Object Storage Service:Query the region of a bucket

Last Updated:Nov 06, 2024

A bucket is a container that is used to store objects in Object Storage Service (OSS). Every object is contained in a bucket. This topic describes how to query the region of a 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 query the region of a bucket, you must have the oss:GetBucketLocation permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

  • Versions 2.2.5 and above of Go SDK support all attributes included in the sample code below.

Sample code

The following sample code shows how to query the region or location of a bucket:

package main

import (
	"log"

	"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 {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to create credentials provider: %v", err)
	}

	// 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 {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to create OSS client: %v", err)
	}

	// Query the region of the bucket. 
	bucketName := "yourBucketName" // Name of the actual Endpoint
	loc, err := client.GetBucketLocation(bucketName)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to get bucket location: %v", err)
	}

	// Print the result.
	log.Printf("Bucket Location for '%s': %s", bucketName, loc)
}
