Hello there,

Make sure you are passing authentication when making requests.
Project id and project secret are required when using Infura IPFS.

I’m also getting this error, also started a few hours ago when it was working fine yesterday

I’m using the JS ipfs-http-client library with a create of…

const ipfs = create({
  host: 'ipfs.infura.io',
  port: 5001,
  protocol: 'https',
  headers: {
    authorization:
      'Bearer XXXXX',
  },
})

Where the Bearer XXXXX is the project ID and secret from the admin, separated with a colon and converted to base64.

@rik Try this one:

const ipfsClient = require("ipfs-http-client");

const projectId = '...'
const projectSecret = '...'

async function main() {

const auth = 'Basic ' + Buffer.from(projectId + ':' + projectSecret).toString('base64');

 const client = await ipfsClient.create({
    host: 'ipfs.infura.io',
    port: 5001,
    protocol: 'https',
    apiPath: '/api/v0',
    headers: {
      authorization: auth
    }
  })

try {
    const file = await client.add('test.jpg')
    console.log(file)

    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error)
    }

}
main();

Thanks @lovekosmas! I think I was using Bearer instead of Basic in the auth, which would explain it!

yes, Basic auth would do it.

Thanks for confirming!

Hi, despite trying this it seems like I am still getting this error “basic auth failure: invalid project id or project secret”. I have triple checked the project id (API key) and project secret (API secret) but it still doesn’t work… any idea on this?

Hello, I’m having the same issue as @tan.zuuyuaan.victor

I updated my code with your suggestion but I’m getting “basic auth failure: invalid project id or project secret”
