Computes an IPFS Content Identifier (CID) for given content via a POST request

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability ipfs-cid-generator-c4ddcebc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you compute the IPFS CID for this JSON data: {"name": "Alice", "role": "admin"}?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to compute an IPFS CID for arbitrary content without running a local IPFS node or uploading data to a remote pinning service. Ideal for pre-computing content addresses before pinning, verifying content integrity, or generating deterministic identifiers for Web3 workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed 'input' body causes validation error
- Unsupported HTTP method (only POST, PUT, PATCH accepted) returns schema error
- Empty body object may produce unexpected or empty CID
- Service unavailable due to Cloudflare tunnel timeout or cold start
- Malformed JSON in body returns parsing error

## How this service works

opentools utility endpoint

## Output

Returns the computed IPFS Content Identifier (CID) for the provided input content, enabling deterministic content addressing without requiring a running IPFS node or upload.
