 * Started getting this error last month and I was hoping that it would resolve 
   after version 4 upgrade but nope … After upgrading to 4.0.3 I’m still getting
   the same error
 * Array ( [api_error_code] => 3 [message] => Authorization failed. [code] => API_ERROR[
   target] => [http_status] => 401 )
 * I opened a support ticket but so far it has been ignored.
 * Anyone else having the same issue?

 * This error simply means your password is incorrect.

 * My login / password are correct. I’m able to login directly using the same login/
   pass .. but it is not working through the SNAP. The error started to appear all
   of a sudden (without me changing anything on Pinterest or within the script) 
   and not only on one site but other sites as well (where I have SNAP installed).
   I’m in Canada. I noticed that now when I go to Pinterest.com the domain changes
   to Pinterest.ca
 * I’m able to log into pinterest.ca using the same login / pass as pinterest.com
 * Could it be something that has to do with Pinterest.com redirecting to Pinterest.
   ca which is causing the error that I’m getting ?? Is anyone else having the same
   issues??
 * Thanks,

 * We just checked a site from one of our users who’s got this error.
 * It turned out that this site has a thing called “Sucuri Security Firewall” installed.
 * That nice piece of software decided that it is not secure to send Pinterest authorization
   info from the site to Pinterest. So it is just removing it from SNAP requests.
   As a result requests go out without authorization info and Pinterest correctly
   returns “Authorization failed” error.
 * We put a workaround that will make it somehow workable, but you need to figure
   out how to whitelist SNAP with that “Sucuri Security Firewall”. All SNAP requests
   should go out unmodified by any third party services.

 * Workaround is included in the API version 4.0.24. Please go to the Help/Support
   page and click “[Check for API Update]”

 * I just updated to the latest version 4.0.4…
 * and after updating… I tested with one of my existing posts for posting to Pinterest
   and it worked! Seems like the update fixed the problem. 🙂
 * When I make a new post … I’ll find out if the auto post is working.
 * Thank you!
