People are connecting to the api endpoints as the iPhone user agent, which is available to the iOS app</p> <p><strong>Update Apr 17, 2012</strong> Thanks to tijn, we have <a href="http://tijn.bo.lt/pinterest-api" rel="nofollow noreferrer">unofficial version 1(now v2) Pinterest api docs</a>, and reports that only read endpoints are currently available so RSS style feeds are possible within rate limits.</p> <p><strong>Update Apr 3, 2012</strong> The unofficial Facebook group has some quality info on it and several people asking questions and posting fairly useful responses </p>
