Get the application private key from a 12-word backup phrase and a name or ID-address. This is the private key used to sign data in Gaia, and its address is the Gaia bucket address. If you provide your encrypted backup phrase, you will be asked to decrypt it. If you provide a name instead of an ID-address, its ID-address will be queried automatically (note that this means that the name must already be registered).NOTE: This command does NOT verify whether or not the name or ID-address was created by the backup phrase. You should do this yourself via the `get_owner_keys`commandif you are not sure.There are two derivation paths emitted by this command: a `keyInfo` path and a `legacyKeyInfo`path. You should use the one that matches the Gaia hub read URL's address, if you have already signed in before. If not, then you should use the `keyInfo` path when possible.Example: // Specify -t for testnet export BACKUP_PHRASE="one race buffalo dynamic icon drip width lake extra forest fee kit" stx get_app_keys "$BACKUP_PHRASE" example.id.blockstack https://my.cool.dapp { "keyInfo": { "privateKey": "TODO", "address": "TODO" }, "legacyKeyInfo": { "privateKey": "90f9ec4e13fb9a00243b4c1510075157229bda73076c7c721208c2edca28ea8b", "address": "1Lr8ggSgdmfcb4764woYutUfFqQMjEoKHc" }, "ownerKeyIndex": 0 }
Get the list of owner private keys and ID-addresses from a 12-word backup phrase. Pass non-zero values for INDEX to generate the sequence of ID-addresses that can be used to own Blockstack IDs.

Download the contents of a Gaia hub bucket to a given directory. The `GAIA_HUB` argument must correspond to the *write* endpoint of the Gaia hub -- that is, you should be able to fetch `$GAIA_HUB/hub_info`. If `DUMP_DIR` does not exist, it will be created.Example:export BACKUP_PHRASE="section amount spend resemble spray verify night immune tattoo best emotion parrot stx gaia_dump_bucket hello.id.blockstack https://sample.app https://hub.blockstack.org "$BACKUP_PHRASE" ./backups Download 3 files...

Get a file from another user's Gaia hub. Prints the file data to stdout. If you want to read an encrypted file, and/or verify a signed file, then you must pass an app private key, and pass 1 for `DECRYPT` and/or `VERIFY`. If the file is encrypted, and you do not pass an app private key, then this command downloads the ciphertext. If the file is signed, and you want to download its data and its signature, then you must run this command twice -- once to get the file contents at `FILENAME`, and once to get the signature (whose name will be `FILENAME`.sig).Gaia is a key-value store, so it does not have any built-in notion of directories. However, most underlying storage systems do -- directory separators in the name of a file in Gaia may be internally treated as first-class directories (it depends on the Gaia hub's driver).As such, repeated directory separators will be treated as a single directory separator by this command. For example, the file name `a/b.txt`, `/a/b.txt`, and `///a////b.txt` will be treated as identical.Example without encryption:# Get an unencrypted, unsigned file stx gaia_getfile ryan.id http://public.ykliao.com statuses.json [{"id":0,"text":"Hello, Blockstack!","created_at":1515786983492}]Example with encryption:# Get an encrypted file without decrypting stx gaia_getfile ryan.id https://app.graphitedocs.com documentscollection.json# Get an encrypted file, and decrypt it# Tip: You can obtain the app key with the get_app_keys commandexport APP_KEY="3ac770e8c3d88b1003bf4a0a148ceb920a6172bdade8e0325a1ed1480ab4fb19" stx gaia_getfile ryan.id https://app.graphitedocs.com documentscollection.json "$APP_KEY" 1 0
Put a file into a given Gaia hub, authenticating with the given app private key. Optionally encrypt and/or sign the data with the given app private key. If the file is successfully stored, this command prints out the URLs at which it can be fetched.Gaia is a key-value store, so it does not have any built-in notion of directories. However, most underlying storage systems do -- directory separators in the name of a file in Gaia may be internally treated as first-class directories (it depends on the Gaia hub's driver).As such, repeated directory separators will be treated as a single directory separator by this command. For example, the file name `a/b.txt`, `/a/b.txt`, and `///a////b.txt` will be treated as identical.Example: # Store 4 versions of a file: plaintext, encrypted, signed, and encrypted+signed # Tip: You can obtain the app key with the get_app_keys command. export APP_KEY="3ac770e8c3d88b1003bf4a0a148ceb920a6172bdade8e0325a1ed1480ab4fb19" stx gaia_putfile https://hub.blockstack.org "$APP_KEY" /path/to/file.txt file.txt { "urls": "https://gaia.blockstack.org/hub/19KAzYp4kSKozeAGMUsnuqkEGdgQQLEvwo/file.txt" } stx gaia_putfile https://hub.blockstack.org "$APP_KEY" /path/to/file.txt file-encrypted.txt 1 { "urls": "https://gaia.blockstack.org/hub/19KAzYp4kSKozeAGMUsnuqkEGdgQQLEvwo/file-encrypted.txt" } stx gaia_putfile https://hub.blockstack.org "$APP_KEY" /path/to/file.txt file-signed.txt 0 1 { "urls": "https://gaia.blockstack.org/hub/19KAzYp4kSKozeAGMUsnuqkEGdgQQLEvwo/file-signed.txt" } stx gaia_putfile https://hub.blockstack.org "$APP_KEY" /path/to/file.txt file-encrypted-signed.txt 1 1 { "urls": "https://gaia.blockstack.org/hub/19KAzYp4kSKozeAGMUsnuqkEGdgQQLEvwo/file-encrypted-signed.txt" }

