ipyfs 0.1.3

From now on, you will be able to easily control IPFS System with IPyFS (IPFS Python CLI).

IPFS RPC APIs Documnets: https://docs.ipfs.io/reference/kubo/rpc

Source Code: https://github.com/837477/IPyFS

IPyFS is a Python-based IPFS CLI.

The key features are:

• Base: IPyFS is built based on IPFS RPC APIs.
• Easy: It is designed to be easy to use and learn. You can simply refer to the IPFS RPC APIs document.

Requirements

Python 3.7+

IPyFS stands on the shoulders of giants:

• IPFS Daemon for the IPFS server.
• Requests For communication with IPFS Daemon.

It's so obvious! Since IPyFS is a Python-based IPFS CLI, IPFS Server must be running.

Installation

$ pip install ipyfs

Example

Simple IPyFS usage

from ipyfs import Files, Swarm  # + Etc.

# Host and port can be modified for each IPyFS controller.
files = Files(
    host="http://localhost",  # Set IPFS Daemon Host
    port=5001  # Set IPFS Daemon Port
)
swarm = Swarm(
    host="http://sample.ipyfs.com",  # Set IPFS Daemon Host
    port=7477  # Set IPFS Daemon Port
)

The parameters of the IPyFS module are designed to be almost identical to the parameters of the IPFS RPC APIs.

Example of NFT Metadata Upload

• You can check it in the sample.py file.

"""
Example of NFT Metadata Upload
"""
from ipyfs import Files
import json


# You can customize the host and port on any controller.
files = Files(
    host="http://localhost",  # Set IPFS Daemon Host
    port=5001  # Set IPFS Daemon Port
)

# Read the file and upload it to IPFS.
with open("ipyfs.png", "rb") as f:
    files.write(
        path=f"/{f.name}",
        file=f,
        create=True
    )

# Get the information of the uploaded file.
info = files.stat('/ipyfs.png')

# Generate NFT metadata.
metadata = {
    "name": "Sample NFT",
    "description": "Sample NFT Description",
    "image": f"ipfs://{info['result']['Hash']}"
}

# Upload the NFT metadata to IPFS.
files.write(
    path="/metadata.json",
    file=json.dumps(metadata),
    create=True
)

IPyFS is basically the same as the parameters of IPFS RPC APIs.

Let's practice together !
If you want to list the file in your IPFS Daemon:

• Here is the IPFS Files RPC API document: https://docs.ipfs.io/reference/kubo/rpc/#api-v0-files-ls

The document needs parameters arg / long / u.
Likewise, IPyFS can use the same parameters. (path / long / u)
However, they are not exactly the same. In RPC, most parameter names are used as arg.

This is not a good way.
Therefore, IPyFS has slightly changed parameter names to suit their functions.

Importantly, only the name has changed, the purpose of the parameter is the same.

from ipyfs import Files


files = Files(
    host="http://localhost",  # Set IPFS Daemon Host
    port=5001  # Set IPFS Daemon Port
)

result = files.ls(
    path="/",
    long=True
)
print(result)

If you want to know what each parameter is, please refer to the IPFS RPC API documentation.
