I’m getting this error while trying to upload a file to IPFS. I have no idea where the error lies.

Hi @abhijit69-ui and welcome to the community.

It seems you are not authenticating your request, hence the 401 unauthorized error. Please use your project Id and project secret to authenticate. You can use the below as an example:

curl "https://ipfs.infura.io:5001/api/v0/add?pin=false" \
    -X POST \
    -u "PROJECT_ID:PROJECT_SECRET" \
    -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
    -F file=@"/sample-result.json"