List all the files in a Gaia hub bucket. You must have the private key forthe bucketin order to list its contents. The command prints each file name on its own line, and when finished, it prints the number of files listed.Example:# Tip: You can obtain the app key with the get_app_keys command.export APP_KEY="3ac770e8c3d88b1003bf4a0a148ceb920a6172bdade8e0325a1ed1480ab4fb19" stx gaia_listfiles "https://hub.blockstack.org""$APP_KEY" hello_world dir/format /.dotfile 3
Upload the contents of a previously-dumped Gaia bucket to a new Gaia hub. The `GAIA_HUB` argument must correspond to the *write* endpoint of the Gaia hub -- that is, you should be able to fetch `$GAIA_HUB/hub_info`. `DUMP_DIR` must contain the file contents created by a previous successful run of the gaia_dump_bucket command, and both `NAME_OR_ID_ADDRESS` and `APP_ORIGIN` must be the same as they were when it was run.Example:export BACKUP_PHRASE="section amount spend resemble spray verify night immune tattoo best emotion parrot" stx gaia_restore_bucket hello.id.blockstack https://sample.app https://new.gaia.hub "$BACKUP_PHRASE" ./backups Uploaded ./backups/hello_world to https://new.gaia.hub/hub/1Lr8ggSgdmfcb4764woYutUfFqQMjEoKHc/hello_world Uploaded ./backups/dir\x2fformat to https://new.gaia.hub/hub/1Lr8ggSgdmfcb4764woYutUfFqQMjEoKHc/dir/format Uploaded ./backups/\x2f.dotfile to https://new.gaia.hub/hub/1Lr8ggSgdmfcb4764woYutUfFqQMjEoKHc//.dotfile 3
Set the Gaia hub fora particular application for a Blockstack ID. If the command succeeds, the URLs to your updated profile will be printed and your profile will contain an entryin its "apps" key that links the given `APP_ORIGIN` to the given `APP_GAIA_HUB`.NOTE: Both `OWNER_GAIA_HUB` and `APP_GAIA_HUB` must be the *write* endpoints of their respective Gaia hubs.Your 12-word phrase (in either raw or encrypted form) is required to re-sign and store your profile and to generate an app-specific key and Gaia bucket. If you give the encrypted backup phrase, you will be prompted for a password.Example:export BACKUP_PHRASE="soap fog wealth upon actual blossom neither timber phone exile monkey vocal" stx gaia_sethub hello_world.id https://hub.blockstack.org https://my.cool.app https://my.app.gaia.hub "$BACKUP_PHRASE" {"profileUrls": {"error": null,"dataUrls": ["https://gaia.blockstack.org/hub/1ArdkA2oLaKnbNbLccBaFhEV4pYju8hJ82/profile.json" ] } }# You can check the new apps entry with curl and jq as follows: curl -sL https://gaia.blockstack.org/hub/1ArdkA2oLaKnbNbLccBaFhEV4pYju8hJ82/profile.json | jq ".[0].decodedToken.payload.claim.apps" {"https://my.cool.app": "https://my.app.gaia.hub/hub/1EqzyQLJ15KG1WQmi5cf1HtmSeqS1Wb8tY/" }
