But I am unable to get an access_token. I have asked pinterest for api access but they have not replied. And I am unable to sniff app data too.
I also tried Pinterest's signature tester tool which is on their website but no luck. The link it generates doesn't work either. It returns a authorization failure.
I would just say that it is not. This question was asked one year ago and was asked in respect to V2 api. Which now return a 404 status. So now here I am asking about the V3 api.

To preface, I saw some discussion that even though you can get the token, it may not work unless you are an approved developer. So you might consider applying to be an API developer while you wait to try to work all this out. Also V3 is beta, so.. This answer might work for now however, it may not work later if it ends up not being the official way to get the token when it comes out of beta.
Step one: Log into pinterest then you need to create an application on the https://developers.pinterest.com/manage/ link which you can also get from the main developers page on pinterest. I chose to create IOS application, even though I don't plan to use this with IOS, just so I could get an application created to try to make the API work.
Part of the creation of the app, asks you to specify a callback url, this is the url on your website that is going to receive the token & token related data in a hash tag {I presume they did this so that only javascript can get at it rather than php directly} however you could modify the hashtag in javascript to drop the hash and redirect it to another url which can collect it as get or post params.
Once created replace the application id "1412345" (i.e. consumer_id, also sometimes called client_id) into the url below.
What I have seen is this number starts with 14...... at present
Step two: The executed url above will bring you to a page asking you to authorize the application to access your user account. Once you authorize it it will send the token back to your website. in the hash tag and you can use javascript to read the hashtag
window.location.hash.substr(1, window.location.hash.length) will get you the get params string from the hash tag containing access_token, expires_at (duration in seconds which equals 30 days) and token_type which will equal "bearer"
Note the token will be base_64 encoded, I don't know if it's supposed to stay that way to be used but I presume so.

Okay, so as of today, following are the parts of the api that are public and used by widgets.
