    })
})()

REQUEST

import { store } from 'aleph-sdk-ts'

(async() => {
    var my_buffer = await store.Get({
        fileHash: 'QmQkv43jguT5HLC8TPbYJi2iEmr4MgLgu4nmBoR4zjYb3L',
        APIServer: 'https://api2.aleph.im'
      })

Example: Retrieve from an API server

If stored on aleph storage:

// https://<FILE API_SERVER>/api/v0/storage/raw/<FILE ITEM HASH HERE>

https://api2.aleph.im/api/v0/storage/raw/QmQkv43jguT5HLC8TPbYJi2iEmr4MgLgu4nmBoR4zjYb3L

If stored on ipfs compatible server, the file is also available on:

// https://ipfs.io/ipfs/<FILE ITEM HASH HERE>
