Profiles API makes it easy to add social user profiles and basic reputation to your Ethereum application. With profiles, your users no longer need to interact with robotic hexadecimal addresses, but can begin to enjoy a more usable, familiar, and human web3 experience.

3Box profile data is stored in a decentralized IPFS datastore that is controlled by the user, so data is secure and can be shared across various apps and services.

// Read profile data

const profile = await Box.getProfile(<ethereum-address>)

console.log(profile)

// Output:

// {

//   name: 'mollie the narwhal',

//   emoji: 😋

// }

const name = await box.public.get('name')

console.log(name)

// Output:

// 'mollie the narwhal'

const email = await box.private.get('email')

console.log(email)

// Output:

// 'mollyíe@3box.io'

// Update public profile data

await box.public.set('name', 'Molly the Narwhal')

// Update encrypted profile data

await box.private.set('email', 'narwhal@3box.io')

Storage API makes it easy to store data and content specific to your application directly with your user in a secure, sandboxed environment. With decentralized storage, developers can build lighterweight applications and reduce data management risk, while users enjoy more trust in the services they use.

3Box storage API saves data to an OrbitDB key-value datastore that is controlled by the user, so the user can consent to their data being shared with other apps and services.

// Read space data

const spaceData = await Box.getSpace(<eth-address>, 'myApp')

// Open space for writing

const myAppSpace = await box.openSpace('myApp')

// Update public space data

await myAppSpace.public.set('favorite-nft', 'Space Narwhal')

// Update encrypted space data

await myAppSpace.private.set('last used', 'id-of-last-used-item')
