IPFS Race

Resolve an IPFS path using multiple gateways and methods to get data the fastest.

npm i ipfs-race

import {resolve} from "ipfs-race";

resolve("QmaiJczLW9X1Gk7rQH7CgYCuquLZMbdWB6hhqznDBoqdLE")
  .then(({response, urlResolvedFrom}) => {
    console.log("received data first from: ", urlResolvedFrom);
    console.log("data: ", await response.json());
  })
  .catch(console.error);

Node-Fetch Support

If using this library in <16.x.x versions of node on a backend and not a browser, then you will need to use node-fetch. However, only versions <=2.6.6 will work automatically. If you are using >2.6.6 then you will need to pass in your fetch function manually.

import {resolve} from "ipfs-race";
import fetch from "node-fetch";

resolve("QmaiJczLW9X1Gk7rQH7CgYCuquLZMbdWB6hhqznDBoqdLE", {fetchOverride: fetch})
  .then(...)
  .catch(console.error);
