The “go-ipfs-api” is a now-deprecated Go interface for the IPFS HTTP API, designed to facilitate direct interaction with IPFS nodes via HTTP requests. Users are advised to transition to “kubo/client/rpc” for continued support and feature updates. For cases where “kubo/client/rpc” lacks functionalities present in “go-ipfs-api,” contributors are encouraged to raise an issue or submit a pull request to the Kubo repository. The installation process involves downloading the source code to the user’s GOPATH, and documentation is accessible through godocs, aligning with the Core API specifications. This library, previously utilized for tasks such as adding files to IPFS, is available under the MIT License. Users interested in further development or contributing to the IPFS ecosystem are welcome to participate in ongoing project improvements. For more information about the library’s deprecation, refer to ipfs/kubo#9124.
