Deprecation: Public IPFS Gateway

· One min read

As outlined in an earlier post, we have sunset the public Moralis IPFS gateways which is referenced across our API.

This change means our token_uris will now return the on-chain tokenURI (e.g., ipfs:// links), instead of gateway URLs like https://ipfs.moralis.io.

Example:

  • Old format:
    • https://ipfs.moralis.io:2053/ipfs/QmdYeDpkVZedk1mkGodjNmF35UNxwafhFLVvsHrWgJoz6A/beanz_metadata/9933
  • New format:
    • ipfs://QmdYeDpkVZedk1mkGodjNmF35UNxwafhFLVvsHrWgJoz6A/beanz_metadata/9933

We already extract and normalize metadata (normalizeMetadata query parameter) as well as generate image previews, and this change will not impact these features. For developers requiring a specific IPFS gateway, we recommend exploring alternative providers.
