Pinning files from CID on IPFS

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

const axios = require("axios")

// AUTHENTICATING TO THE API USING YOUR API KEY
const startonApi = axios.create({
baseURL: "https://api.starton.com",
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: "additional", meta: "data" },
})
.then((res) => console.log(res.data))
.catch((e) => console.log(e))
