Image url, descriptions + hashtags and source url are all inputted onto a Google Sheet, each account has it's own sheet, all the individual columns are then randomized each month so that the same descriptions/hashtags never appear on the same Pin more than once.
One more thing if you don't mind sharing. If you create such integration then you can officially have 1 account at whatever "Zappier" for the 500 accounts OR you need to have 500 accounts at "Zappier" OR there is a trick somewhere in the code like including a special Pinterest key or something? Thanks!
Hi Kevin. I've got one more thing. Do you use google drive as a source of the images or you use your redirect domain for these? Thank you!

Images are managed on my hosting accounts, under various website urls, then pulled through Google Drive to my scheduler for publishing....

I have a single USER account with my integration supplier, every account has it's own "token" generated by OAuth verification....so as far as Pinterest is concerned there are 500+ individual accounts without any visible links between them.
Thank you Kevin. But in this case when you add the users 1 by 1 then your IP is not hidden so Pinterest probably can see that you are using the same ip 500 times via the integration supplier. Isn't it a problem?
