A JavaScript client library for the IPFS HTTP API that implements the interface-ipfs-core specification, letting applications talk to a remote IPFS daemon or swap between an embedded js-ipfs node and remote nodes without code changes. The repository has been archived and its contents merged into the ipfs/js-ipfs repo, so it no longer receives releases or maintenance.
Use cases
- talk to an IPFS node from JavaScript
- upload and add files to IPFS from a Node.js app
- retrieve IPFS content from a browser application
- connect a JavaScript app to a remote IPFS daemon over its HTTP API
- pin content on IPFS programmatically
- switch between embedded js-ipfs and a remote node without changing code
When to choose
- you maintain an existing codebase already depending on ipfs-http-client and cannot migrate yet
- you must integrate with an older IPFS node's HTTP API using the last released version of this library
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use ipfs/js-ipfs or its successor packages instead
- you need recent IPFS protocol features, bug fixes, or security updates
- you need a maintained client with active community support
