DOCUMENTATION / GETTING STARTED

Retrieve. Inspect.
Verify.

Use standard HTTP tools to download a resource and check its integrity.

01 / DOWNLOAD

Save the three sample files.

The download library contains a README, a small JSON document and their checksum manifest. Save all three in the same directory and keep the original filenames.

curl -fSLO /downloads/README.txt
curl -fSLO /downloads/example.json
curl -fSLO /downloads/SHA256SUMS
02 / VERIFY

Compare the checksums.

On Linux with GNU coreutils, run:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

Both files should report OK. On macOS, use shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS. On Windows, use Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 .\example.json in PowerShell and compare the hash with the manifest.

03 / INTEGRATE

Use the supplied resource URL.

Public resources support GET and HEAD requests. Preserve the URL path and filename exactly. A 404 response means that the requested resource is not available at that path.

Examples are public and require no credentials. Never include passwords, access tokens or personal data in a public sample URL.
