Downloading

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

Creating an URL with the format https://gateway.irys.xyz/[manifest-id]/[original-file-name].
Creating an 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 an URL with the format https://gateway.irys.xyz]/[transaction-id]
