ipfs

I want to write a Go program that interacts with a remote IPFS client (kubo). Why is it so hard to find decent documentation that works? I'm not asking for complex stuff, something that shows how to upload a file, pin it, download it, using the kubo RPC interface.

(BTW, the interface documentation is so bad, it's as if the devs don;t want it to be used by outsiders.)

WTF, this is supposed to be a mature, infra project that other devs could build on.

@polluterofminds @stevedylandev.eth maybe you have something to point me to? It shouldn't;t be so hard, it's just a JSON-RPC interface, right?

Since ipfs has been developed in Go since forever, I would expect that there are simple, ready-to use examples. But nothing I have found works :-(

I read that I can get the OpenRPC schema if I call /rpc/v0, I get 404.

Where can I at least find the schema to build my own bindings?

I do! It is in typescript but maybe it will help https://github.com/PinataCloud/chi
