When pay-by-requester is enabled for a bucket in Object Storage Service (OSS), the requester is charged the requests and traffic fees instead of the bucket owner. The bucket owner is charged only the storage fees. You can enable pay-by-requester for a bucket to share data in the bucket without paying for the request and traffic fees incurred by the access to your bucket.
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 Initialization.
To enable pay-by-requester, you must have the
oss:PutBucketRequestPayment
permission. To query the pay-by-requester configurations, you must have theoss:GetBucketRequestPayment
permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.
Enable pay-by-requester
The following code provides an example on how to enable pay-by-requester for a bucket:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/aliyun/aliyun-oss-go-sdk/oss"
)
func main() {
// 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.
provider, err := oss.NewEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// Create an OSSClient instance.
// 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. Specify your actual endpoint.
// 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. Specify the actual region.
clientOptions := []oss.ClientOption{oss.SetCredentialsProvider(&provider)}
clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.Region("yourRegion"))
// Specify the version of the signature algorithm.
clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.AuthVersion(oss.AuthV4))
client, err := oss.New("yourEndpoint", "", "", clientOptions...)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("New Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// Initialize the pay-by-requester mode.
reqPayConf := oss.RequestPaymentConfiguration{
Payer: "Requester",
}
// Enable pay-by-requester for the bucket.
err = client.SetBucketRequestPayment("<yourBucketName>", reqPayConf)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
}
Query the pay-by-requester configurations of a bucket
The following code provides an example on how to query the pay-by-requester configurations of a bucket:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"github.com/aliyun/aliyun-oss-go-sdk/oss"
)
func main() {
// 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.
provider, err := oss.NewEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// Create an OSSClient instance.
// 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. Specify your actual endpoint.
// 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. Specify the actual region.
clientOptions := []oss.ClientOption{oss.SetCredentialsProvider(&provider)}
clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.Region("yourRegion"))
// Specify the version of the signature algorithm.
clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.AuthVersion(oss.AuthV4))
client, err := oss.New("yourEndpoint", "", "", clientOptions...)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// Query the pay-by-requester configurations of the bucket.
ret, err := client.GetBucketRequestPayment("yourBucketName")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// Display the pay-by-requester configurations of the bucket.
fmt.Println("Bucket request payer:", ret.Payer)
}
Specify that third parties are charged when they access objects
If you specify that third parties are charged for access to objects in a bucket, requesters must include the x-oss-request-payer:requester header in the HTTP requests to perform operations on your objects. If this header is not included, an error is returned.
The following code provides an example on how to specify that third parties are charged when they access objects by calling the PutObject, GetObject, and DeleteObject operations. You can use the method to specify that third parties are charged when they perform read and write operations on objects by calling other API operations in the similar way.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"io"
"os"
"strings"
"github.com/aliyun/aliyun-oss-go-sdk/oss"
)
func main() {
// 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.
provider, err := oss.NewEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// Create an OSSClient instance.
// 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. Specify your actual endpoint.
// 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. Specify the actual region.
clientOptions := []oss.ClientOption{oss.SetCredentialsProvider(&provider)}
clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.Region("yourRegion"))
// Specify the version of the signature algorithm.
clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.AuthVersion(oss.AuthV4))
payerClient, err := oss.New("yourEndpoint", "", "", clientOptions...)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("New Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// Specify the name of the bucket.
payerBucket, err := payerClient.Bucket("examplebucket")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// If the bucket owner enables the pay-by-requester mode, requesters must include the oss.RequestPayer(oss.Requester) parameter in the requests to access the authorized content.
// If the bucket owner does not enable the pay-by-requester mode, requesters do not need to include the oss.RequestPayer(oss.Requester) parameter in the requests to access the authorized content.
// Upload an object.
// Specify the full path of the object. Do not include the bucket name in the full path. Example: exampledir/exampleobject.txt.
key := "exampledir/exampleobject.txt"
err = payerBucket.PutObject(key, strings.NewReader("objectValue"), oss.RequestPayer("requester"))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("put Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// List all objects in the bucket.
lor, err := payerBucket.ListObjects(oss.RequestPayer(oss.Requester))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// Display the names of objects in the bucket.
for _, l := range lor.Objects {
fmt.Println("the Key name is :", l.Key)
}
// Download the object.
body, err := payerBucket.GetObject(key, oss.RequestPayer(oss.Requester))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Get Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
// You must close the obtained stream after the object is read. Otherwise, connection leaks may occur. Consequently, no connections are available and an exception occurs.
defer body.Close()
// Read and display the obtained content.
data, err := io.ReadAll(body)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
fmt.Println("data:", string(data))
// Delete the object.
err = payerBucket.DeleteObject(key, oss.RequestPayer(oss.Requester))
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}
}
