📍 Api

Utility library written in Python to convert Swarm hex references into Swarm CIDs.

The swarm-cid library provides the following functions:

encode_reference(reference, type, version)

Encodes a reference string into a CID.

• reference: The reference string to encode.
• type: The type of the reference (either ReferenceType.MANIFEST or ReferenceType.FEED).
• version: The version of the CID (either 1 or 2). Returns a CID string.

decode_cid(cid)

Decodes a CID string into a dictionary containing information about the underlying data.

• cid: The CID string to decode.

Returns a dictionary with the following keys:

• reference: The reference string extracted from the CID.
• type: The type of the reference (either ReferenceType.MANIFEST or ReferenceType.FEED).

decode_feed_cid(cid)

Decodes a CID string into a feed reference string.

• cid: The CID string to decode. Returns a feed reference string.

decode_manifest_cid(cid)

Decodes a CID string into a manifest reference string.

• cid: The CID string to decode. Returns a manifest reference string.

encode_feed_reference(reference)

Encodes a feed reference string into a CID.

• reference: The feed reference string to encode. Returns a CID string.

encode_manifest_reference(reference)

Encodes a manifest reference string into a CID.

• reference: The manifest reference string to encode.
