Pinterest API App in dev mode (so I can use http redirect)

When doing dev against pinterest API, I'm running a simple dev server, without https. The pinterest API appears to only allow https URIs, no matter how I try to work around it.

Is there a way to put the app in specifically-dev mode, and allow a non-encrypted redirect URI?

I was kinda directed here by their support page, so if this is not the place to ask company-specific api questions, please let me know, and I'll remove it.

Thanks!

You can use ngrok, It allows you to use https in your dev env (localhost)

After downloading extract the file, then simply run from terminal ./ngrock http 80,

It will give you a https url which will point to localhost. There's a lot of configuration that can be done.

By this you can use the https url as pinterest callback. I'm using that for dev also.

No, there isn't a way. I ran into the same problem and had to install an SSL certificate in order to obtain the token and post messages.
