Restoring a Specific Archive Object Version

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see the API Reference.

You can call ObsClient.restoreObject to restore a version of an Archive object by specifying VersionId. Sample code is as follows:

// Create an ObsClient instance.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
    // Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
    // The front-end code does not have the process environment variable, so you need to use a module bundler like webpack to define the process variable.
    // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    // Replace the example endpoint with the actual one in your case.
    server: 'https://obs.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.eu'
});

obsClient.restoreObject({
       Bucket : 'bucketname',
       Key : 'objectname',
       VersionId : 'versionid',
       Days : 1,
       // Restore a versioned object at an expedited speed.
       Tier : obsClient.enums.RestoreTierExpedited
}, function (err, result) {
       if(err){
              console.log('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
       }
});

To prolong the validity period of the Archive data restored, you can repeatedly restore the Archive data, but you will be billed for each restore. After a second restore, the validity period of Standard object copies will be prolonged, and you need to pay for storing these copies during the prolonged period.
