Storing Data on CZAR

Now that you have your CZAR environment set up, let's explore how to store data on the CZAR network. CZAR uses a simple and efficient process for storing information on its decentralized storage platform.

Storing Data

1. Using the CZAR CLI:

   CZAR provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) that simplifies the process of storing data. To store a file, use the following command:

   bashCopy codeczar store path/to/your/file.txt

   Replace path/to/your/file.txt with the actual path to the file you want to store.

2. Via HTTP API:

   CZAR also offers a straightforward HTTP API for interacting with the network programmatically. You can use the /store endpoint to submit data for storage.

   Example using cURL:

   bashCopy codecurl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"data": "Your data goes here"}' http://localhost:1984/store

   Adjust the data field with the content you want to store.

Retrieving Data

Once data is stored on CZAR, you can retrieve it easily using the provided methods:

1. Using the CZAR CLI:

   To retrieve a file, use the following command:

   bashCopy codeczar retrieve <transaction_id> path/to/destination/file.txt

   Replace <transaction_id> with the actual transaction ID of the stored data.

2. Via HTTP API:

   Utilize the /retrieve endpoint to fetch data through the HTTP API.

   Example using cURL:

   bashCopy codecurl -X GET http://localhost:1984/retrieve/<transaction_id> -o path/to/destination/file.txt

   Replace <transaction_id> with the transaction ID of the data you want to retrieve.
