Bucket tagging - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

You can use tags to identify Object Storage Service (OSS) buckets that are used for different purposes and manage these buckets.

Usage notes

In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see OSS regions and endpoints.
In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Initialization.
Only the bucket owner and users who are granted the oss:PutBucketTagging permission can configure tags for buckets. If other users attempt to configure tags for buckets, the 403 Forbidden message that contains the AccessDenied error code is returned.
You can configure up to 20 tags (key-value pairs) for each bucket.
The key and value of a tag must be encoded in UTF-8.
The key can be up to 64 characters in length. It is case-sensitive and cannot be empty. The key cannot start with http://, https://, or Aliyun. These prefixes are not case-sensitive.
The value of a tag can be up to 128 characters in length and can be empty.

Configure tags for a bucket

The following code provides an example on how to configure tags for a bucket named examplebucket:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;

// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.
const string region = "cn-hangzhou";
            
// Create a ClientConfiguration instance and modify parameters as required.
var conf = new ClientConfiguration();
            
// Use the signature algorithm V4.
 conf.SignatureVersion = SignatureVersion.V4;
            
// Create an OSSClient instance.
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret, conf);
c.SetRegion(region);
try
{
    // Configure tags for the bucket. 
    var setRequest = new SetBucketTaggingRequest(bucketName);

    var tag1 = new Tag
    {
        Key = "project",
        Value = "projectone"
    };

    var tag2 = new Tag
    {
        Key = "user",
        Value = "jsmith"
    };

    setRequest.AddTag(tag1);
    setRequest.AddTag(tag2);    
    client.SetBucketTagging(setRequest);
    Console.WriteLine("Set bucket:{0} Tagging succeeded ", bucketName);
}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error code: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}

Query tags of a bucket

The following code provides an example on how to query the tags of a bucket named examplebucket:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;

// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. 
var bucketName = "examplebucket";
// Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.
const string region = "cn-hangzhou";
            
// Create a ClientConfiguration instance and modify parameters as required.
var conf = new ClientConfiguration();
            
// Use the signature algorithm V4.
 conf.SignatureVersion = SignatureVersion.V4;
            
// Create an OSSClient instance.
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret, conf);
c.SetRegion(region);
try
{
    // Query tags of the bucket. 
    var result = client.GetBucketTagging(bucketName);
    Console.WriteLine("Get bucket:{0} tagging succeeded ", bucketName);

    for (var i = 0; i < result.Tags.Count; i++) {
        Console.WriteLine("bucket tagging key: {0}; bucket tagging value: {1}", result.Tags[i].Key, result.Tags[i].Value);
    }
}
catch (OssException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error code: {0}; Error info: {1}. \nRequestID:{2}\tHostID:{3}",
        ex.ErrorCode, ex.Message, ex.RequestId, ex.HostId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Failed with error info: {0}", ex.Message);
}

List buckets that have a specific tag

The following code provides an example on how to list the buckets with a specific tag:

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;
// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured.
