IPFS Delegated Routing V1 HTTP API

The Delegated Routing V1 HTTP API allows IPFS clients to offload content routing, peer routing, and IPNS resolution to a remote server without running a full DHT node. Endpoints include provider lookup by CID (/routing/v1/providers/{cid}), peer record lookup by Peer ID (/routing/v1/peers/{peer-id}), IPNS name resolution and publication (/routing/v1/ipns/{name}), and optional DHT closest-peers queries (/routing/v1/dht/closest/peers/{key}). The IPFS Foundation operates a public delegated routing endpoint at delegated-ipfs.dev.
