Pinterest Organic connection guide

Follow these steps to connect your Pinterest Organic data to Supermetrics and use your data in any of our data destinations — Google Sheets, Looker Studio, Excel, data warehouses, and Power BI, as well as the Supermetrics API. You can also connect to data sources from the Supermetrics Hub.


You can share your data source connection with your team and use the connection across all data destinations you use with Supermetrics. Learn more about shared connections.


Before you begin

Note

We released a new version of the Pinterest Organic data source connector on June 1, 2023, with some changes to the authentication process. Learn more about authentication for the new Pinterest Organic data source connector.

To connect to Pinterest Organic, you need a Pinterest business account and an ad account.

With a Pinterest business account and ad account, you can fetch organic data for your own Pinterest profile. Before starting the connection process in Supermetrics, make sure that you're logged into a Pinterest business account in your web browser and not a personal Pinterest account.


Important about authentication

When authenticating, if you receive an error saying We did not find any accounts, please make sure you have created an ad account for your Pinterest business account.

Employee and Partner access

To fetch organic data for another Pinterest account, you must be added as an Employee or Partner to their business account and have at least Analyst access to one of their ad account.
