How to pull Pinterest analytics via API
To get Pinterest analytics via API, connect Pinterest through Modiva, then call `analytics_unified` — it returns reach, impressions, engagement and follower metrics in one normalised shape you can chart or report on.
Every platform reports metrics differently, so cross-platform reporting usually means a mapping layer per network. Modiva's `analytics_unified` tool returns Pinterest metrics in the same schema as every other platform, so one query powers a whole dashboard.
Step by step
Create a Modiva account and MCP key
Sign up free and generate an MCP key (`mk_live_…`) from the dashboard. The same key authenticates both the hosted MCP server (for AI agents) and the REST API (for your backend), so you only manage one credential.
Connect your Pinterest account
From the dashboard, click Connect and choose Pinterest. Modiva runs the OAuth flow and requests the right scopes for you, then stores the access + refresh tokens in an encrypted vault and keeps them fresh — you never handle Pinterest's raw API credentials. The connection gets a stable `connectionId` you reference in every call.
Call analytics_unified for Pinterest metrics
Invoke `analytics_unified` with the connection ID, the metrics you want and a period. Modiva fetches them from Pinterest, normalises the field names and returns a consistent JSON shape ready to chart.
Roll up every platform into one report
Pass multiple connection IDs to combine Pinterest with the rest of your stack in a single response. Over MCP, an agent can pull the numbers and write the weekly report for you, then call `analytics_best_time_to_post` to plan the next one.
Example request
Call the analytics_unified tool through Modiva’s REST API. The same tool is available to AI agents over the MCP server at https://mcp.modiva.ai/v1.

Are Pinterest metrics comparable to other platforms?
Yes — Modiva normalises Pinterest analytics into a shared schema, so reach and engagement line up across every connected network.
Can an AI agent generate the report?
Yes. Expose `analytics_unified` over MCP and an agent can fetch Pinterest numbers and draft the summary on its own.
