Error message

pinterest pin

What it means

An EmptyResultError raised in clis/pinterest/pin.js:30 when the PinResource detailed fetch returns no pin or a pin without an id while looking up `pin <id>`. The command signals 'no data' (empty result) rather than a crash, with the message naming the command and the unresolved pin id.

Solutions

1. Verify the pin id and that the pin still exists by opening its /pin/<id>/ URL in a browser
2. If the pin belongs to another user and is private/deleted, it cannot be fetched — use a live pin id
3. Refresh session cookies / re-login if every lookup returns empty
4. Re-run the list command to get current, valid pin ids

Example fix

// before
$ opencli pinterest pin 0000000000001
// EmptyResultError: pinterest pin — pin "0000000000001" not found
// after (fetch a valid id first)
$ opencli pinterest board-pins me/ideas   # pick a live pinId
$ opencli pinterest pin <validPinId>

// pre-check with a cheap HEAD on the pin URL
const res = await fetch(`https://www.pinterest.com/pin/${pinId}/`, { method: 'HEAD' });
if (res.status >= 400) throw new Error(`Pin ${pinId} does not exist or is private`);

function isNonEmptyPin(pin) {
  return pin !== null && typeof pin === 'object' && typeof pin.id !== 'undefined';
}

try {
  const pin = await run(['pin', pinId]);
} catch (e) {
  if (/not found/.test(e.message)) {
    return null; // treat as missing pin, not a crash
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: `pin <id>` called with a nonexistent, already-deleted, or other-user's pin id; a malformed id; or the authenticated request returning empty due to invalid session cookies.

Common situations: Pinning an id from search results that was since deleted; typos or truncated ids copied from logs; viewing another account's pin while logged into a restricted/flagged account; expired cookies making all detailed lookups empty.

Understand the failure class

Background: 'Could not be found', 'does not exist', 'not found in database': the resource-not-found family when an ID, slug, key, or URI lookup comes back empty — this error's family across 20 libraries.
