Download mscz files via IPFS HTTP Gateways

• https://ipfs.io/{ref}
• https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/{ref}
• more

#!/bin/bash
while IFS=, read -r id ref
do
    if [ -f "$id.mscz" ]; then
        echo "$id.mscz exists."
    else
        echo "$id.mscz does not exist."
        wget -nv --read-timeout=3 https://ipfs.io$ref -O $id.mscz
    fi
done < <(sed '1d' mscz-files.csv)

Using CURL

#!/bin/bash
while IFS=, read -r id ref
do
    if [ -f "$id.mscz" ]; then
        echo "$id.mscz exists."
    else
        echo "$id.mscz does not exist."
        curl -\# -f https://ipfs.io$ref -o $id.mscz -m 3
    fi
done < <(sed '1d' mscz-files.csv)

Or using local IPFS daemon

#!/bin/bash

# Install IPFS https://docs.ipfs.io/how-to/command-line-quick-start/#install-ipfs

ipfs daemon --init &

while IFS=, read -r id ref
do
    ipfs get $ref -o $id.mscz
done < <(sed '1d' mscz-files.csv)

Help hosting files

You could help musescore-dataset become more accessible by:

• Hosting (ipfs pin) those mscz files on your own IPFS nodes

  #!/bin/bash
  while IFS=, read -r id ref
  do
      ipfs pin add -r --progress $ref
  done < <(sed '1d' mscz-files.csv)

  or,

• Asking a public IPFS gateway to periodically fetch and cache file requests

  #!/bin/bash
  # run in a cron job
  while IFS=, read -r id ref
  do
      echo "fetching $id.mscz"
      curl -\# -f https://ipfs.io$ref -o $id.mscz -m 0.5
      rm -f $id.mscz
  done < <(sed '1d' mscz-files.csv | shuf)

The purpose of the project is to make the data of musescore.com accessible to anyone in need, and bring a clean and high-quality music dataset to the world of computer science, but not for individuals who only want to keep the data pointlessly.
