Accessing IPFS

IPFS is a distributed peer to peer system. There is no central server! Typically, each machine (peer) runs a daemon that communicates with other peers.

The IpfsClient provides a simple way for your program to access the daemon via the IPFS HTTP API protocol. The client should be used as a shared object in your program, much like HttpClient. It is thread safe (re-entrant) and conserves sockets and TCP connections when only one instance is used.

public class Program
{
  static readonly IpfsClient ipfs = new IpfsClient();
  public async Task Main(string[] args) 
  {
    // Get the Peer info of the daemon
    var peer = await ipfs.IdAsync();
  }
}
Core API

The Core API is a set of interfaces to IPFS features and is implemented by the client. The FileSystem and PubSub features are most often used.

const string filename = "QmXarR6rgkQ2fDSHjSY5nM2kuCXKYGViky5nohtwgF65Ec/about";
string text = await ipfs.FileSystem.ReadAllTextAsync(filename);
