Lassie is a simple retrieval client for Filecoin. It finds and fetches your data over the best retrieval protocols available. Lassie makes Filecoin retrieval.

Unless you are developer, the simplest way to install Lassie is to download a binary for your machine from the Lassie releases page

Alternatively, you can clone the repository and build from source by running:

go build ./cmd/lassie

The simplest way to use lassie it to just run the CLI with the fetch command:

lassie fetch <CID>

This will output to a CAR file with the name of the CID in the current directory.

For additional command options and parameters, use the --help, -h CLI option.

An HTTP server to fetch content over HTTP can also be started via the daemon command.

$ lassie daemon

The HTTP specification doc outlines the request and response formats.

For additional command options and parameters, use the --help, -h CLI option.
