Frequently Asked Questions
Add your Pinata API key to viaSocket in a secure connector step. Then create a workflow: pick the trigger (e.g., CMS publish, file upload, scheduled backup), add a Pinata action to upload/pin, and map returned CID fields back into your systems. No code required.
Yes. You can add AI steps in viaSocket to classify or tag files (for example: detect image type, rate NSFW risk, or extract metadata) and then route or enrich files before sending them to Pinata. That lets you automate approval, naming, and metadata without manual review.
Pinata stores files on IPFS and offers pinning for persistence. viaSocket simply uploads/pins using your Pinata account credentials and records the resulting CIDs and logs. Security and persistence depend on your Pinata plan and pinning policies—viaSocket maintains an auditable record of each operation.
Yes—you must use your own Pinata account and API key. viaSocket routes uploads to that account so storage usage, billing, and retention are managed under your Pinata plan. Check Pinata.cloud for plan details.
IPFS is content-addressed, so updating a file creates a new CID. viaSocket uploads the new file to Pinata, captures the new CID, and can automatically update wherever the previous CID was referenced (CMS, database, NFT metadata pointer) so your systems point to the latest content.
