Hi. I had a great time working with the API.
Hash: QmPnzP6jZF8scmaPmPz9zg2HvAXPxkXDdkdDvekbaKRxCB

The API is extremely easy to get started with. I really liked how well the API is designed. I also liked the fact that the documentation featured a tutorial on working with Postman, that was a nice touch.

Although I noticed a bug in the documentation, in the JavaScript example on the documentation for the pinFileToIPFS endpoint, the API URL is incorrectly stated as https://api.pinata.cloud/pinning/pinJSONToIPFS instead of https://api.pinata.cloud/pinning/pinFileToIPFS. @obo20 would you like me to create an issue for that?

Hi.
"IpfsHash": "QmPnzP6jZF8scmaPmPz9zg2HvAXPxkXDdkdDvekbaKRxCB"

The API is easy to use and seems very friendly.
And it's builded on MVC. Wow!

1: When I signed up firstly I was seeing account details in the popup.
And word "secret" means that probably I won't see this anymore.
2. As I said: When I visit pinata's site I don't get what's exactly pinata for?
3. The docs can be structured as table of contents with scrolling on tap OR it would be good to see table of contents in any tab.
4. I belive that it would be more easy to use if there would be an option to use js with those modules instantly in browser. And link to postman download also would be rly cool.
5. I don't see where am I. I mean that I need to check all tabs at the top to see: where am I and where I need to be to do something. Would be great if they will be highlighted or anywhere would be a breadcrumbs.

I noticed a bug too, when signing up after courple seconds - I see accound data and cool alerts with errors. I guess thats not right:)

Hi

{
    IpfsHash: 'QmPnzP6jZF8scmaPmPz9zg2HvAXPxkXDdkdDvekbaKRxCB',
    PinSize: '622027',
    Timestamp: '2018-09-07T17:32:01.381Z' 
}

Code is here https://github.com/altuntasfatih/PinataTest

This api provide very easy way for pinning to file to IPFS .
I have used IPFS before.For pinning a file to ıpfs without this api,you must first upload file then call the pin command with hash of uploaded image.This process will require two step.But you can do this in one step with pinata api

Hello,
Hash: QmPnzP6jZF8scmaPmPz9zg2HvAXPxkXDdkdDvekbaKRxCB.
The API was nice and user-friendly especially the one
with Postman, it's pretty easy and straightforward. I also noticed
something on the website, the pin explorer always pops up an error message
when you click on it.i think you would like to fix that apart from that
I think everything other thing was great

Hi

Total beginner here. I connected with JS/axios. The only problem I had setting up was the comment that MJ10 added about the URL (reading that comment was what tipped me off actually). I am noticing that everyone's hash is the same: I'm guessing that's just IPFS being IPFS (which is awesome), but it does seem like it would make it easy to fake doing this.

Hi There,
IPFS Hash: QmPnzP6jZF8scmaPmPz9zg2HvAXPxkXDdkdDvekbaKRxCB

The API is really simple, the UI of pinata.cloud is really enjoyable.
I tested the API using Postman and directly with js code, Postmas is really useful to testing it on the fly.

I have tried both pinFileToIPFS and removePinFromIPFS, simple and useful.
I noticed the same error that catched @MJ10 in doc, while I was trying the API.
I also have noticed that pinataSecretApiKey is pass in clear text via API parameter, maybe it is more secure using something like hash.

Congratulations for the web service, it will promise well.
Thanks in advance.

@everyone who tested the API, thanks for your comments! We really appreciate you testing out our API. We'll likely be throwing up some more tasks for people to try in the future.

@Naggertooth @Ndife Thanks for alerting us to some errors. We don't seem to be seeing them in our error logs. Is there any chance you'd be able to check your chrome developer tools and go to the network tab to see the error that was returned from the API? Thanks so much in advance.

@Naggertooth and @MJ10, we are working on your payments and emailed the gitcoin team. The payment ability closed on us and we are trying to reopen it. If nothing else, we will send a tip.

Hey there, nice API; nice to be able to upload from a file stream. As a dev I'd probably want to be able to upload from a web-based environment as well (blob or plain data encoded).

(tested with a quick node script)

Cheers!
