Practical overview

When it fits

Use Ipfs Pinner when a development workflow needs CLI-based uploads to a supported IPFS pinning provider or Go code needs a provider-specific file-pinning call.

Who it is for

  • Developers who want to pin local files or directories through a command-line tool.
  • Go developers integrating IPFS pinning into an application.
  • Builders storing off-chain NFT media or metadata through a supported pinning provider.

Documented uses

  • Send a file or directory to an IPFS pinning provider.
  • Call a provider-specific Go package to pin a file and obtain its CID.
  • Choose among Infura, Pinata, NFT.Storage and Web3.Storage using the CLI.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README documents installation through Go or Snap on GNU/Linux. Pinata requires signup and API credentials; the Infura option is described as the default and may be rate-limited.

  • The CLI lists Infura, Pinata, NFT.Storage and Web3.Storage as supported providers.
  • Infura is the default; the README describes it as needing no additional setup but warns of possible rate limiting.
  • Pinata requires signup and API key plus secret; its README description notes controls for deleting, labeling and adding custom metadata.
  • The NFT.Storage example uses an API key and describes a service for off-chain NFT data.
  • Go package examples are provider-specific and show PinFile returning a CID.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Prepare a Pinata CLI upload

Configure the documented Pinata credentials and select Pinata for a file upload.

Before you start

  • Ipfs Pinner CLI
  • A Pinata account, which the README says is required
  • Pinata API key and secret API key

Steps

  1. Set IPFS_PINNER_PINATA_API_KEY and IPFS_PINNER_PINATA_SECRET_API_KEY in the environment, using the documented variable names for the operating system.

  2. Select Pinata with the -p pinata option and provide the file path, following the README command example.

Expected outcome

The documented CLI command is configured to submit the selected file through Pinata.

Guide limitations

  • The README documents credential setup and command syntax but does not establish that an upload has completed.
  • Pinata signup is required.
