openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: IPFS RPC Add Object 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: Object paths: /api/v0/object/data: post: operationId: object/data description: 'Deprecated way to read the raw bytes of a dag-pb object: use 'dag get' instead.' externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-object-data deprecated: true parameters: - name: arg in: query description: Key of the object to retrieve, in base58-encoded multihash format. required: true schema: type: string responses: '200': description: Successful response tags: - Object /api/v0/object/diff: post: operationId: object/diff description: Display the diff between two IPFS objects. externalDocs: url: https://docs.ipfs.tech/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-object-diff deprecated: true parameters: - name: arg in: query description: 'arg0: Object to diff against. arg1: Object to diff.' required: true explode: true schema: type: array items: type: string - name: verbose in: query description: Print extra information. schema: type: boolean responses: '200': description: Successful response content: application/json: example: Changes: - After: /: Before: /: Path: Type: tags: - Object /api/v0/object/get: post: operationId: object/get description: Deprecated way to get and serialize the dag-pb node.
