ARKCloud IPFS

Keywords: arkcloud, ARKCloud, arkcloud-ipfs, ARK Cloud, OpenClaw skill, CowAgent skill, Claude Code skill, IPFS, CID, file.arklink.hk, decentralized storage, upload API.

Use ARKCloud's token-protected upload API. Do not call or expose the raw Kubo API or gateway API. Public uploads must go through /api/upload.

Configuration

• ARKCLOUD_BASE_URL: optional, defaults to https://file.arklink.hk.
• ARKCLOUD_UPLOAD_TOKEN: bearer token for POST /api/upload.
• ARKCLOUD_CLIENT_COOKIE: optional browser/client session cookie for client APIs.
• ARKCLOUD_CSRF_TOKEN: optional CSRF token for client upload/delete APIs.

Never print, store, or commit plaintext tokens, session cookies, admin tokens, wallet private keys, seed phrases, or .env files. If the user asks to upload secrets, warn them and ask for confirmation before proceeding.

Upload A File

Use the bearer-token upload helper for normal file uploads:

python <base_dir>/scripts/arkcloud_upload.py /path/to/file

The helper posts to POST /api/upload with Authorization: Bearer <ARKCLOUD_UPLOAD_TOKEN> and returns JSON containing:

• cid
• bytes
• credits_charged
• credits_remaining
• filename
• duplicate
• short_url
• url

If duplicate is true, ARKCloud returned an existing upload record and charged 0 credits.

After a successful upload, show the user these fields in this order:

• CID: use cid
• 文件名: use filename
• 大小: use bytes
• 链接: use url
• 消耗积分: use credits_charged
• 剩余积分: use credits_remaining

Prompt the user to open the link when they want to view or share the uploaded file. In user-facing copy, call it the access link, file link, or simply 链接.

Upload A Folder

Folder upload requires a logged-in client session because it uses POST /api/client/upload/folder with CSRF protection.

python <base_dir>/scripts/arkcloud_upload.py /path/to/folder --folder

If ARKCLOUD_CLIENT_COOKIE or ARKCLOUD_CSRF_TOKEN is missing, tell the user to upload the folder from https://file.arklink.hk/ or provide a valid client session and CSRF token. Do not attempt to bypass this through raw IPFS endpoints.

List Uploads

Listing uploads requires a logged-in client session:

python <base_dir>/scripts/arkcloud_list.py

It calls GET /api/client/uploads and prints the upload records as JSON.

Check Health

Use the health helper before retrying an upload when the service may be unavailable:

python <base_dir>/scripts/arkcloud_health.py

It calls GET /api/health and prints the service response as JSON.

Delete Or Unpublish Uploads

Deleting uploads requires a logged-in client session and CSRF token:

python <base_dir>/scripts/arkcloud_delete.py <upload_id>

It calls DELETE /api/client/uploads/{upload_id}. Treat this as destructive: confirm with the user before deleting unless they explicitly asked for deletion.

Error Handling

• Missing ARKCLOUD_UPLOAD_TOKEN: ask the user to configure a token from the ARKCloud wallet/client UI.
• 401 or 403: token/session is missing, expired, inactive, or lacks CSRF.
• Insufficient credits: report credits_required and credits_balance if present.
• File too large or invalid path: report the path and avoid retrying unchanged.
• Service unavailable: check GET /api/health or ask whether to retry later.
