What is the right format for a RSS file for Pinterest?

I have tried to create a RSS feed that Pinterest can read ones every 24 hours and add pins to my boards. I looked at the docs that Pinterest have, but they don´'t even have an example file.

So I have created the RSS file and linked it to Pinterest and I get no errors when adding the link, but it is not working! It is not adding any pins to my boards so I guess I have something wrong in my RSS file.

I wonder, hwat should a Pinterest RSS file look like?

This is my RSS file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>My title</title>
<link>https://www.mywebpage.com/</link>
<description>Some text here.</description>
<item>
<title>The item title here</title>
<link>https://mywebpage.se/produkt/6740</link>
<description>The item description here</description>
<image>
<url>https://mywebpage.se/image.jpg</url>
</image>
<guid>https://mywebpage.se/produkt/6740</guid>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

I have tested a few different formats, but nothing is working. So please, any input really appreciated.

I had the same issue. I tried several times to get the correct RSS from support. Here it works for me. Be careful with the correct date format, this also affects validity.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" version="2.0">
    <channel>
    <title>My Site name</title>
    <link>http://example.com/rss</link>
    <managingEditor>support@example.com (myname)</managingEditor>
