| 11 | ### Example |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Pin file on your local IPFS node based on its CID: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ```go |
| 16 | package main |
| 17 | |
| 18 | import ( |
| 19 | "context" |
| 20 | "fmt" |
| 21 | |
| 22 | "github.com/ipfs/boxo/path" |
| 23 | "github.com/ipfs/go-cid" |
| 24 | "github.com/ipfs/kubo/client/rpc" |
| 25 | ) |
| 26 | |
| 27 | func main() { |
| 28 | // "Connect" to local node |
| 29 | node, err := rpc.NewLocalApi() |
| 30 | if err != nil { |
| 31 | fmt.Println(err) |
| 32 | return |
| 33 | } |
| 34 | // Pin a given file by its CID |
| 35 | ctx := context.Background() |
| 36 | c, err := cid.Decode("bafkreidtuosuw37f5xmn65b3ksdiikajy7pwjjslzj2lxxz2vc4wdy3zku") |
| 37 | if err != nil { |
| 38 | fmt.Println(err) |
| 39 | return |
| 40 | } |
| 41 | p := path.FromCid(c) |
| 42 | err = node.Pin().Add(ctx, p) |
| 43 | if err != nil { |
| 44 | fmt.Println(err) |
| 45 | return |
| 46 | } |
| 47 | } |
| 48 | ``` |
