# Pinata
The new all-in-one Pinata SDK
## Quickstart
[View the full documentation here](https://docs.pinata.cloud/sdk-beta/getting-started)
### 1. Install
```bash
npm i pinata
```
Import and initialize the SDK in your codebase with the following variables
- [Pinata API Key JWT](https://docs.pinata.cloud/account-management/api-keys)
- [Pinata Gateway Domain](https://docs.pinata.cloud/gateways/dedicated-ipfs-gateways)
```typescript
import { PinataSDK } from "pinata";
const pinata = new PinataSDK({
pinataJwt: "PINATA_JWT",
pinataGateway: "example-gateway.mypinata.cloud",
});
```
The `PINATA_JWT` is a secret key, be sure to initialize the SDK in a secure environment and practice basic variable security practices. If you need to upload from a client environment, consider using signed JWTs
### 2. Upload a File
```typescript
import { PinataSDK } from "pinata";
const pinata = new PinataSDK({
pinataJwt: process.env.PINATA_JWT!,
pinataGateway: "example-gateway.mypinata.cloud",
});
async function main() {
try {
const file = new File(["hello"], "Testing.txt", { type: "text/plain" });
const upload = await pinata.upload.public.file(file);
console.log(upload);
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
await main();
```
This will return an object like the following:
```typescript
{
id: "0195a5c4-242f-7c01-bee8-f34a9e8e804b",
user_id: "87ef31fe-519b-4ffe-90d9-987771247827",
group_id: null,
name: "hello.txt",
cid: "bafkreid7qoywk77r7rj3slobqfekdvs57qwuwh5d2z3sqsw52iabe3mqne",
created_at: "2025-03-17T20:20:50.057Z",
size: 12,
number_of_files: 1,
mime_type: "text/plain",
vectorized: false,
network: "public",
}
```
### 3. Retrieve a File
Use the `cid` or from the upload to fetch a file
```typescript
import { PinataSDK } from "pinata";
const pinata = new PinataSDK({
pinataJwt: process.env.PINATA_JWT!,
pinataGateway: "example-gateway.mypinata.cloud",
});
async function main() {
try {
const data = await pinata.gateways.public.get("bafkreibm6jg3ux5qumhcn2b3flc3tyu6dmlb4xa7u5bf44yegnrjhc4yeq");
console.log(data)
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
main();
```
