Invalid Parameters

GlennIM opened this issue 5 years ago · 10 comments

I have been using your wonderful library for months now with no problems. But now every time I call the function below, PinSharp throws and "Invalid Parameters" Exception. What is wrong?

await pinSharpClient.Pins.CreatePinAsync()

Here are the values I'm passing to it...

BoardID = "469289292360076140"

Looks like the Creator field has now been deprecated - https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/api/boards/

Answer 2 · 2019-10-30T14:06:04.000Z

Can you fix PinSharp to account for this?

Answer 3 · 2019-10-30T16:15:00.000Z

I've removed the 'creator' property and pushed it to NuGet as version 2.3.0.

I haven't tested it so please let me know if it works.

Answer 4 · 2019-10-30T16:48:55.000Z

Installed 2.3.0 and still get the same exception... "Invalid Parameters"

Exception thrown: 'PinSharp.Api.Exceptions.PinSharpBadRequestException' in mscorlib.dll

-Please advise

Could you please also post the values of Message and ResponseContent properties from the exception?

Answer 6 · 2019-10-30T20:30:03.000Z

Message: "Invalid parameters."
ResponseContent: "{"message": "Invalid parameters.", "type": "api", "param": "creator"}"
RequestUrl: "https://api.pinterest.com/v1/pins/?fields=id,url,link,note,attribution,original_link,color,board,counts,created_at,creator(id,url,first_name,last_name,username,image),image,media,metadata"

I rebuilt my project and make sure it's version 2.3.0 of PinSharp

Answer 7 · 2019-10-31T08:00:43.000Z

I've published a new version removing some leftover references to the 'creator' field (putting it in the request URL) which should fix the issue.

EXCELLENT Soren...

Works again. Thank you VERY Much.

I'm planning on using your wonderful library in other projects because it seems to be the only C# wrapper for the Pinterest API and is VERY well designed. If I or others encounter issues or problems in the future, will you be able to address them going forward?

Also, do you know if it's possible at all to use only 1 Pinterest App for multiple Pinterest Accounts?

Answer 9 · 2019-10-31T15:58:50.000Z

Good to hear. No, I don't think you can use 1 app for multiple accounts.

I'll most likely be able to help with any bugs in the future, but it will not always be my highest priority as I'm not using this myself and it's free.

Answer 10 · 2019-10-31T16:04:53.000Z

Thanks Soren,

I'f I find a problem in the future and you don't have the time to address it, can I install your solution/project in my application and find and make the changes to get it working again? How complex is your code?

Thanks, Glenn
