This directory contains the description of the core JS IPFS API. In order to be considered "valid", a JS IPFS core implementation must expose the API described here. This abstraction allows for different implementations including:
- Full JavaScript native implementation
- Delgate implementation that invokes another IPFS implementation (e.g., Kubo)
You can use this loose spec as documentation for consuming the core APIs.
It is broken up into the following sections:
- BITSWAP.md
- BLOCK.md
- BOOTSTRAP.md
- CONFIG.md
- DAG.md
- DHT.md
- FILES.md
- KEY.md
- MISCELLANEOUS.md
- NAME.md
- OBJECT.md
- PIN.md
- PUBSUB.md
- REFS.md
- REPO.md
- STATS.md
- SWARM.md
This API was created based off the Kubo RPC HTTP API. There is no guarantee they stay fully in sync.
