| info: | Asynchronous IPFS client library |
|---|
aioipfs is a python3 library providing an asynchronous API for IPFS. Supported python versions: 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9
pip install aioipfsimport sys
import asyncio
import aioipfs
async def get(ipfshash):
client = aioipfs.AsyncIPFS()
await client.get(ipfshash, dstdir='.')
await client.close()
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(get(sys.argv[1]))
loop.close()This example will import all files and directories specified on the command line. Note that the add API function is an asynchronous generator and therefore needs to be used with the async for syntax.

await client.close()
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(add_files(sys.argv[1:]))

async with aioipfs.AsyncIPFS() as cli:
async for message in cli.pubsub.sub(topic):
print('Received message from', message['from'])
await cli.pubsub.pub(topic, message['data'])The aiofiles library is used to asynchronously write data retrieved from the IPFS daemon when using the /api/v0/get API call, to avoid blocking the event loop. TAR extraction is done in asyncio's threadpool.
