Explanation: The credentials used to connect your Pinterest account are missing or no longer valid. This usually happens when your authorisation has expired, your password has been changed, or access to Hurree has been revoked from within your Pinterest account.

How to solve: Reconnect your Pinterest account through Hurree to restore access. Once reconnected, your widgets will begin updating again from the next scheduled sync.

Explanation: Your account does not have the permissions required to access this Pinterest resource. This can occur if your access to the business account has changed, permissions have been revoked, or you have not been granted the appropriate level of access within Pinterest.

How to solve: Review your Pinterest account permissions, or contact your account administrator and ask them to review your access to the relevant business account. Once the required access has been granted, refresh your connection and try retrieving the data again.

Explanation: The requested Pinterest resource could not be located. This may occur if a board, Pin, or other resource has been deleted or moved within Pinterest, or if the reference is incorrect.

How to solve: Review the relevant Pinterest account and verify that the resource still exists, then try again. If it has been removed, you may need to update your widget settings or select an alternative data source.

Explanation: The request was understood but could not be completed due to invalid or conflicting data. This usually means a setting or value being sent to Pinterest isn't in the format Pinterest expects.

How to solve: Review your integration settings for any incorrect entries and try again. If the error persists, please contact our support team for assistance.

Explanation: Your account has reached the maximum number of requests permitted within a given period. This is most often triggered when a large volume of data is requested at once.

How to solve: Wait a moment before trying again; your access will resume automatically once the rate limit window resets. If you see this error frequently, consider reducing the number of Pinterest widgets refreshing at the same time.

Explanation: An unexpected error occurred on Pinterest's servers. This is not caused by any action on your part, and as the issue originates within Pinterest's infrastructure, it is outside of our control.

How to solve: Internal server errors are typically temporary and often resolve automatically. Wait a moment and try again, or check your widget after the next scheduled sync period. If the error persists after multiple sync attempts, please contact our support team for assistance.

Explanation: You may occasionally see 400: Bad Request. This indicates that one or more elements of the request sent to Pinterest were invalid or incorrectly formatted; these are typically handled automatically and are rarely caused by anything on your side.

How to solve: Review your integration settings for any incorrect entries and try again. If this error persists, please contact our support team with the error name you're seeing, and we'll investigate.
