GET Object

Last updated: 2024-06-12 15:10:38

    Overview

    This API is used to download an object in a COS bucket to a local file system. To call this API, you need to have permission to read the object, or the object is set to public-read (i.e., everyone can read it).
    Note:
    If the response-* parameter is used in a request, anonymous access will not be supported and the request must carry a signature.
    If you have set origin-pull in the COS console but haven’t enabled sync origin-pull, when COS pulls data from the configured origin server, GET Object will return 302 and redirect to the origin server address. If this address is not trusted, when you use the SDK or call the API, it is strongly recommended that COS verify the address on the backend before requesting it, rather than directly returning 302. Otherwise, security risks such as server-side request forgery (SSRF) (e.g., pulling from a private network address) may occur.
    

    Versioning

    With versioning enabled, you can specify the versionId request parameter to get a specific version of an object. If the version ID you specify corresponds to a delete marker, HTTP status code 404 (Not Found) will be returned. If no version ID is specified, the latest version will be returned.

    Archive storage classes

    If this API is used to get an ARCHIVE or DEEP ARCHIVE object, and the object has not been restored using POST Object restore or the restored copy has been deleted after expiration, the request will return HTTP status code 403 (Forbidden) and include an error message in the response body. The error code InvalidObjectState indicates that you cannot use this API to get the object in its current state unless you restore it first.

    Request

    Sample request

    GET /<ObjectKey> HTTP/1.1
    Host: <BucketName-APPID>.cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com
    Date: GMT Date
    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 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
    Range
    Byte range as defined in RFC 2616. The value must be in the format of bytes=first-last ("first" and "last" are offset relative to 0) and only one range can be set.
    For example, bytes=0-9 indicates to download the first 10 bytes of the object and bytes=5-9 the 6th to 10th bytes. HTTP status code 206 (Partial Content) and the Content-Range response header will be returned.
    If the value of "first" is smaller than the object size, HTTP status code 416 (Requested Range Not Satisfiable) will be returned. If this parameter is not set, the whole object will be downloaded.
    string
    No
    If-Modified-Since
    If the object is modified after the specified time, the object will be returned; otherwise, HTTP status code 304 (Not Modified) will be returned.
    string
    No
    If-Unmodified-Since
    If the object is not modified after the specified time, the object will be returned; otherwise, HTTP status code 412 (Precondition Failed) will be returned.
    string
    No
    If-Match
    If the ETag of the object is the same as the specified value, the object will be returned; otherwise, HTTP status code 412 (Precondition Failed) will be returned.
    string
    No
    If-None-Match
    If the ETag of the object is different from the specified value, the object will be returned; otherwise, HTTP status code 304 (Not Modified) will be returned.
    string
    No
    x-cos-traffic-limit
    Limits the speed (in bit/s) for the current download for traffic control. Valid range: 819200-838860800 (i.e., 100 KB/s−100 MB/s). If the speed exceeds the limit, a 400 error will be returned.
    integer
    No
    Server-side encryption headers
    If server-side encryption is used for the specified object and the encryption method is SSE-C, you will need to specify the headers related to server-side encryption to decrypt the object. For more information, see Server-side Encryption Headers.
