Pindown

Pindown is an unofficial Pinterest board downloader written in PHP. It fetches all pins from a target board (at the highest possible resolution) and displays it in a page, which can then be downloaded by a browser.

Pin description are stored in the 'title' attribute in the image.

Usage

1. Open page with the fields (board, token) supplied. (e.g. /pindown.php?board=yourBoardId&token=yourAccessToken )
2. Save the page the way you like it (Usually with your browser's "Save as..")

Obtaining Board ID

1. Open http://pinterest.com/ (Ensure that you are already logged in)
2. View source and search for <div class="BoardList">
3. You should see <li data="000000000000000000"> and your board name(s) below in a <span>
4. The numbers in the data="000000000000000000" is the Board ID

Obtaining Access Token

As Pinterest does not have a public API, there is no way (yet?) to generate an access token. To obtain my token, I set up a man-in-the-middle attack on the iOS Pinterest Client using Fiddler2 and iOS-SSL-Killswitch. When successful, you should be able to see the token access_token in the query string when the Pinterest Client makes a request.
