Pinata toolkit in Python

This toolkit is for Pinata users who use Python.

Installation

• git clone https://github.com/edmondyu/pinata-python-util.git
• edit the file pinataApiKey.csv to include your Pinata API key. You can assign any label to your key, and supply the label as an argument of the command to use that key.

Using pinFileInCSV.py

• this script is for batch uploading and pinning files to Pinata.
• prepare data in a CSV file, one row one file, filename specified in the "filename" field, with any metadata.
• copy the CSV file to the program directory
• copy all the files to be uploaded to the "/upload" directory
• run the command

python3 pinFileInCsv.py csvFile.csv keyLabel

• the script will pin the files specified in the CSV row by row. If pinning successful, the returned hash will be written in the output file "out_[inputFilename]". The field will be left blank if pinning failed.
• the input file does not need to have the "ipfsHash" field prepared in advance, the script will add this field automatically.
• If the input file has the ipfsHash field in advance, however, the script will skip those records which already have hash value filled.
