Bucket tagging - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Bucket tags allow you to classify and manage buckets. For example, you can specify to list only buckets with specific tags when you call the ListBucket operation.

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 Regions, endpoints and open ports.
In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.
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 Create an OSSClient instance.

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:
