Verify archive data

All datasets have an associated SHA256 hash file which can be used to verify the integrity of the downloaded dataset. As some of the archives are quite large, this is useful to ensure the file you've downloaded matches the file maintained in the Hiro Archive.

After downloading an archive file and its associated shasum file, you can verify the integrity of the archive file like so:

$ 
echo "$(cat <SHASUM FILE> | awk '{print $1}')  <ARCHIVE FILE>" | shasum --check
Copy
[show output]
$ 
echo "$(cat mainnet-stacks-blockchain-api-latest.sha256 | awk '{print $1}')  mainnet-stacks-blockchain-api-latest.gz" | shasum --check
Copy
[show output]
