Pinterest API-在Dreamhost服务器上请求访问令牌时出现403错误

Question

I'm using this php wrapper , successfully getting a code from pinterest using the link generated according to the docs:

$loginurl = $pinterest->auth->getLoginUrl($callback_url, array('read_public'));

Then when I run this:

$token = $pinterest->auth->getOAuthToken($_GET['code']);

It works fine on my local server, but when I try to run it on our Dreamhost server, I get:

Pinterest error (code: 403) with message: Forbidden

I looked through the error documentation Pinterest supplies, but I can't find anything relating to 403 errors when retrieving oauth tokens.

The only two places I've seen mention of 403 errors when requesting oauth tokens from Pinterest's API have concluded that Pinterest is blocking the ips or the user agent string .

I've tried manually overriding the user agent string to no avail.

I've tried contacting Pinterest to find out if there is anything I'm missing and they directed me here.

Answer 1

Make sure the Dreamhost server is using an HTTPS URL eg is using TLS. That could be the reason why you get a 403.
