  title: Filebase IPFS RPC Pinning API
  description: The Filebase IPFS RPC API exposes core IPFS daemon functionality through an HTTP interface. Bucket-specific Bearer tokens authenticate all POST requests. Capabilities span data management (add, get, CAR import), pinning (pin/unpin/list), Mutable File System (MFS) operations, keypair management, IPNS publishing and resolution, and daemon information. Enables fine-grained programmatic control over IPFS operations without running a local node.
