PUT Object - Copy
API Description
You can use this API to create a copy for an object in a specified bucket.
Method Definition
1. ObsClient->copyObject(array $parameter) 2. ObsClient->copyObjectAsync(array $parameter, callable $callback)
Request Parameter
Field | Type | Optional or Mandatory | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Bucket | string | Mandatory | Target bucket name |
Key | string | Mandatory | Target object name |
ACL | string | Optional | Pre-defined access control policy specified during object copy |
StorageClass | string | Optional | Storage class of the object. Possible values are: |
CopySource | string | Mandatory | Parameter used to specify the source bucket, source object, and source object version ID which can be null. It is in the format of SourceBucketName/SourceObjectName?versionId=SourceObjectVersionId. |
CopySourceIfMatch | string | Optional | Copies the source object if its ETag is the same as the one specified by this parameter; otherwise, an exception is thrown. |
CopySourceIfModifiedSince | string or \DateTime | Optional | Copies the source object if it is changed after the time specified by this parameter; otherwise, an exception is thrown. If this parameter value is a character string, it must conform to the HTTP time format specified in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt. |
CopySourceIfNoneMatch | string | Optional | Copies the source object if its ETag is different from the one specified by this parameter; otherwise, an exception is thrown. |
CopySourceIfUnmodifiedSince | string or \DateTime | Optional | Copies the source object if it is changed before the time specified by this parameter; otherwise, an exception is thrown. If this parameter value is a character string, it must conform to the HTTP time format specified in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt. |
CacheControl | string | Optional | Rewrites the Cache-Control header in the response. |
ContentDisposition | string | Optional | Rewrites the Content-Disposition header in the response. |
ContentEncoding | string | Optional | Rewrites the Content-Encoding header in the response. |
ContentLanguage | string | Optional | Rewrites the Content-Language header in the response. |
ContentType | string | Optional | Rewrites the Content-Type header in the response. For details about the common content types, see Configuring, Editing, and Viewing Object Metadata. |
Expires | string | Optional | Rewrites the Expires header in the response. |
MetadataDirective | string | Optional | |
Metadata | associative array | Optional | Customized metadata of the target object |
WebsiteRedirectLocation | string | Optional | Location where the object is redirected to, when the bucket is configured with website hosting. |
SseKms | string | Optional | Algorithm used to encrypt the target object in SSE-KMS mode. The value can be:
|
SseKmsKey | string | Optional | ID of the KMS master key used in SSE-KMS encryption. If this parameter is left blank, the default key is used. To obtain the key ID, see Viewing a Key. |
SseC | string | Optional | Algorithm used to encrypt the target object in SSE-C mode. The value can be:
|
SseCKey | string | Optional | Custom key used in SSE-C encryption. The value is a Base64-encoded 256-bit key. |
CopySourceSseC | string | Optional | Algorithm used to decrypt the source object in SSE-C mode. The value can be:
|
CopySourceSseCKey | string | Optional | Key used to decrypt the source object in SSE-C mode, which is calculated by using AES-256 |

- If the object copy request includes CopySourceIfUnmodifiedSince, CopySourceIfMatch, CopySourceIfModifiedSince, or CopySourceIfNoneMatch, and the specified condition is not met, an exception will be thrown with HTTP status code 412 Precondition Failed returned.
- CopySourceIfModifiedSince and CopySourceIfNoneMatch can be used together. So do CopySourceIfUnmodifiedSince and CopySourceIfMatch.
Returned Result
Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
HttpStatusCode | integer | HTTP status code |
Reason | string | Reason description |
RequestId | string | Request ID returned by the OBS server |
ETag | string | ETag of the target object |
LastModified | string | Time when the last modification was made to the object |
VersionId | string | Version ID of the target object. This field is null if versioning is not enabled for the target bucket. |
CopySourceVersionId | string | Version ID of the source object. This field is null if versioning is not enabled for the source bucket. |
SseKms | string | Algorithm used in SSE-KMS encryption |
SseKmsKey | string | ID of the KMS master key used in SSE-KMS encryption. If this parameter is left blank, the default key is used. To obtain the key ID, see Viewing a Key. |
SseC | string | Algorithm used in SSE-C encryption |
SseCKeyMd5 | string | MD5 value of the key used in SSE-C encryption |
Sample Code
try{ $resp = $obsClient -> copyObject([ 'Bucket' => 'bucketname', 'Key' => 'objectkey', 'CopySource' => 'srcbucketname/srcobjectkey', 'Metadata' => ['meta1' => 'value1'] ]); printf("RequestId:%s\n", $resp['RequestId']); printf("ETag:%s\n", $resp['ETag']); printf("VersionId:%s\n", $resp['VersionId']); printf("CopySourceVersionId:%s\n", $resp['CopySourceVersionId']); printf("LastModified:%s\n", $resp['LastModified']); }catch (Obs\Common\ObsException $obsException){ printf("ExceptionCode:%s\n", $obsException->getExceptionCode()); printf("ExceptionMessage:%s\n", $obsException->getExceptionMessage()); }
