The API provides these brands access to the top pins from their domain, currently trending images on their site, their top domain search results, the most recently pinned items from their site and pins related to what a user is currently looking at. These widgets also provide brands with knowledge to what&#8217;s resonating with pinners, so they can better curate content both <em>on and off<\/em> of Pinterest making a experience better for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.6; font-size: 1.3rem;\">What the API means for third-party apps (like Tailwind).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the announcement of Pinterest&#8217;s very first API doesn&#8217;t directly affect third party apps (like us) at the moment, there are many positive implications for the future. The release of the Pinterest API to high quality brands proves that the already amazing ecosystem built around the platform is continuing to grow. For now, we&#8217;re just excited for continued announcements and to see the impact of initial tests of the Pinterest API.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.6; font-size: 1.3rem;\">What the API means for Pinterest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The release of Pinterest&#8217;s very first API is obviously very big news for Pinterest. While they have had other major releases recently, like <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/how-to-make-rich-article-pins\">rich pins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tailwindapp.com\/blog\/related-pins-pinterest-strategy\">related pins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.pinterest.com\/post\/61688351103\/planning-for-the-future\">promoted pins<\/a>, this is the first announcement that brings pins <em><strong>off<\/strong><\/em> of Pinterest. Soon, we will being seeing pins all around the Internet &#8211; not only on Pinterest. Because the widgets are powered by Pinterest&#8217;s API, the pins are constantly refreshed and up-to-date, providing real time results for the brands they&#8217;re working with. Although\u00a0some may say they&#8217;re slow to join the API game, they&#8217;re really just incredibly smart and deliberate in their roll out. With each new release, they are building to something bigger and better than they were before, making the experience enjoyable for pinners and marketers alike.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What the API means for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the release of Pinterest&#8217;s API doesn&#8217;t directly affect most pinners, it is the start of a better and more controlled off-site pinning experience. Content on these sites will be propelled by what <em>you<\/em> are interested in and by what <em>you<\/em> are pinning. Whether you&#8217;re seeing suggested pins or seeing top trending pins, those metics are set by <strong><em>you<\/em><\/strong> thanks to Pinterest.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>What&#8217;s your take on Pinterest&#8217;s API?
