Downloading

Files uploaded via irys upload-dir can be retrieved in one of two ways.

  1. Creating a URL with the format https://gateway.irys.xyz/[manifest-id]/[original-file-name].
  2. Creating a URL using the transaction ID of each individual file uploaded with the format https://gateway.irys.xyz/[transacton-id]

After a successful folder upload, two files are written to your local project directory:

  • [folder_name].csv
  • [folder_name].json

The example below highlights a folder called “llama_folder” with a total of 5 files in it. The transaction id for each file can be used to retrieve the uploaded data by forming a URL with the format https://gateway.irys.xyz]/[transaction-id]
