What does this bot do?

This script allows you to upload as many Pins (150 in a row) as you want to Pinterest, all automatically and quickly (about 4 Pins per minute).
The upload limit on Pinterest is about 150 pins in a row. You can do multiple upload sessions in a day but risk having your account suspended.

Instructions:

Basic installation of Python for beginners:

• Download this repository or clone it:

git clone https://github.com/maximedrn/pinterest-automatic-uploader.git

• It requires Python 3.7 or a newest version.
• Install pip to be able to have needed Python modules.
• Open a command prompt in repository folder and type:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration of bot:

• Download and install Google Chrome.
• Download the ChromeDriver executable that is compatible with the actual version of your Google Chrome browser and your OS (Operating System). Refer to: What version of Google Chrome do I have?
• Extract the executable from the ZIP file and copy/paste it in the assets/ folder of the repository. You may need to change the path of the file:

    class Pinterest:
        """Main class of the Pinterest uploader."""

        def __init__(self, email: str, password: str) -> None:
            """Set path of used file and start webdriver."""
            self.email = email  # Pinterest email.
            self.password = password  # Pinterest password.
            self.webdriver_path = os.path.abspath('assets/chromedriver.exe')  # Edit this line with your path.
            self.driver = self.webdriver()  # Start new webdriver.
            self.login_url = 'https://www.pinterest.com/login/'
            self.upload_url = 'https://www.pinterest.com/pin-builder/'

• Optional: the email and the password are asked when you run the bot, but you can:
  • create and open the assets/email.txt file, and then write your Pinterest email;
  • create and open the assets/password.txt file, and then write your Pinterest password.
• Create your Pins data file containing all details of each Pin. It can be a JSON or CSV file. Save it in the data folder.
  What structure should the files have?

Known issues:

• If you are using a Linux distribution or MacOS, you may need to change some parts of the code:
  • ChromeDriver extension may need to be changed from .exe to something else.
• If you use a JSON file for your Pins data, the file path should not contain a unique "\". It can be a "/" or a "\\":

  "file_path": "C:/Users/Admin/Desktop/Pinterest/image.png",
  // or:
  "file_path": "C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\Pinterest\\image.png",
  // but not:
  "file_path": "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Pinterest\image.png", // You can see that "\" is highlighted in red.
