OpenAPI Specification
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
title: Pinata Auth API
description: 'Pinata is an IPFS pinning and dedicated-gateway provider. The v3 API
exposes endpoints for testing authentication, uploading files, listing
and managing files (per network), and managing dedicated gateways. All
requests authenticate via a JWT Bearer token issued from the Pinata
dashboard.
Uploads are sent to a separate hostname (uploads.pinata.cloud) while
file metadata and gateway management live on api.pinata.cloud. Only a
representative subset of the Pinata v3 surface (auth test, upload, files,
gateways) is modeled here. See the API reference linked under
externalDocs for the full catalog including Groups, Keys, and the
IPFS Pinning Service API.
