Stat IPFS object
IPFS
Stat IPFS object
Size, type, and block count for an IPFS object — no body transfer.
GET
Stat IPFS object
Returns metadata for an IPFS object without downloading it: its
cid, size,
cumulativeSize (total DAG size in bytes), type (file or dir), and blocks.
Useful to check size/type before fetching, e.g. NFT media.
Requires the IPFS add-on (
X-Api-Key). Node-only — there is no Blockfrost
fallback; if the self-hosted node is unavailable this returns 503.Example
Authorizations
API key (programmatic access — recommended)
Send your API key in the X-Api-Key header. Keys start with nxs_ and are
created in the dashboard (or via POST /api/keys with a session JWT).
Each key is scoped to one chain and one network (for example
cardano-mainnet), fixed at creation time. It cannot query a different network
on the same chain, and it cannot query a different chain at all. A mismatched
network parameter returns 400 Network Mismatch. Create one key per chain
and network under the same account.
This is the credential most integrations should use.
