IPFS

InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol and distributed content-addressed storage system. The Kubo implementation exposes an HTTP RPC API (/api/v0/) for adding, pinning, and retrieving content-addressed files, managing DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) nodes, key management, and network peer operations. The HTTP Gateway API provides read-only access to IPFS and IPNS content over standard HTTP. The Delegated Routing V1 HTTP API enables clients to discover content providers and resolve peer records without running a full DHT node.

IPFS publishes 38 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Add API, Bitswap API, Block API, and 35 more. Tagged areas include IPFS, Distributed Storage, Content-Addressed, Decentralized, and Peer-to-Peer.

The IPFS catalog on APIs.io includes 2 JSON-LD contexts and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

IPFS’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, and 2 more developer resources.
