MyspaceIPFS.Api is where the main commands of the IPFS API reside. Alias this library and you can run the commands via Api.<cmd_name>.
## Examples

iex> Api.get("Multihash_key")

Types
The structure of a normal error response from the node.
The file system path to the file to be sent to the node.
The structure of a normal response from the node.
The name of the file or data to be sent to the node.
The structure of a JSON response from the node.
The options to be sent to the node. These are dependent on the endpoint
The path to the endpoint to be hit. For example, /add
or /cat
.
It's called path because sometimes the MultiHash is not enough to
identify the resource, and a path is needed, eg. /ipns/myspace.bahner.com
The structure of a JSON response from the node.
Functions
Add a file to IPFS.
Get the contents of a file from ipfs. Easy way to get the contents of a text file for instance.
Start the IPFS daemon.
Get a file or directory from IPFS. As it stands ipfs sends a text blob back, so we need to implement a way to get the file extracted and saved to disk. The default name is the CID or the basename of the IPNS or IPFS path.
Show the id of the IPFS node.
List the files in an IPFS object.
Mount an IPFS read-only mountpoint.
Ping a peer.
Resolve the value of names to IPFS.
Shutdown the IPFS daemon.

Start the IPFS daemon.
You should run this before any other command, but it's probably easier to do outside of the library.

Get a file or directory from IPFS. As it stands ipfs sends a text blob back, so we need to implement a way to get the file extracted and saved to disk. The default name is the CID or the basename of the IPNS or IPFS path.
NB! Unsafe (relative symlinks) will raise an error.
Compression is not implemented yet.
