Listing your files

After you have uploaded a file. You will probably want to list all of your files. To do so just copy and paste your API key into the code example on the right.

Once you do so, here is an example of the output:

 "42": {
"id": 36534620,
"updatedAt": "2022-09-06T22:21:08.039349Z",
"cid": "bafybeicgpnok4bl2rkf4ceojlb376henq6f6ufwqqvyyzmuo4xloxypuwm",
"name": "nature-6.mp4",
"userId": 243,
"description": "",
"size": 83073242,
"type": 0,
"active": true,
"offloaded": false,
"replication": 6,
"aggregatedIn": 0,
"aggregate": false,
"pinning": false,
"pinMeta": "",
"replace": false,
"origins": "",
"failed": false,
"location": "SHUTTLE1f8fbb04-44c2-41a2-a8ac-d3057589dd93HANDLE",
"dagSplit": false,
"splitFrom": 0
},

You can use the CID to retrieve the file immediately by using an IPFS Gateway. Here is an example:

The general format for accessing your content by CID is as follows: https://api.estuary.tech/gw/ipfs/YOUR_DESIRED_CID
