The go interface to ipfs's HTTP API

Install

go install github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs-api@latest

This will download the source into $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs-api.

Usage

See the godocs for details on available methods. This should match the specs at ipfs/specs (Core API); however, there are still some methods which are not accounted for. If you would like to add any of them, see the contribute section below. See also the HTTP API.

Example

Add a file with the contents "hello world!":

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
    	"os"

    	shell "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs-api"
)

func main() {
	// Where your local node is running on localhost:5001
	sh := shell.NewShell("localhost:5001")
	cid, err := sh.Add(strings.NewReader("hello world!"))
	if err != nil {
        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "error: %s", err)
        os.Exit(1)
	}
    fmt.Printf("added %s", cid)
}
