More Details

I started by creating a Pinata account.

and I logged in afterward.

You can use Pinata for various purposes, but for this purpose, we want to use it as a dev so I went to API to get a new key.

I clicked the New Key button from the API page to create a new key.

I chose a name for the Key and gave admin permission so that I could have all the privileges.

You will be presented with an API Key, API Secret, and JWT Code...MAKE SURE THAT YOU COPY THEM INTO A SAFE AND SECURE PLACE IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO VIEW THEM AGAIN!.
