Pinterest API partial outage on July 18, 2025

Announced18 Jul 2025
Effective18 Jul 2025
StatusIn effect

What changed

Pinterest's status page lists a partial outage of Ads Manager, Boards, Home, Pins, Profile, Sign up and login and The Pinterest API on July 18, 2025. It was first posted as investigating at 16:33 PDT and marked fully resolved at 19:43 PDT. Pinterest did not publish a cause.

What it means

For about three hours on the evening of July 18, 2025 (Pacific time), Pinterest reported a partial outage of the Pinterest API along with Pins, Boards, Profile, Home, Ads Manager and sign up and login, so scheduled Pins and API reads could fail.

Who is affected

Scheduling tools and apps that published or read Pins, boards or analytics through the Pinterest API during the incident, and people logging in to Pinterest.

What to do by 18 Jul 2025

Check whether Pins scheduled for that window published, and retry failed jobs with backoff instead of tight loops during a reported outage.

What this means for you

On the evening of July 18, 2025, parts of Pinterest broke for about three hours, including the connection that scheduling apps use. Some Pins planned for that evening may not have gone out, and logging in may have failed. Pinterest fixed it the same night. If a Pin from that evening is missing, post it again.

The details

  • Components listed: Ads Manager, Boards, Home, Pins, Profile, Sign up and login, The Pinterest API.
  • Status: partial outage.
  • Timeline (Pacific time): 16:33 PDT, investigating: "experiencing a partial outage. Our engineering team is working to identify the cause". 19:43 PDT, resolved: "should no longer be experiencing a partial outage."
  • Cause: not stated on the status page.
  • Duration: about 3 hours 10 minutes between the first and last status posts; the problem may have started before the first post.

What to do next

  • Business owners: If a Pin was scheduled for the evening of July 18, 2025, check that it is live.
  • Marketers and agencies: Check client Pins scheduled for that window and republish any that failed.
  • Developers: Watch the "The Pinterest API" component on pintereststatus.com and back off retries while it reports an outage.
