openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: IPFS RPC Add Id 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: Id paths: /api/v0/id: post: operationId: id description: Show IPFS node id info. externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-id parameters: - name: arg in: query description: Peer.ID of node to look up. schema: type: string - name: format in: query description: Optional output format. schema: type: string - name: peerid-base in: query description: 'Encoding used for peer IDs: Can either be a multibase encoded CID or a base58btc encoded multihash.
