Initiate Multipart Upload

Last updated: 2024-09-26 16:50:11

    Overview

    This API is used to initialize a multipart upload. After a successful operation, UploadId will be returned, which can be used in subsequent Upload Part requests.
    Note: Only the root account or sub-accounts granted the permission of the Initiate Multipart Upload API can call this API.
    

    Request

    Sample request

    POST /<ObjectKey>?uploads HTTP/1.1
    Host: <BucketName-APPID>.cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com
    Date: GMT Date
    Content-Type: Content Type
    Content-Length: 0
    Authorization: Auth String
    Note:
    Host:<BucketName-APPID>.cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com, where <BucketName-APPID> is the is the bucket name followed by the APPID, such as examplebucket-1250000000 (see Bucket Overview > Basic Information and Bucket Overview > Bucket Naming Conventions), and <Region> is a COS region (see Regions and Access Endpoints).
    Authorization: Auth String (See Request Signature for details.)

    Request parameters

    This API has no request parameter.

    Request headers

    In addition to common request headers, this API also supports the following request headers. For more information about common request headers, please see Common Request Headers.
    Header
    Description
    Type
    Required
    Cache-Control
    Cache directives as defined in RFC 2616. It will be stored as object metadata.
    string
    No
    Content-Disposition
    Filename defined in RFC 2616. It will be stored as object metadata.
    string
    No
    Content-Encoding
    Encoding format as defined in RFC 2616. It will be stored as object metadata.
    string
    No
    Content-Type
    HTTP request content type (MIME) as defined in RFC 2616. This header describes the content type of the object to be uploaded and will be stored as object metadata.
    Example: text/html, image/jpeg
    string
    Yes
    Expires
    The cache expiration time as defined in RFC 2616. It will be stored as object metadata.
    string
    No
    x-cos-meta-*
    Contains user-defined metadata and header suffixes. It will be stored as object metadata. Maximum size: 2 KB.
    Note: User-defined metadata can contain underscores (_), whereas the header suffixes of user-defined metadata can only contain minus signs (−) but not underscores.
    string
    No
    x-cos-storage-class
    Object storage class. For the enumerated values, such as STANDARD (default), INTELLIGENT_TIERING, STANDARD_IA, ARCHIVE, and DEEP_ARCHIVE, please see Storage Class Overview.
    Enum
    No
    x-cos-tagging
    A set of up to 10 object tags (for example, Key1=Value1&Key2=Value2). Tag key and tag value in the set must be URL-encoded.
    string
    No
    x-cos-forbid-overwrite
    For a bucket which has never enabled versioning, you may use it to specify whether to prohibit overwriting the object with the same name when uploading the object:
    When the x-cos-forbid-overwrite header is not specified or specified as false, the object with the same name will be overwritten by default;
    When the x-cos-forbid-overwrite is specified as true, overwriting the object with the same name will be prohibited.
    Note:
    For a bucket which has enabled versioning or suspended versioning, the x-cos-forbid-overwrite request header is invalid, which means overwriting objects with the same name is allowed whether the x-cos-forbid-overwrite request header is specified as true or false.
    string
    Not required
    ACL-related headers
    You can configure an access control list (ACL) for the object by specifying the following request headers during the upload:
    Header
    Description
    Type
    Required
    x-cos-acl
    Defines the ACL attribute of the object. For the enumerated values, such as default, private, and public-read, please see the Preset ACL section in ACL Overview. Default value: default.
    Note: If you do not need to set an ACL for the object, set this parameter to default or leave it empty. In this way, the object will inherit the permissions of the bucket it is stored in.
    Enum
    No
    x-cos-grant-read
    Grants a user read permission for an object in the format: id="[OwnerUin]" (e.g., id="100000000001"). You can use commas (,) to separate multiple users, for example, id="100000000001",id="100000000002".
    string
    No
    x-cos-grant-read-acp
    Grants a user read permission for the ACL of an object in the format: id="[OwnerUin]" (e.g., id="100000000001"). You can use commas (,) to separate multiple users, for example, id="100000000001",id="100000000002".
    string
    No
    x-cos-grant-write-acp
    Grants a user write permission for the ACL of an object in the format: id="[OwnerUin]" (e.g., id="100000000001"). You can use commas (,) to separate multiple users, for example, id="100000000001",id="100000000002".
    string
    No
    x-cos-grant-full-control
    Grants a user full permission to operate on an object in the format: id="[OwnerUin]" (e.g., id="100000000001"). You can use commas (,) to separate multiple users, for example, id="100000000001",id="100000000002".
    string
    No
    SSE-related headers
    Server-side encryption can be used during object upload. For more information, see Server-side encryption headers.
