Obtaining the Region of a Bucket (SDK for Node.js)

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.

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.
To learn about the mappings between OBS regions and endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints.

Method

ObsClient.getBucketLocation(params)

Request Parameters

**Table 1** BucketRequestInput
Parameter	Type	Mandatory (Yes/No)	Description
Bucket	string	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 a period (.) and a hyphen (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket. If you repeatedly create buckets with 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. Value range: The value can contain 3 to 63 characters. Default value: None

Parameter	Type	Description
CommonMsg	ICommonMsg	Explanation: Common information generated after an API call is complete, including the HTTP status code and error code. For details, see Table 4.
InterfaceResult	GetBucketMetadataOutput	Explanation: Results outputted for a successful call. For details, see Table 5. Restrictions: This parameter is not included if the value of Status is greater than 300.

**Table 4** ICommonMsg
Parameter	Type	Description
Status	number	Explanation: HTTP status code returned by the OBS server. Value range: A status code is a group of digits indicating the status of a response. It ranges from 2xx (indicating successes) to 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). For details, see Status Codes.

Indicator	string	Explanation: Error code details returned by the OBS server.

**Table 5** GetBucketLocationOutput
Parameter	Type	Description
RequestId	string	Explanation: Request ID returned by the OBS server
Location	string	Explanation: Region where a bucket is located. Restrictions: If the used endpoint is obs.myhuaweicloud.com, this parameter is not required. If any other endpoint is used, this parameter is required. Value range: To learn about valid regions and endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints. An endpoint is the request address for calling an API. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions. To obtain the regions and endpoints, contact the enterprise administrator.

Code Examples

You can call ObsClient.getBucketLocation to obtain the location of a bucket. This example uses bucket examplebucket.

    
     
       
       
         // Import the OBS library.
// Use npm to install the client.
const ObsClient = require("esdk-obs-nodejs");
// Use the source code to install the client.
// var ObsClient = require('./lib/obs');

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
const obsClient = new ObsClient({
  // Obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import an AK/SK pair in other ways. Using hard coding may result in leakage.
  // 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.ACCESS_KEY_ID,
  secret_access_key: process.env.SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
  // (Optional) If you use a temporary AK/SK pair and a security token to access OBS, you are advised not to use hard coding, which may result in information leakage. You can obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import an AK/SK pair in other ways.
  // security_token: process.env.SECURITY_TOKEN,
  // Enter the endpoint corresponding to the region where the bucket is located. CN-Hong Kong is used here in this example. Replace it with the one currently in use.
  server: "https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com"
});

async function getBucketLocation() {
  try {
    const params = {
      // Specify the bucket name.
      Bucket: "examplebucket"
    };
    // Obtain the bucket region.
    const result = await obsClient.getBucketLocation(params);
    if (result.CommonMsg.Status <= 300) {
      console.log("Get bucket(%s)'s location successful!", params.Bucket);
      console.log('Location: %s', result.InterfaceResult.Location);
      return;
    };
    console.log("An ObsError was found, which means your request sent to OBS was rejected with an error response.");
    console.log("Status: %d", result.CommonMsg.Status);
    console.log("Code: %s", result.CommonMsg.Code);
    console.log("Message: %s", result.CommonMsg.Message);
    console.log("RequestId: %s", result.CommonMsg.RequestId);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log("An Exception was found, which means the client encountered an internal problem when attempting to communicate with OBS, for example, the client was unable to access the network.");
    console.log(error);
  };
};

getBucketLocation();
