Copying a Part (SDK for Python)

Function

This API copies a part to a specified bucket. This request must contain the multipart upload ID.

After creating a multipart upload, you can specify the upload ID and upload parts for the multipart upload. Alternatively, you can call this API to copy part or all of an uploaded object as a part.

Assume that you copy a source object and save it as part1. If there is already a part1 before the copy, the new part1 will overwrite the existing part1. Then, only the new part1 can be listed and the old part1 is deleted. Therefore, when using this API, ensure that the target part does not exist or is no longer used, to avoid accidental deletion. The source object keeps unchanged in the entire copy process.

Restrictions

To copy a part, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:object:PutObject in IAM or PutObject in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Configuring an Object Policy.
You cannot determine whether a part copy is successful only based on status_code in the HTTP header returned. A 200 response indicates that the server has received the request and starts to process the request. Only when the response body contains ETag, the copy is successful, or the copy fails.

Method

ObsClient.copyPart(bucketName, objectKey, partNumber, uploadId, copySource, copySourceRange, destSseHeader, sourceSseHeader, extensionHeaders)

Request Parameters

**Table 1** List of request parameters
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
bucketName	str	Yes	Explanation: Target 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 attributes comply with those set in the first creation request. Default value: None
objectKey	str	Yes	Explanation: Object name. An object is uniquely identified by an object name in a bucket. An object name is a complete path that does not contain the bucket name. For example, if the address for accessing the object is examplebucket.obs.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.eu/folder/test.txt, the object name is folder/test.txt. Value range: The value must contain 1 to 1,024 characters. Default value: None NOTE: The object URL is in the following format: https://Bucket name.Domain name/Folder directory level/Object name. If this object is stored in the root directory of the bucket, its URL does not contain the folder directory level.
partNumber	int	Yes	Explanation: Part number Value range: [1,10000] Default value: None
uploadId	str	Yes	Explanation: Multipart upload ID, for example, 000001648453845DBB78F2340DD460D8 Value range: The value must contain 32 characters. Default value: None
copySource	str	Yes	Explanation: Parameter used to specify the source bucket, source object, and source object version ID which can be left blank. It is in the format of SourceBucketName/SourceObjectName?versionId=SourceObjectVersionId. 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 attributes comply with those set in the first creation request. An object is uniquely identified by an object name in a bucket. An object name is a complete path that does not contain the bucket name. For example, if the address for accessing the object is examplebucket.obs.eu-west-101.myhuaweicloud.eu/folder/test.txt, the object name is folder/test.txt. Default value: None
copySourceRange	str	No	Explanation: Copy source range. For example, 0-999 indicates the range is from byte 1 to byte 1,000. Value range: Value range: 0 to the object length minus 1. Format: x-y, indicating the range is from byte x+1 to byte y+1 Restrictions: The upper limit of range is the length of the object minus 1. If the specified value exceeds this limit, the length of the object minus 1 is used. Default value: None
destSseHeader	SseCHeader or SseKmsHeader	No	Explanation: Server-side encryption header used for encrypting the target object. For details, see Table 2 or Table 3.
sourceSseHeader	SseCHeader	No	Explanation: Server-side decryption header used for decrypting the source object. For details, see Table 2.
extensionHeaders	dict	No	Explanation: Extension headers. Value range: See User-defined Header (SDK for Python). Default value: None

**Table 2** SseCHeader
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
encryption	str	Yes	Explanation: SSE-C used for encrypting objects Value range: AES256 Default value: None
key	str	Yes	Explanation: Key used in SSE-C encryption. It corresponds to the encryption method. For example, if encryption is set to AES256, the key is calculated using the AES-256 algorithm. Value range: The value must contain 32 characters. Default value: None

**Table 3** SseKmsHeader
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
encryption	str	Yes	Explanation: SSE-KMS used for encrypting objects Value range: kms Default value: None
key	str	No	Explanation: Master key used in SSE-KMS Value range: The following two formats are supported: regionID:domainID:key/key_id key_id In the preceding formats: regionID indicates the ID of the region where the key is used. domainID indicates the ID of the account that the key is for. To obtain it, see How Do I Get My Account ID and IAM User ID? (SDK for Python) key_id indicates the ID of the key created on Data Encryption Workshop (DEW). Default value: If this parameter is not specified, the default master key will be used. If there is no such a default master key, OBS will create one and use it by default.
