Adding Pinterest Script Before Closing Body Tag

Question

According to the Pinterest website in order to add the Pinterest button to any page I have to add the following just below the closing body tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>

What's the best way to do this?

Should I follow the link, grab the script and use wp_enqueue_script? Or can I somehow include the script element another way?

Thanks.

Yes, you have to use wp_enqueue_script function. Pass $in_footer argument as true and your script will be added before closing body:

function my_scripts_method() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'pinterest', '//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js', array(), false, true);
}    
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_method' );
