Pinterest Migration Guide
We're continuously striving to enhance the quality and reliability of our connectors at Airbyte. As part of our commitment to delivering exceptional service, we are transitioning source Pinterest from the Python Connector Development Kit (CDK) to our innovative low-code framework. This is part of a strategic move to streamline many processes across connectors, bolstering maintainability and freeing us to focus more of our efforts on improving the performance and features of our evolving platform and growing catalog. However, due to differences between the Python and low-code CDKs, this migration constitutes a breaking change.
We’ve evolved and standardized how state is managed for incremental streams that are nested within a parent stream. This change impacts how individual states are tracked and stored for each partition, using a more structured approach to ensure the most granular and flexible state management. This change will affect the following streams:
ad_account_analytics
ad_analytics
ad_group_analytics
ad_groups
ads
campaign_analytics
campaigns
To gracefully handle these changes for your existing connections, we highly recommend resetting your data before resuming your data syncs with the new version.
Airbyte Open Source users must manually update the connector image in their local registry before proceeding with the migration. To do so:
- Select Settings in the main navbar.
- Select Sources.
- Find Pinterest in the list of connectors.
You will see two versions listed, the current in-use version and the latest version available.
- Select Change to update your OSS version to the latest available version.
- Select Sources in the main navbar.
- Select the instance of the connector you wish to upgrade.
Each instance of the connector must be updated separately. If you have created multiple instances of a connector, updating one will not affect the others.
- Select Upgrade
- Follow the prompt to confirm you are ready to upgrade to the new version.
- Select Connections in the main nav bar.
- Select the connection(s) affected by the update.
- Select the Schema tab.
- Uncheck all streams except the affected ones.
- Select Save changes at the bottom of the page.
- Select the Settings tab.
- Press the Clear your data button.
- Return to the Schema tab.
- Check all your streams.
- Select Sync now to sync your data

Additionally, the stream names AdvertizerReport and AdvertizerTargetingReport have been renamed to AdvertiserReport and AdvertiserTargetingReport, respectively.
To ensure uninterrupted syncs, users should:
- Refresh the source schema
