I think it is worth considering whether pinning API over libp2p would be a better option than HTTP based pinning API. Here are some of my thoughts on this subject:

Pinning API over libp2p

  1. 馃憤 This would essentially turn any IPFS node into pinning service (if they choose to provide it). Symmetry here is really compelling because I could authorize my phone to pin anything on my laptop.
  2. 馃憤 Transport agnostic.
  3. 馃憤 If I am asking to pin content from my laptop with libp2p I already have a open channel with the node so it could be leveraged to get that content from me.
  4. 馃憥 It's far more involved than a simple HTTP request, but then again if assumption is that this is used from IPFS node, this doesn't really change much.
  5. 馃憤 It would be trivial to subscribe to pin changes instead of having to poll for updates.

IIRC, OrbitDB and/or 3Box use something like that.
