Hey Updating the baseUri, syncing and uploading the metadata and file to ipfs at doesn’t run at all. I keep getting
const fetch = require(‘node-fetch’);
^
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module C: … index.js from C:(file location)/uploadFiles.js not supported
Instead change the require of index.js in C:(file location)uploadFiles.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
at Object. (file location) {
Code: ‘ERR_REQUIRE_ESM’}
Please how do I resolve this cus it’s a barrier
Hello everyone, I am new here. I am facing some issue with IPFS. the following code i am using for image upload to ipfs.infura.io gateway in my form. it was working fine but from few days it’s giving me this error. need your kind help!
Error: /api/v0/object has been removed, use /api/v0/dag instead
Hi 
@younas and welcome to the Infura community!
Could you share with us a code snippet you used for image upload?
Are you using /api/v0/object by change? Please note, that method has been deprecated and you should use /api/v0/dag instead.
hello, I got the same problem. When I run the program, it shows "https://ipfs.infura.io:5001/api/v0/add?stream-channels=true&progress=false CORS request did not succeed ". I tried to use the URL that I run successfully before, but now I can’t get in and show this message.
Is there any way to fix it to make it run successfully?
Hey @Cal please refer to the following.
https://infura.discoursehosting.net/t/ipfs-authentication-error-403-forbidden/5672/50
The change was reverted that was affecting client-agents, but you still should use Dedicated getaway as of now, as the Public getaway has been deprecated.

hey can you help me? yesterday my project was working successfully and was able to upload files and get that hash. today it gives this message in console
POST https://ipfs.infura.io:5001/api/v0/add?stream-channels=true&progress=false 401 (Unauthorized)
This is what i do in my code:-
** Setting up ipfs client: **
import { create } from 'ipfs-http-client'
const ipfs = create({ host: 'ipfs.infura.io', port: 5001, protocol: 'https', apiPath: '/api/v0' });
** Uploading my file : **
const uploadFile = description => {
// console.log("ipfs client : ", ipfs)
// console.log("submitting the file to IPFS with description: ", description)
// console.log("buffer is : ", buffer);
//Add file to the IPFS
//from infura documentation
ipfs.add(buffer)
.then(
result => {
console.log("result is ", result)
//Set state to loading
setLoading(true);
//Assign value for the file without extension
if (type == null) {
setType('none')
}
console.log("our smart contract is ", ddBox)
console.log("our method is ",ddBox.functions.uploadFile)
const callMethod=async ()=>{
try {
const tx= await ddBox.functions.uploadFile(result.size, result.path, type, name, description);
console.log("transaction is : ",tx)
console.log(tx.hash)
setLoading(false);
setType(null);
setName(null);
window.location.reload()
} catch (error) {
window.alert('Error')
setLoading(false)
}
}
callMethod();
}
)
.catch(error => console.error(error))
}
@Abhinav_Agarwal, what is in your “buffer”?
Can you make sure you are including Authentication when uploading files?
Please check out this example:

I am also getting the same issue anyone please help … Facing since 3 weeks (same issue) … 
The issue :

Hi @Vikash_Kumar_yadav You’ll need to pass authentication to your IpfsApi, here’s an example How to add data using ipfs-http-client
@Flaveeu while i am making project in the ipfs at that time it is asking for my card details . Is this true ?
I am also getting the same issue anyone
Hi muma, welcome! Have you reviewed this answer yet:
If so, please provide your code and error message?
Hello,
We are currently working on our Final Year Project-Dropbox clone using blockchain and ipfs.
We are facing an issue where we upload the file and without showing the hash value it is saying that the result is undefined.
Hoping for your response soon.
Thank You.
