What
Adds
tools/generate-public-ipfs-gateways.py, an automated generator for the previously hand-maintainedlists/public-ipfs-gateways/list.json(frozen since 2025-03-19), and registers it ingenerate_all.sh.Source
The requested source, https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/, is a client-side JS SPA and cannot be scraped with
requests. It renders from two JSON data files in the same GitHub repo, which the generator fetches directly:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ipfs/public-gateway-checker/main/gateways.jsonhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/ipfs/public-gateway-checker/main/onion-gateways.jsonBoth verified to return HTTP 200 with small JSON arrays of gateway origin URLs (e.g.
"https://ipfs.filebase.io").Normalization
Each entry is parsed with
urlparse(...).hostnameto strip scheme, port, path and any legacy:hashplaceholder, then lowercased and trailing-dot-stripped, matching the bare-hostname shape already used by the existing list (type: string,matching_attributes: domain/hostname/domain|ip/url/uri).Important: list size will shrink significantly (89 -> 14)
This is a genuine upstream change, not a bug. Upstream commit
73103999("chore: trim gateway list", 2026-08-21) deliberately removedipfs.io,dweb.link, andtrustless-gateway.linkbecause bots/scrapers were probing all three shared-backend hostnames, tripling non-organic load; commit782d89aaremoved further dead gateways. Only 3 of the original 89 MISP entries survive unchanged (4everland.io,gateway.pinata.cloud,ipfs.cyou);storry.tvsurvives as a rename (ipfs.storry.tv). This PR (script + generate_all.sh only, per the intended two-PR split) does not itself changelist.jsoncontent review scope, but running the generator will produce a much smaller list — flagging this explicitly for review rather than shipping it silently.Validation
