dna-ipfs

A JSON-RPC service for accessing IPFS network.

Usage

Make sure you have Go installed and run:

go get -u -d github.com/AlverLyu/dna-ipfs

This will download the source into $GOPATH/src/github.com/AlverLyu/dna-ipfs. Switch to the directory and build dna-ipfs:

go build

Run ./dna-ipfs to start the service, then you can access IPFS network via the JSON-RPC API.

By default, this RPC service will listen on http://localhost:8080/rpc/ipfs and access IPFS via http://localhost:5001, which means you should have an IPFS service running on your machine and the HTTP API listening on port 5001. This can be customized in the config file, which is dnaipfs.cfg by default and can be specified by -c option.

You can also customize the logging system by specifying a .xml config file via -lc option. There is a sample config file in conf/sample/.

API

addfile

Add a file to the IPFS network.

{
    "Method": "addfile",
    "Params": {
        "name": "THE_FILE_NAME",
        "data": "THE_FILE_DATA"
    }
}

The whole json object in Params will be stored into IPFS.

If succeeded, return the file ID in result. Otherwise the error code and a simple description will be returned.

{
    "id": "",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "errrorcode": 0,
    "result": {
        "id": "THE_FILE_ID"
    }
}   

getfile

Get a file from IPFS network.

{
    "Method": "getfile",
    "Params": {
        "id": "THE_FILE_ID"
    }
}

If succeeded, this api will return the json that passed to the Params of addfile in result.

{
    "id": "",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "errrorcode": 0,
    "result": {
        "name": "THE_FILE_NAME",
        "data": "THE_FILE_DATA"
    }
}
