Unable to see Comments array data in Pin array

[ltiwana]

I was able to see the comments array in pins array, but it seems it isn't displayed anymore.

Array

(
     [bookmark] => LT42OTM4Mzg1NjYzNzE4OTA4ODo1fDIxNzNhNzViMWEzNDhmMGIwN2RhNTRhMjU2YjcwODJjZTVkYzdiYWFmNzcyMjE2Zjg5NGMzOTVhNDZjMzAyOGM=
    [data] => Array
         (
         )

     [uri] => /v3/pins/69383650488493124/comments/
 )

Can you show the code please?

[ltiwana]

Sorry for not adding the code I know you have specified this in the instructions.

here is my code:
date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use seregazhuk\PinterestBot\Factories\PinterestBot;

$bot = PinterestBot::create();

$pins = $bot->pins->search('security', 20)->toArray();

foreach($pins as $pin) {
print_r ($pin['comments']);
}

@ltiwana Looks like it is on Pinterest side. Their response doesn't contain comments data

[ltiwana]

Oh okay, so there is no way to know if I have already commented on the pin.

[seregazhuk]

Update to version 5.6.9 and use this code.

[ltiwana]

@seregazhuk Just tried again. Here is the error i get:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught seregazhuk\PinterestBot\Exceptions\InvalidRequest: Error calling seregazhuk\PinterestBot\Api\Providers\Comments::getList method.

Here is my code:

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use seregazhuk\PinterestBot\Factories\PinterestBot;

$bot = PinterestBot::create();
$pins = $bot->pins->search('cats', 100)->toArray();

foreach($pins as $pin) {
			
	$comments = $bot->comments->getList($pin['id'])->toArray();

	foreach($comments as $comment) {
		print_r ($comment);
		sleep (2);
	}
}

I've just created an empty project, required the library and everything is ok 😕

[ltiwana]

I am setting it up on a new system from scratch. Hopefully, it works.

[seregazhuk]

@ltiwana does it work for you?

[ltiwana]

@seregazhuk this is fixed, and working on the new project.

My problem was that I wanted to make sure that i don't end up with duplicate comments on the same pin. So I used the comment array to check if my name is under comments. Is there a better way to find that out?

[seregazhuk]

@ltiwana I don't know :( They have removed this array from response. So, let me know If you have any ideas.

[ltiwana]

@seregazhuk Actually your bot was the reason I got started with PHP (awesome job on the bot). I have never used PHP before but I will try my best to help out.

Here is my code that I use to find out if I have already commented on a pin:

<?php

date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use seregazhuk\PinterestBot\Factories\PinterestBot;

$comments = ["love this post!", "Very valuable info!", "Very good info!", "This is good info!"];
$pinwords = ['cybersecurity', 'ransomware', 'antivirus technology'];

$bot = PinterestBot::create();
$result = $bot->auth->login('username','password');

$countpinwords = 1;
$seconds = range(60,180);

print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n" . date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - Grabbing all your saved pins, this may take some time. Please wait...\n";

//I use this to find out if I have already repinned a pin
$alreadypin = $bot->pinners->pins('username',10000)->toArray();

foreach($pinwords as $pinword) {
	
	print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*******************************************************************\n";
	print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - Searching for \"$pinword\" pins...\n";
	print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - At $countpinwords out of " . count($pinwords) . " Pinwords...\n\n\n\n";	
	print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - ACTION   - Searching for $searchpin pins of word \"$pinword\". Please wait, this may take some time...\n";
	
	$pins = $bot->pins->search($pinword, $searchpin)->toArray();
	$countpins = 1;
	
	foreach($pins as $pin) {    
		
		print "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*******************************************************************\n";
		print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - Pin Details: \n";
		print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - At $countpinwords out of " . count($pinwords) . "  Pinwords...\n";
		print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - At $countpins out of " . count($pins) . " Pins...\n\n";
		
		$countpins = 1;
		
		foreach($pins as $pin) {
			
			$comments = $bot->comments->getList($pin['id'])->toArray();
			$comtest = 'No';
			
			print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - Checking if already commented...";	
			
			foreach($comments as $comment) {
				
				if ($comment['user']['id'] == 'YourUserID') {
					$comtest = 'Yes';
					echo "$comtest\n";
					print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - SKIPPING - Already commented!...\n";
					print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - Your Comment ID   -> {$comment['comments']['id']}\n";
					print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - Your Comment Text -> {$comment['comments']['text']}\n\n";
				}
			}
			
			if ($comtest == 'No') {
				echo "$comtest\n";
				
				$comment = $comments[array_rand($comments)];
				
				print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - No comments found\n";
				print "\n\n\n\n" . date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - ACTION   - Posting comment       -> $comment...\n";
				print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - INFO     - Commented Pin URL     -> https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/{$pin['id']}\n\n\n\n";
				
				$bot->comments->create($pin[id], 'Good info');
				$bot->comments->create($pin['id'], $comment);						
				$wait = $seconds[array_rand($seconds)];
				
				print date('Y-m-d h:i:s') . " - WAITING  - For $wait seconds...\n\n"; 
				sleep($wait);
				
			}
				
		}
		$countpins = $countpins + 1;
	}
	$countpinwords = $countpinwords + 1;	
}

Close, because its not library issue, but Pinterest itself.
