Pinning Services API

The Pinning Services API is a standardized specification for developers who want to build applications on top of IPFS. It allows seamless integration with a pinning service without requiring knowledge of the service's unique API.

Endpoint

W3IPFS users looking to utilize the IPFS Pinning Services API can do so from the dedicated API endpoint: https://api-ipfs.attoaioz.cyou/api/psa/

Authentication

To authenticate with W3IPFS through the Pinning Services API spec, you'll need to obtain an access_token. To obtain an access token for authentication with the W3ipfs Pinning Services API, you can use Postman to make a POST request to the following API endpoint:

POSThttps://api-ipfs.attoaioz.cyou/api/auth/login

Using the IPFS CLI

To use the W3IPFS Pinning Service with the IPFS CLI, you can follow these steps:

1.Add W3IPFS credentials: Before you can start pinning to the W3IPFS Pinning Service, you need to add your authentication credentials. Replace YOUR_AUTH_JWT in the following command with your actual JWT.

ipfs pin remote service add w3ipfs https://api-ipfs.attoaioz.cyou/api/psa/ YOUR_AUTH_JWT

2.Pin a CID to W3IPFS: Once you have added the service, you can pin a CID to W3IPFS using the ipfs pin remote add command. Replace YOUR_CID with the CID you want to pin.

ipfs pin remote add --service=w3ipfs --name=<human-readable-name> YOUR_CID

3.List successful pins: To see a list of successful pins on W3IPFS, you can use the following command:

ipfs pin remote ls --service=w3ipfs

4.List pending pins: If you want to check the status of pending pins on W3IPFS, you can use the following command:

ipfs pin remote ls --service=w3ipfs --status=queued,pinning,failed

5.Additional commands and help: For more commands and general help with the IPFS remote pinning feature, you can use the following command:
