Getting Pre-Signed URLs
Last updated: 2024-02-01 18:01:21

Overview

The C SDK provides APIs to obtain pre-signed URLs. For detailed directions, see the description and examples below.
Note:
You are advised to use a temporary key to generate a pre-signed URL for the security of your requests such as uploads and downloads. When you apply for a temporary key, follow the Principle of Least Privilege to avoid leaking resources besides your buckets and objects.
If you need to use a permanent key to generate a pre-signed URL, you are advised to limit the permission of the permanent key to uploads and downloads only to avoid risks.
