Help with ipfs-bulk-upload

When I use the youtube-tutorial/ipfs-bulk-upload (from moralis github), it gives me an error when I try to generate 6400 in the metadata.js.

` Error: Request failed with status code 504

I think that you can not upload now 6400 metadata files because of a size limit for uploadFolder API endpoint

#4

Do I need to have multiple “Qm…” addresses if I want to do it a few separate times?
Or is there a way to put it all in the same “Qm…” address?

#5

Ideally you would want them all in the same “Qn…” address, but that endpoint doesn’t work now with too many files at once. You could try now to use other IPFS service like pinata to upload all the files on a single folder.

#6

If I use other services such as pinata, can I still use moralis API such as live queries?

#7

yes, only the upload part to IPFS for a folder initially for your metadata files you could do it anywhere else and after that get that path on IPFS where the metadata files was saved in the same folder
