Reading public data

It is possible to interact with IDX in a read-only manner by providing a known DID to read from, such as:

import { IDX } from '@ceramicstudio/idx'

// See constructor options

const idx = new IDX(...)

await idx.get('<Definition DocID>', '<Known DID>')

However, this only works if the content is public. If the content has been encrypted for a specific recipient, the Ceramic instance used by the IDX instance needs to be authenticated.

It is possible to check if the Ceramic instance is authenticated directly on the IDX instance:

if (idx.authenticated) {

await idx.get('<Definition DocID>')

}
