> Uploads a JSON object to Pinata and pins it to IPFS

<Accordion title="Guide">
  Pinata makes it easy to upload JSON objects using the `pinJSONToIPFS` endpoint.

  ```javascript Pin JSON
  const JWT = 'YOUR_PINATA_JWT';

  async function pinJSONToIPFS() {
    try {
      const data = JSON.stringify({
        pinataContent: {
          name: "Pinnie",
          description: "A really sweet NFT of Pinnie the Pinata",
          image: "ipfs://bafkreih5aznjvttude6c3wbvqeebb6rlx5wkbzyppv7garjiubll2ceym4",
          external_url: "https://pinata.cloud"
        },
        pinataMetadata: {
          name: "metadata.json"
        }
      })
      const res = await fetch("https://api.pinata.cloud/pinning/pinJSONToIPFS", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          Authorization: `Bearer ${JWT}`,
        },
        body: data,
      });
      const resData = await res.json();
      console.log(resData);
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }
  };

  await pinJSONToIPFS()
