# Set the default Pinterest board for publishes

`PATCH /v1/accounts/{id}/pinterest/default-board`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.letmepost.dev`
- URL: `https://api.letmepost.dev/v1/accounts/{id}/pinterest/default-board`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Persists the supplied `boardId` as the account's default — used when a `POST /v1/posts` body omits `options.boardId` for a Pinterest target. The board is validated against the account's own boards list before persisting.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- object
  - `boardId` string, required

## Response `200`

Default board updated.

- object
  - `id` string, required
  - `defaultBoardId` string, nullable
  - `defaultBoardName` string, nullable

## Other responses

- `400`: `validation_failed` — request body or query parameters didn't match the schema. Rules surfaced include `body.json`, `targets.required`, `targets.max`, `mode_conflict`, `targets.options.platform_mismatch`, `targets.account.platform_mismatch`, `target.account.not_connected`, `target.account.ambiguous`, `scheduledAt.future`, `scheduledAt.no_first_comment`, `scheduledAt.no_bluesky_reply`.
- `401`: `unauthenticated` — missing or invalid Bearer key.
- `404`: `not_found` — the resource does not exist in the caller's organization (or, for profile-scoped keys, in the caller's profile).
- `429`: `rate_limited` — too many requests. Inspect `X-RateLimit-Limit` (static ceiling) and the IETF-draft `RateLimit-*` headers (sliding-window remaining/reset) before retrying.
- `502`: `platform_auth_failed`, `platform_rejected`, `platform_unavailable`, or `platform_not_enabled` — the upstream platform refused the call. `platformResponse` carries the raw upstream payload when available.
