Pinning CID on IPFS

You can pin content already available on IPFS with Starton using the Content IDentifier (CID).

From Code

const axios = require("axios");

// AUTHENTICATING TO THE API USING YOUR API KEY
const startonApi = axios.create({
    baseURL: "https://api.starton.io",
    headers: {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    },
});

startonApi.post("/v3/ipfs/pin", {
    name: "pin name", // name of the file you would like to pin
    cid: "bafybeid7ybbefggfv6y7gkkbyt3tpi647p66mrmcjkujrlbfbtb6mmbklq", // cid of the file you would like to pin
    metadata: { your: "additionnal", meta: "data" },
})
    .then(res=>console.log(res.data))
    .catch(e=>console.log(e))
