Currently making a rudimentary DApp for posting chats, similar to twitter except built on a smart contract. I am using hardhat and running my app on localhost. When creating a profile I want users to be able to upload a profile picture, however currently whenever I try to do so I get the following error:

POST https://ipfs.infura.io:5001/api/v0/add?stream-channels=true&progress=false 401 (Unauthorized)

Accompanied by the error message:

Error uploading file:  HTTPError: project id required

    at Object.errorHandler [as handleError] (core.js?edc8:103:1)
    at async Client.fetch (http.js?8f3e:149:1)
    at async addAll (add-all.js?93f2:36:1)
    at async last (index.js?7e49:13:1)
    at async Object.add (add.js?6672:22:1)

The console says that the error is occurring in this function:

    const uploadToInfura = async (file) => {
      try {
        const added = await client.add({ content: file });
  
        const url = `https://ipfs.infura.io/ipfs/${added.path}`;
  
        setFileUrl(url);
      } catch (error) {
        console.log('Error uploading file: ', error);
      }
    };

I will attach the entire code for this page below, if you can please let me know what I need to fix in order to get this error to stop happening. Any other tips on what I could improve in general would also be appreciated :)

The Infura IPFS public gateway was deprecated on August 10, 2022

const ipfsClient = require(‘ipfs-http-client’);
const projectId = ’XXX...XXX;
const projectSecret = ‘XXX...XXX’;
const auth = ‘Basic ’ + Buffer.from(projectId + ‘:’ + projectSecret).toString(‘base64’);
const client = ipfsClient.create({
    host: ‘ipfs-infura.io’,
    port: 5001,
    protocol: ‘https’,
    headers: {
        authorization: auth,
    },
});
