IPFS Content Gateway
Available Actions
Details
IPFS Content Gateway provides access to the InterPlanetary File System, a decentralized peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing content using content-addressed identifiers. The retrieval function fetches data from IPFS by CID (Content Identifier) with automatic failover across seven public gateways including ipfs.io, Cloudflare IPFS, and Pinata, ensuring high availability even when individual gateways are slow or unavailable. Content retrieval automatically detects whether the response is text or binary data and returns appropriate previews with full metadata including content type, size, and response headers. The upload function accepts base64-encoded files up to 10MB and pins them to IPFS through pinning services that ensure content remains available on the network. Users can provide their own API credentials for Pinata, Web3.Storage, or NFT.Storage, or use shared infrastructure for convenience. Each upload returns the permanent CID along with multiple gateway URLs for immediate access. The list function provides a complete history of uploads including filenames, sizes, upload dates, and ready-to-use gateway links, with aggregate statistics on total storage used.
