Integrating Pinterest with my iOS app

Question

I want to post an image on to pinterest account from my iPhone application, there is no any API release from pinterest thats why i am trying to integrate it with URL Scheme but didn't get successed on it. Here is the code for it,

- (void)pinThroughURLScheme {
    NSString *urlString = PinterestURLMake(self.image, nil, @"alt", @"image.jpeg", NO);
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
}

NSString *PinterestURLMake(UIImage *image, NSString *urlString, NSString *alt, NSString    *title, BOOL isVideo) {
    NSString *base64ImageString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"data:image/png;base64,%@",    NSStringFromUIImage(image)];
    NSString *encodedBase64ImageString = [base64ImageString urlEncodeUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSString *encodedURLValue = [urlString urlEncodeUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSString *encodedAltValue = [alt urlEncodeUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSString *encodedTitleValue = [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %.0fx%.0f pixels", title, image.size.width, image.size.height] urlEncodeUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSString *videoValue = isVideo ? @"true" : @"false";    
    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"pinterest://pin/create/bookmarklet/?url=URL-OF-THE-PAGE-TO-PIN&media=URL-OF-THE-IMAGE-TO-PIN&description=ENTER-YOUR-DESCRIPTION-FOR-THE-PIN",
        encodedBase64ImageString,
        urlString ? [NSString stringWithFormat:@"&url=%@", encodedURLValue] : @"",
        alt ? [NSString stringWithFormat:@"&alt=%@", encodedAltValue] : @"",
        title ? [NSString stringWithFormat:@"&title=%@", encodedTitleValue] : @"",
        videoValue];
}

After running this code, didn't get any response from my iPhone device.

Hello, I want to integrate pinterest to xcode without webView or UIWebView, i just want to post image directly through my application like in Twitter or Facebook. So is it possible ? because still pinterest doesn't release their official API. – Apple Oct 09 '12 at 13:07
I have browsed a bit but havent found anything :( ... As soon as I find something useful i'll get back to u .... :) Cheers ... – IronManGill Oct 09 '12 at 13:16
