How this service works
IPFS fetch / IPFS gateway / Web3 storage retrieval / NFT metadata fetcher / Filecoin gateway / decentralized content / pinned-content reader. Resolves a CID (CIDv0 Qm... or CIDv1 bafy...) and optional sub-path through a fallback chain of public gateways (cloudflare-ipfs.com to ipfs.io to dweb.link) and returns the content as base64 / text / parsed JSON. Hard cap 5 MB. HEAD pre-flight + streaming size cap so oversized files are rejected before they're fully downloaded. No API key required.
Output
Returns the resolved content of the IPFS CID as base64, plain text, or parsed JSON depending on the detected content type. Also includes content size and metadata. Files exceeding 5 MB are rejected before full download via HEAD pre-flight check.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you fetch the content at IPFS CID bafybeigdyrzt5sfp7udm7hu76uh7y26nf3efuylqabf3oclgtqy55fbzdi and return it as parsed JSON?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402-deployer.x402-deployer.workers.dev/ipfs-fetchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to resolve IPFS CIDs without running a local IPFS node, especially for NFT metadata, Web3 content, or pinned files. The fallback gateway chain (Cloudflare → ipfs.io → dweb.link) provides resilience over a single-gateway approach. Prefer over manual gateway calls when you want automatic fallback, size-safety enforcement, and structured output (base64/text/JSON) in one call.
Side effects
- CID not found on any gateway in the fallback chain — 404 or timeout
- Content exceeds 5 MB hard cap — rejected after HEAD pre-flight
- Invalid or malformed CID format — validation error
- All gateways unreachable or rate-limited — upstream error
- Sub-path does not exist within the resolved content — path error
