Once the server is running, you can add archives (make sure you are hosting them over Dat). Send a POST request with YOUR_DAT_KEY:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"key":"YOUR_DAT_KEY"}' http://127.0.0.1:8080/add

API

var hyperarchiver = Hyperarchiver(opts)

Create a hypercore-archiver and attach the archiver-server and archiver-api. Hyperarchiver doesn't do much besides glue those three modules together.

opts = {
  dir: 'archives', // required
  swarm: true, // join dat swarm.
  archiveHttp: true, // serve archives over http
  datPort: 3282, // port for dat swarm
}

• hyperarchiver.api is archiver-api
• hyperarchiver.dat is archiver-server
• hyperarchiver.archiver is hypercore-archiver

See cli.js for example usage.
