OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
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.
