Obtaining the Region of a Bucket (SDK for Python)

Function

This API returns the region of a bucket.

Restrictions

To obtain the region of a bucket, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:bucket:GetBucketLocation in IAM or GetBucketLocation in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.

Method

ObsClient.getBucketLocation(bucketName, extensionHeaders)

Request Parameters

**Table 1** List of request parameters
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
bucketName	str	Yes	Explanation: Bucket name Restrictions: A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions. A bucket name: Must be 3 to 63 characters long and start with a digit or letter. Lowercase letters, digits, hyphens (-), and periods (.) are allowed. Cannot be formatted as an IP address. Cannot start or end with a hyphen (-) or period (.). Cannot contain two consecutive periods (..), for example, my..bucket. Cannot contain periods (.) and hyphens (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket. If you repeatedly create buckets of the same name in the same region, no error will be reported and the bucket properties comply with those set in the first creation request. Default value: None
extensionHeaders	dict	No	Explanation: Extension headers Value range: See User-defined Header (SDK for Python). Default value: None

Responses

**Table 2** List of returned results
Type	Description
GetResult	Explanation: SDK common results

**Table 3** GetResult
Parameter	Type	Description
status	int	Explanation: HTTP status code Value range: A status code is a group of digits ranging from 2xx (indicating successes) to 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code. Default value: None
reason	str	Explanation: Reason description. Default value: None
errorCode	str	Explanation: Error code returned by the OBS server. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank. Default value: None
errorMessage	str	Explanation: Error message returned by the OBS server. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank. Default value: None
requestId	str	Explanation: Request ID returned by the OBS server Default value: None
indicator	str	Explanation: Error indicator returned by the OBS server. Default value: None
hostId	str	Explanation: Requested server ID. If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank. Default value: None
resource	str	Explanation: Error source (a bucket or an object). If the value of status is less than 300, this parameter is left blank. Default value: None
header	list	Explanation: Response header list, composed of tuples. Each tuple consists of two elements, respectively corresponding to the key and value of a response header. Default value: None
body	object	Explanation: Result content returned after the operation is successful. If the value of status is larger than 300, the value of body is null. The value varies with the API being called. For details, see Bucket-Related APIs (SDK for Python) and Object-Related APIs (SDK for Python). Default value: None

**Table 4** GetResult.body
GetResult.body Type	Description
LocationResponse	Explanation: Response to the request for obtaining a bucket location

**Table 5** LocationResponse
Parameter	Type	Description
location	str	Explanation: Region where a bucket is located Restrictions: If the endpoint used is obs.myhuaweicloud.eu, this parameter is not required. If any other endpoints are used, this parameter is required. Default value: If obs.myhuaweicloud.eu is used as the endpoint and no region is specified, eu-west-101 (the EU-Dublin region) is used by default.

Code Examples

This example returns the region where bucket examplebucket is located.

     
      
        
        
          from obs import ObsClient
import os
import traceback

# Obtain an AK and SK pair using environment variables or import the AK and SK pair in other ways. Using hard coding may result in leakage.
# Obtain an AK and SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/eu/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
ak = os.getenv("AccessKeyID")
sk = os.getenv("SecretAccessKey")
# (Optional) If you use a temporary AK and SK pair and a security token to access OBS, obtain them from environment variables.
# security_token = os.getenv("SecurityToken")
# Set server to the endpoint corresponding to the bucket. EU-Dublin is used here as an example. Replace it with the one in use.
server = "https://obs.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.eu"

# Create an obsClient instance.
# If you use a temporary AK and SK pair and a security token to access OBS, you must specify security_token when creating an instance.
obsClient = ObsClient(access_key_id=ak, secret_access_key=sk, server=server)
try:
    bucketName="examplebucket"
    # Obtain the bucket region.
    resp = obsClient.getBucketLocation(bucketName)
    # If status code 2xx is returned, the API is called successfully. Otherwise, the API call fails.
    if resp.status < 300:
        print('Get Bucket Location Succeeded')
        print('requestId:', resp.requestId)
        print('location:', resp.body.location)
    else:
        print('Get Bucket Location Failed')
        print('requestId:', resp.requestId)
        print('errorCode:', resp.errorCode)
        print('errorMessage:', resp.errorMessage)
except:
    print('Get Bucket Location Failed')
    print(traceback.format_exc())
