Initializing an Instance of ObsClient

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.

Each time you want to send an HTTP/HTTPS request to OBS, you must create an instance of ObsClient. Sample code is as follows:

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
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/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
    access_key_id: process.env.AccessKeyID,
    secret_access_key: process.env.SecretAccessKey,
    //Replace the following region with the one in use. Here uses the CN-Hong Kong region as an example.
    server: 'https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com'
    
});

// Use the instance to access OBS.
