== Description ==

Download sample legacy file formats from the UK Web Archive Shine service based on a file's first four bytes (FFB).

Shine's public interface enables searching for sample files using a file's first four-bytes, if they are known. This utility uses the same GET request to build a set of files to download, or return a single example, which can then be requested using '''wget'''. Examples are provided in the tool's [https://github.com/exponential-decay/moonshine/blob/master/README.md README.md]. [https://github.com/exponential-decay/moonshine/releases Releases] are available in all major platform. Issues and pull-requests to improve its stability are welcome. Please use responsibly and don't needlessly poll the Shine service!
