Pinata Cloud

Demo to preview the plugin:

Introduction

Pinata is a cloud service for keeping your NFT. This plugin makes NFT file storage easy for everyone. You can upload and pin images or videos, 3D files, or even an app on Pinata. 
All of Pinata's content is available on the public IPFS network. This means that anybody running an IPFS node can access content stored on Pinata through their own IPFS node.

How to setup

  1. Create an account on the pinata cloud.

Actions 

1. Pinata Pin File

This endpoint allows the sender to add and pin any file, or directory, to Pinata's IPFS nodes.
ANY FILE? Yeah! Any file. Here at Pinata, you can even host the plans for that awesome spaceship you're building.

Fields
File
The file from your local filesystem 
Name
(optional) - A name that Pinata will associate with this particular hash. A custom string to use as the name for your content
Custom key
(optional) -  The key-values object allows for users to provide any custom key-value pairs they want for the hash being uploaded. These values can be:* Strings
  • Numbers (integers or decimals)
  • Dates (Provided in ISO_8601 format)In simple words, a Custom Key is the key associated with the uploaded file. It is possible to create up to 10 Custom Key- Key-value. For instance, Custom Key - Price, Key-value- 300$ for the file.  |
| Key value | Custom key value (required when using a custom key). |
States
ipfsHash
This is the IPFS multi-hash provided for your content.
PinSize
The file size (in bytes).
Timestamp
The pinned file timestamp (represented in ISO 8601 format)
Is duplicate
Return true or false if the file is duplicated.
Error
Return Error message.

2. Pinata Pin Files

This endpoint also allows users to pin an entire directory to IPFS. This works almost identically to pinning a file, with the main difference being that we provide an array of files and need to provide a relative file path for each file in the directory.

Fields
Files
Dynamic ink for the multi-file uploader.
Name
File names list.
States
ipfs hash
This is the IPFS multi-hash provided for your content.
Pin size
The file size (in bytes).
Time Stamp
The pinned files timestamp (represented in ISO 8601 format).

3. Pinata Pin By CID

This endpoint allows you to add a hash to Pinata for asynchronous pinning. Content added through this endpoint is pinned in the background and will show up in your pinned items once the content has been found/pinned. For this operation to succeed, the content for the hash you provide must already be pinned by another node on the IPFS network.
Image without caption
Fields
Hash
Your CID to pin (ExampleHash).
Name
(optional) - A name that Pinata will associate with this particular hash.
Custom key
(optional) -  The key-values object allows for users to provide any custom key-value pairs they want for the hash being uploaded. These values can be:* Strings
  • Numbers (integers or decimals)
  • Dates (Provided in ISO_8601 format)In simple words, a Custom Key is the key associated with the uploaded file. It is possible to create up to 10 Custom Key- Key-value. For instance, Custom Key - Price, Key-value- 300$ for the file.  |
| Key value | Custom key value (required when using a custom key). |
States
Id
Pinata's ID for the pin job.
ipfs hash
IPFS multi-hash provided to Pinata to pin.
Status
The current status of the pin job. If the request was successful the status should be 'searching'.
Name
The name of the pin (if provided initially)
Error
Return Error message.

4. Pinata Unpin

This endpoint allows the sender to unpin content they previously uploaded to Pinata's IPFS nodes.
Image without caption
Field
Hash
Hash to unpin from pinata.
State
Success
Return true if file unpinet.
Error
Return error message

5. Pinata Hash Metadata

This endpoint allows the sender to change the name and custom key-values associated with a piece of content stored on Pinata.
Changes made via this endpoint only affect the metadata for the hash passed in.
Image without caption
Fields
Hash
Your CID to pin (ExampleHash).
New custom name
(optional) - A new name for Pinata to associate with the hash provided.
Custom key
(optional) -  The key-values object allows for users to provide any custom key-value pairs they want for the hash being uploaded. These values can be:* Strings
  • Numbers (integers or decimals)
  • Dates (Provided in ISO_8601 format)In simple words, a Custom Key is the key associated with the uploaded file. It is possible to create up to 10 Custom Key- Key-value. For instance, Custom Key - Price, Key-value- 300$ for the file.  |
| Key value | Custom key value (required when using a custom key). |
State:
Success
Return true if the file is modified
Error
Return error message

6. Pinata User Pined

The response for this call will be the total combined size of everything you currently have pinned on Pinata. This value will be expressed in bytes.
State 
Pin size total 
The total size of all files pinned in Pinata cloud.
Pin count
Total count pinned files
Pin size with replications Total
The total size of all files pinned in pinata cloud with replications.

7. Pinata Pin List

The timestamp for when this content was unpinned (if null, then you still have the content pinned on Pinata).
name
The name of the file originally uploaded, or the custom name you set.
keyvalues
The key value for the content you pinned.

8. Pinata Pin JSON

This endpoint allows the sender to add and pin any JSON object they wish to Pinata's IPFS nodes. This endpoint is specifically optimized to only handle JSON content. Once the server receives the JSON, it is converted into a JSON file and pinned to our IPFS storage nodes.
