Pinterest

Lightweight, dependency-free, in-memory fake of the Pinterest API v5 for testing code that creates pins/boards and reads the user account.

Default port: 4805

Quick start

import { PinterestServer } from "./services/pinterest/src/server.js";

const server = new PinterestServer(4805);
await server.start();
// ... run your app/tests ...
await server.stop();

Point your client (or raw fetch) at http://127.0.0.1:4805:

const board = await fetch("http://127.0.0.1:4805/v5/boards", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { Authorization: "Bearer parlel-test-token", "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ name: "Inspiration", privacy: "PUBLIC" }),
}).then((r) => r.json());

const pin = await fetch("http://127.0.0.1:4805/v5/pins", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { Authorization: "Bearer parlel-test-token", "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    board_id: board.id,
    title: "My Pin",
    media_source: { source_type: "image_url", url: "https://example.com/x.jpg" },
  }),
}).then((r) => r.json());

Implemented operations

All /v5/* routes require Authorization: Bearer <token> (any non-empty token accepted). List responses use the { items: [], bookmark } shape. State is in-memory and ephemeral.

• GET /v5/user_account — the authenticated user account.
• GET /v5/pins — list pins ({ items, bookmark }).
• POST /v5/pins — create a pin (201). Requires board_id.
• GET /v5/pins/:pin_id — retrieve a pin.
• DELETE /v5/pins/:pin_id — delete a pin (204).
• GET /v5/boards — list boards ({ items, bookmark }).
• POST /v5/boards — create a board (201). Requires name.
• GET /v5/boards/:board_id — retrieve a board.
• DELETE /v5/boards/:board_id — delete a board (204).

Service & inspection operations (parlel extensions)

• GET / — service metadata.
• GET /health — health check.
• POST /__parlel/reset — reset all in-memory state.
• GET /__parlel/pins — list captured pins.
• GET /__parlel/boards — list captured boards.

Access via MCP / preview URL

When run inside a Daytona sandbox, this HTTP service is auto-exposed at the sandbox's preview URL. Send requests to the preview URL with the x-daytona-preview-token header to reach the service from outside the sandbox. The MCP layer surfaces the same endpoints described above.

Surface coverage

This emulator faithfully replicates the API surface most application code and agents exercise. Anything below the supported lines is either an intentional design choice for a fast, zero-cost local emulator (✓ By design) or a candidate for a future release (⟳ Roadmap) — never a silent inaccuracy.

Legend: ✅ fully supported · ◐ accepted (stored, not strictly enforced) · ✓ by design · ⟳ on the roadmap.

Configuration — test.env

Copy these into your test.env (used by the bridge sidecar flow). Tokens are Parlel's seeded test credentials — any non-empty value is accepted by the emulator, so you rarely need to change them. Swap in real credentials only when pointing at the live service in prod.env.
