Generate OAuth access token

Generate a new OAuth access token using an authorization code; or refresh an existing one using a continuous refresh token.

Follow the complete steps for <a href='/docs/getting-started/set-up-authentication-and-authorization/' target='blank'>requesting and refreshing tokens</a>.

<strong>Note:</strong> If your app was created <strong>before September 25, 2025</strong>, make sure to set the <code>continuous_refresh</code> parameter to <code>true</code> to use the continuous refresh token (60-day expiration, refreshable indefinitely). Pinterest no longer supports the legacy refresh token (365-day expiration, hard limit).

Disregard this note if your app was activated on or after September 25, 2025. You are automatically using the continuous refresh token.

Use <a href='/docs/developer-tools/token-debugger/' target='blank'>Token Debugger</a> to validate and inspect your access token.
