Web3 Storage

API

Free decentralized cloud storage with 1TB space for Web3 projects

Overview

Web3 Storage provides RESTful API endpoints for decentralized file management, leveraging IPFS for content addressing and Filecoin for long-term durability. Key endpoints include file uploads (POST), retrieval via CID (GET), listing user uploads, and checking storage status. Responses are in JSON format, with files referenced by unique IPFS Content Identifiers (CIDs). Ideal use cases: storing NFT metadata, dApp assets, user-generated content for Web3 apps, and secure backups. It integrates seamlessly with Web3 tools, supporting both programmatic and manual uploads for developers and users.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://web3.storage/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
