Copying an Object (SDK for Go)_Object Storage Service

Function

This API copies an object stored in OBS to another path, with a copy created during the process. You can create a copy of an object up to 5 GB in a single operation.

Restrictions

To copy an object, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:object:PutObject in IAM or PutObject in a bucket policy).
The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
The object copy request carries the information about the source bucket and object to be copied in the header field. The message body cannot be carried.
The target object size ranges from 0 to 5 GB. If the source object size exceeds 5 GB, you can only copy some objects using Multipart Uploads (SDK for Go).

Method

func (obsClient ObsClient) CopyObject(input *CopyObjectInput) (output *CopyObjectOutput, err error)

Metadata	map[string]string	No	Explanation: Custom metadata of the target object. You can add a header starting with x-obs-meta- in the request to define metadata. The custom metadata will be returned in the response when you retrieve the object or query the object metadata. Restrictions: The custom metadata cannot exceed 8 KB. To measure the custom metadata, sum the number of bytes in the UTF-8 encoding of each key and value. The custom metadata keys are case insensitive, but are stored in lowercase in OBS. The key values are case sensitive. Both custom metadata keys and their values must conform to US-ASCII standards. If non-ASCII or unrecognizable characters are necessary, they must be encoded and decoded in URL or Base64 on the client, because the server side does not perform any decoding. Default value: None
GrantReadId	string	No	Explanation: ID (domain_id) of an account the READ permission is granted to. The account with the READ permission can read the object to copy and obtain its metadata. Value range: To obtain the account ID, see How Do I Get My Account ID and User ID? Default value: None

Value range: To obtain the account ID, see How Do I Get My Account ID and User ID? Default value: None
SuccessActionRedirect	string	No	Explanation: Address (URL) to which a successfully answered request is redirected If the value is valid and the request is successful, OBS returns status code 303. Location contains SuccessActionRedirect as well as the bucket name, object name, and object ETag. If the value is invalid, OBS ignores this parameter. In such case, the Location header is the object address, and OBS returns a status code based on whether the operation succeeds or fails. Default value: None

Responses

**Table 8** List of returned results
Parameter	Type	Description
output	*CopyObjectOutput	Explanation: Messages returned by the API See Table 9.
err	error	Explanation: Error messages returned by the API

**Table 9** CopyObjectOutput
Parameter	Type	Description
StatusCode	int	Explanation: HTTP status code Value range: A status code is a group of digits that can be 2xx (indicating successes) or 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code. Default value: None
RequestId	string	Explanation: Request ID returned by the OBS server Default value: None
ResponseHeaders	map[string][]string	Explanation: HTTP response headers Default value: None
LastModified	time.Time	Explanation: Time when the last modification was made to the target object Value range: UTC time Default value: None
