IPFS HTTP Gateway API

name: IPFS HTTP Gateway API
description: The IPFS HTTP Gateway API is an implementation-agnostic interface for retrieving content-addressed
  data from IPFS over standard HTTP. Path gateways expose /ipfs/{cid} and /ipns/{name} namespaces, supporting
  GET and HEAD requests with content negotiation for raw blocks, CAR streams, TAR archives, JSON, and
  CBOR. The IPFS Foundation operates public gateways at ipfs.io (path), dweb.link (subdomain), and trustless-gateway.link
  (trustless/verifiable only) on a best-effort basis. HTTP Range requests are supported up to 5 GB.
