🚀 How It Works
Fileship transparently queries all public IPFS gateways and redirects you to the first successful response. ⛵
Preservation
Every request is automatically archived on web.archive.org to help preserve digital art and culture.
🌐 Retrieve an archive from IPFS
javascript
const cid = "QmXAdLcJVPxE7jqWCweNyPUVSTQoq4WQhymyyxVrT8h7hG"
const url = `https://ipfs.fileship.xyz/${cid}`
// Direct access
fetch(url).then(response => console.log('File available:', response.ok))
//url: https://ipfs.fileship.xyz/QmXAdLcJVPxE7jqWCweNyPUVSTQoq4WQhymyyxVrT8h7hG📁 Recover a file from web archive
This will serve you the latest snapshot of that CID on web.archive.org.
javascript
const cid = "QmXAdLcJVPxE7jqWCweNyPUVSTQoq4WQhymyyxVrT8h7hG"
const url = `https://archive.fileship.xyz/${cid}`
// Archive recovery
fetch(url).then(response => console.log('Archive found:', response.ok))
//url: https://archive.fileship.xyz/QmXAdLcJVPxE7jqWCweNyPUVSTQoq4WQhymyyxVrT8h7hGWARNING
Please avoid using the “web archive” in production. It is a very slow and unstable method, and should only be used to recover a deleted file from IPFS. Instead, use Retrieve an archive from IPFS.
💾 Check if a CID is archived
Verify if a CID exists in the web archive. Returns 200 if archived, 404 if not found.
javascript
const cid = "QmXAdLcJVPxE7jqWCweNyPUVSTQoq4WQhymyyxVrT8h7hG"
const url = `https://archived.fileship.xyz/${cid}`
// Quick check
const isArchived = await fetch(url).then(res => res.ok)
console.log(`CID is archived: ${isArchived}`)
// With response details
const response = await fetch(url)
if (response.ok) {
console.log("CID is archived")
} else {
console.log("CID not found in archive")
}
//url: https://archived.fileship.xyz/QmXAdLcJVPxE7jqWCweNyPUVSTQoq4WQhymyyxVrT8h7hG
