Contact about paying for the IPFS Upload API

[hex-aragon]

Currently, when I test uploading the image file of NFT to ipfs as metadata by receiving Nft storage key as api key, it does not work even if I run it with go language or node js. Do I need to pay to upload to ipfs?

I hope you’re well! I wanted to share some key updates about the differences between NFT.Storage Classic and our new NFT.Storage Flagship product, along with tips to help you manage your NFT data seamlessly. NFT.Storage Classic NFT.Storage Classic was the original offering, created to provide free decentralized storage for NFT data on IPFS and Filecoin. As of June 30, 2024, however, NFT.Storage Classic (including NFTUp) no longer accepts new uploads. If you’ve previously stored data here, your existing files are still securely stored and accessible through the NFT.Storage Gateway and decentralized Filecoin storage. Over time, though, please note that access speed and availability may gradually degrade. To ensure uninterrupted, fast access, we recommend copying your data to a secondary hot storage provider, such as Pinata or Lighthouse. For a step-by-step guide on how to do this, check out our resource here: Guide to Copying Data to Additional Storage <https://d5jqXy04.na1.hs-sales-engage.com/Ctc/Y+23284/d5jqXy04/JlF2-6qcW8wLKSR6lZ3nPW7WyFz35QnMMpW8TVb_78tKb3HW4d3lgX8wRxy_W5nL4Z17RyH__W2Xz1vl1r4c8DW8cPFt48nv9h8N7FjzprC2rKvW1h83Tc4Gy_rSVWwphw8JmNYyN6ByGhKZ50X0W38qlnm5dg22NW6qYb3c5CGmv2W5qnLZk34ZjxBVcTsM11qnpkXW11QLsV7pcq6SW1YLWmL8Bs6nsN8C4yj-xw2KyW3FgpyV7D-wS3W988JNM2tbF1GW3JrhcN6jgb4yW2MsD_x7xT4DFN47y-dqS625jW8Yf8lQ2ldcxlW7tW0WK1SRzvYN2K1ccXmWbrdN532VM3nmTWdW6Gb4Y931kytqW5xsXgj17FKpgf38t7yT04> . NFT.Storage Flagship Product Our new NFT.Storage Flagship product is designed specifically for long-term NFT preservation. Here’s how it works: 1. *Mint and Manage Your NFTs*: Start by minting your NFTs and getting the metadata and imagery Content Identifiers (CIDs). 2. *Send Us Your NFT Details*: Then, send us the data, including metadata and imagery CIDs, the blockchain(s) where they’re minted, contract addresses, and token IDs. We’ll store this data in decentralized, verifiable Filecoin storage for long-term security. *Note*: With the Flagship product, you’ll need to upload your NFT data to IPFS first, as our system doesn’t provide direct IPFS upload. We recommend Pinata or Lighthouse for this step. If you use our referral links for these services, you’ll also be helping to support NFT.Storage’s mission: Referral Link <https://d5jqXy04.na1.hs-sales-engage.com/Ctc/Y+23284/d5jqXy04/JlF2-6qcW8wLKSR6lZ3p4W2lK5dT3XNqtPW3H2LG61Hf0-TW4d6QLB21VtBvW63qjR47Y8LlWW2FPCZh4dmY-qW47k-dt5Tvtf-W7TL3PV793fPGW1ny26Z4Fy9QyW3lCTvP8mYpWJW5Mmj1R8YXrZ5VGKsm47C6SbgW7HXwS83qtzlXW6NgYSs6YDZK4VCz1Ld7YDwFlN4R7stXY0qDMW5c_B962wMvstN7jc_5G1n67TW6Kxbws82yWc3W2nDKkq75hJKHW91NGGC14rqWPW2QdjZY7pvH_YW96K1_t2DW-2qW22p6zJ21MQ8bW4cY-5b5Tjw1cW1htzVy6b01sjW8xZH212fGW0TW7xYfGQ1MHvHBW2sBwMY7W-QyHf37z0Bq04> . Common API Key Issue If you’re receiving the error “API Key is malformed or failed to parse,” it could be because you’re using an API key from app.nft.storage <https://app.nft.storage/login> for the Classic version (classic.nft.storage). Keep in mind that API keys from app.nft.storage <https://app.nft.storage/login> only work with our new Flagship product, so please ensure you’re using the correct API key for each platform. Summary - *NFT.Storage Classic*: No new uploads are allowed, but your existing data is still made available via the NFT.Storage Gateway and stored in the Filecoin. network To ensure better accessibility, we suggest copying it to another storage provider. - *NFT.Storage Flagship*: Focused on long-term, secure storage for NFTs. Mint your NFTs, upload the data to IPFS separately, and send us the details to store on Filecoin. Thank you so much for your continued support of NFT.Storage! If you have any questions about this transition or need assistance, I’m here to help. Warm regards, Elizabeth
