# Pinning Services API

### Pinning Services API

#### The IPFS Pinning Services API Spec

IPFS builds a standardised set of specifications for developers, allowing applications to integrate pinning services without the need to understand the pinning service's unique API.

More information: <https://ipfs.github.io/pinning-services-api-spec/>.

#### Endpoints

Users who are looking to use the IPFS Pinning Services API can perform interactions from the following 4EVER dedicated API endpoints:

```
https://api.4everland.dev
```

Please visit the [Official Endpoint Documentation](https://ipfs.github.io/pinning-services-api-spec/#tag/pins) for more up-to-date information.

#### Authentication

You need to have an `accessToken` to authenticate with 4EVERLAND through the Pinning Services API spec and it can be easily found on the 4EVER Pin page. When you first enter the 4EVER Pin page, the `accessToken` is automatically generated.

This `accessToken` can not be deleted, but can be reset.

Note: The Bearer Token method is used for authentication in the Pinning Services API Spec, and you'll provide an authentication header using your accessToken as follows:

```
Authorization: Bearer YourAccessToken
```

#### Configuring 4EVERLAND in the IPFS Desktop App

You can configure the 4EVER Pin in the IPFS desktop application. To do so, open the app > Preferences > Add Service:
