I'm attempting to build a scenario for automating Pinterest posts. I'm sourcing image URLs from a Google Sheet (or Google Drive, if that's simpler) and crafting optimized descriptions using Perplexity. My initial approach involved a file request to download the image from its URL (the Drive is accessible) and then creating a pin, but the image wouldn't display. After reviewing some other discussions, it seems I need to make an API call to retrieve the image, which is where I'm encountering difficulties. I'm quite new to automation and coding in general. Do I need to perform an API call first, followed by a get function? Here's a screenshot illustrating my current setup and the point where I'm stuck. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Where is the file itself stored? You cannot use files stored on Google Drive or Dropbox. It must be a publicly accessible URL, such as from Google Cloud Storage.

It's stored in Google Drive, but I've made it accessible to anyone with the link, and then I'm using that link as the URL.

Hi Tim,
you absolutely don’t need to make an API call to get the file. You can use the Create a Pin module directly and map the google drive url there.

Are you uploading a video or an image? Uploading videos necessitates different modules. The 'create a pin' module is not compatible with videos.
Could you share how you've configured your 'create a pin' module?
Please provide the rewritten markdown content.

Apologies for the delayed reply; I was traveling internationally. Yes, it is a video. I have received the images. I believe for the videos, I need to initiate an API call, but that's where I'm encountering difficulties.
