obsClient Initialization (OBS SDK for Go)

Function

ObsClient functions as the Go client for accessing OBS. It offers users a series of APIs for interaction with OBS. These APIs are used for managing and operating resources, such as buckets and objects, stored in OBS. To use the OBS Go SDK to send a request to OBS, you need to initialize an instance of ObsClient and modify configuration parameters of the instance based on actual needs.

Initialization Method

func New(ak, sk, endpoint string, configurers ...configurer) (*ObsClient, error)

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

ak

string

Yes

Access key ID (AK)

sk

string

Yes

Secret access key (SK)

endpoint

string

Yes

Endpoint for accessing OBS, which contains the protocol type, domain name (or IP address), and port ID. For example, https://your-endpoint:443. For security purposes, you are advised to use HTTPS.

To view the endpoints available for OBS, see Regions and Endpoints.

securityToken

string

No

The security token in temporary security credentials.

configurers

configurer (private type contained in the obs package)

No

A group of parameters used to configure ObsClient, including connection timeout period, maximum retries, and maximum number of connections.

Available Configurers

You can use configurers (private type provided by the obs namespace) to configure ObsClient. The following table lists available configurers:

Configurer

Description

Recommended Value

WithSslVerifyAndPemCerts(sslVerify bool, pemCerts []byte)

Specifies whether to verify server-side certificates. Server-side certificates will not be verified by default.

N/A

WithHeaderTimeout(headerTimeout int)

Specifies the timeout period of obtaining the response headers. The default value is 60, in seconds.

[10, 60]

WithMaxConnections(maxIdleConns int)

Specifies the maximum number of idle HTTP connections. The default value is 1000.

N/A

WithConnectTimeout(connectTimeout int)

Specifies the timeout period for establishing an HTTP/HTTPS connection, in seconds. The default value is 60.

[10, 60]

WithSocketTimeout(socketTimeout int)

Specifies the timeout duration for transmitting data at the socket layer, in seconds. The default value is 60.

[10, 60]

WithIdleConnTimeout(idleConnTimeout int)

Specifies the timeout period of an idle HTTP connection in the connection pool, in seconds. The default value is 30.

Default

WithMaxRetryCount(maxRetryCount int)

Specifies the maximum number of retries when an HTTP/HTTPS connection is abnormal. The default value is 3.

[1, 5]

WithProxyUrl(proxyUrl string)

Configures the HTTP proxy.

N/A

WithHttpTransport(transport *http.Transport)

Configures custom structs of the Transport type.

Default

WithRequestContext(ctx context.Context)

Configures the context for each HTTP request.

N/A

WithMaxRedirectCount(maxRedirectCount int)

Specifies the maximum number of times that the HTTP/HTTPS request is redirected. The default value is 3.

[1, 5]

WithSecurityToken(securityToken string)

Specifies security token in the temporary access keys.

N/A
  • Parameters whose recommended value is N/A need to be set according to the actual conditions.
  • If the network is unstable, you are advised to set larger values for WithConnectTimeout and WithSocketTimeout.

  • You can also create an instance of ObsClient by using temporary access keys obtained by configuring system environment variables or by accessing an ECS.

         // Use the obsClient to access OBS.

         // Close the obsClient.
         obsClient.Close()
    }
}

      In the preceding method, access keys are searched from the environment variables in the current system. The OBS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OBS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY fields need to be defined in the corresponding environment variables. If temporary access keys are also used, the OBS_SECURITY_TOKEN field must also be defined in the environment variables.

         // Use the obsClient to access OBS.

         // Close the obsClient.
         obsClient.Close()
    }
}

      If an application is deployed on an ECS and the ECS has relevant agencies bound, you can use the preceding method to automatically obtain temporary access keys from the ECS.

    )
    if err == nil {
         // Use the obsClient to access OBS.

         // Close the obsClient.
         obsClient.Close()
    }
}

      In the preceding initialization process, access keys are obtained from environment variables and ECSs in sequence, and the first group of obtained access keys is used to create an ObsClient.

  • The project can contain one or more instances of ObsClient.
  • ObsClient is thread-safe and can be simultaneously used by multiple threads.
  • After you call the ObsClient.close method to close an instance of ObsClient, the instance cannot be used anymore.
  • You can call WithHttpTransport to pass a user-defined Transport parameter that specifies maximum connections for a single host. The sample code is as follows:

        obsClient.Close()
    }
}
    • The MaxConnsPerHost parameter can be specified in the Transport struct only in Golang 1.11 and later versions.
    • If a user-defined Transport is specified, the maximum number of idle connections and proxy can only be configured in Transport, rather than through the methods WithMaxConnections and WithProxyUrl.
