[SOLVED] Getting Empty sub array when trying to pin to IPFS

Technical Issue Reporting
#1

I am trying to pin my Metadata using Cloud Functions, but while I expected to get something like this:

https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmWjdMFWUVGUw5fhoCHsvjN1a2HUmyHUvx6f1XcE8iChM3

I am getting an empty sub array for my attributes:

https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmbV5HaTDmmC1QfZeDR17aBR6qhNDn6AbemaN8izaJn5wb

I am creating my metadata as follows:

var metadata = {
  name: dataset.image[1],
  image: `${IPFSBaseUrl}${dataset.image[0]}`,
  tokenId: tokenId,
  description:
    "Planet Horse first generation horse. This is a horse that you can trade, race and breed. This is a first edition collectible and shows you are an early supporter of the Planet Horse Family!",
  attributes: [
    {
      trait_type: "Rarity",
      value: dataset.rarity,
    },
    {
      trait_type: "Energy",
      value: dataset.energy,
    },
    {
      trait_type: "Speed",
      value: dataset.speed,
      max_value: 24,
    },
    {
      trait_type: "Susten",
      value: dataset.susten,
      max_value: 24,
    },
    {
      trait_type: "Power",
      value: dataset.power,
      max_value: 24,
    },
    {
      trait_type: "Sprint",
      value: dataset.sprint,
      max_value: 24,
    },
  ],
};

And pining to IPFS using an httpRequest:

Moralis.Cloud.httpRequest({
	method: 'POST',
  	url: 'https://api.pinata.cloud/pinning/pinJSONToIPFS',
  	headers: {
        'pinata_api_key': MY_API_KEY,
        'pinata_secret_api_key': MY_SECRET_KEY,
      },
  	body: metadata
}).then(function(httpResponse) {
	logger.info(httpResponse.text);
}, function(httpResponse) {
	logger.error('Request failed with response code' + httpResponse.status);
});

Can’t figure out what I am doing wrong.

#2

The keys in the example you posted (how you want it to look) are strings, maybe that is the issue?

#3

you may need to convert metadata to string using JSON.stringify for example.

#4

Unfortunately, converting the metadata do string will cause a 400 error since the pinata endpoint I am using (‘https://api.pinata.cloud/pinning/pinJSONToIPFS’) will only handle JSON content.

I am trying to use an alternative with Moralis.Cloud.toIpfs, however, I can’t get the pined file URI because the result always shows as ‘undefined’, I am using the code:

source = JSON.stringify(metadata);

Moralis.Cloud.toIpfs({
   sourceType: "string",
   source: source
}).then(function(response) {
	logger.info(response.text);
}, function(response) {
	logger.error('Request failed with response code' + response.status);
});
#5

Try to use logger.info(JSON.stringify(response))

#6

Worked like a charm! Thanks @cryptokid
