openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: IPFS RPC Add Multibase 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: Multibase paths: /api/v0/multibase/decode: post: operationId: multibase/decode description: Decode multibase string externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-multibase-decode parameters: [] requestBody: description: Argument `encoded_file` is of file type.
