openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: IPFS RPC Add Cid API version: v0 description: 'When a Kubo IPFS node is running as a daemon, it exposes an HTTP RPC API that allows you to control the node and run the same commands you can from the command line. In many cases, using this RPC API is preferable to embedding IPFS directly in your program — it allows you to maintain peer connections that are longer lived than your app and you can keep a single IPFS node running instead of several if your app can be launched multiple times. In fact, the `ipfs` CLI commands use this RPC API when operating in online mode.' x-providerName: IPFS x-logo: url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ipfs/ipfs-docs/55fe8bc6a53ba3b9023951fb4b432efbbc81fba5/docs/.vuepress/public/images/ipfs-logo.svg servers: - description: Local IPFS node url: http://localhost:5001 - description: Local IPFS node url: http://127.0.0.1:5001 - description: Infura hosted IPFS node url: https://ipfs.infura.io:5001 tags: - name: Cid paths: /api/v0/cid/base32: post: operationId: cid/base32 description: Convert CIDs to Base32 CID version 1. externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-cid-base32 parameters: - name: arg in: query description: CIDs to convert. required: true schema: type: string responses: '200': description: Successful response content: application/json: example: CidStr: ErrorMsg: Formatted: tags: - Cid /api/v0/cid/bases: post: operationId: cid/bases description: List available multibase encodings. externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-cid-bases parameters: - name: prefix in: query description: also include the single letter prefixes in addition to the code. schema: type: boolean - name: numeric in: query description: also include numeric codes. schema: type: boolean responses: '200': description: Successful response content: application/json: example: - Code: Name: tags: - Cid /api/v0/cid/codecs: post: operationId: cid/codecs description: List available CID multicodecs. externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-cid-codecs parameters: - name: numeric in: query description: also include numeric codes. schema: type: boolean - name: supported in: query description: list only codecs supported by go-ipfs commands. schema: type: boolean responses: '200': description: Successful response content: application/json: example: - Code: Name: tags: - Cid /api/v0/cid/format: post: operationId: cid/format description: Format and convert a CID in various useful ways. externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-cid-format parameters: - name: arg in: query description: CIDs to format. required: true schema: type: string - name: f in: query description: Printf style format string. schema: type: string default: '%s' - name: v in: query description: CID version to convert to. schema: type: string - name: mc in: query description: CID multicodec to convert to. schema: type: string - name: b in: query description: Multibase to display CID in. schema: type: string responses: '200': description: Successful response content: application/json: example: CidStr: ErrorMsg: Formatted: tags: - Cid /api/v0/cid/hashes: post: operationId: cid/hashes description: List available multihashes. externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-cid-hashes parameters: - name: numeric in: query description: also include numeric codes. schema: type: boolean - name: supported in: query description: list only codecs supported by go-ipfs commands. schema: type: boolean responses: '200': description: Successful response content: application/json: example: - Code: Name: tags: - Cid externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/
