iOS application integration with pinterest [closed]

Answer 1

If you only want to share(i.e. pin on a user board), then you can use iphone-URL-Scheme and call the Pinterest application along with the parameters url(URL of the page to pin), media(URL of the image to pin) & description(Description of the page to be pinned). Present a UIAlertView and forward them to appstore to download the official Pinterest application if the user has not installed it.

Code to open Pinterest Applicaiton:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"pinit12://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?url=URL-OF-THE-PAGE-TO-PIN&media=URL-OF-THE-IMAGE-TO-PIN&description=ENTER-YOUR-DESCRIPTION-FOR-THE-PIN"];
if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:url]) {
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
}else {
    UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Pinterest" message:@"Would you like to download Pinterest Application to share?" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"Continue", nil];
    [alert show];
}

UIAlertViewDelegate Method

- (void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
    if (buttonIndex == 1){
        NSString *stringURL = @"http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pinterest/id429047995?mt=8";
        NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
    }
