Obtaining Customized Metadata

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.

After an object is successfully downloaded, its customized data is returned. Sample code is as follows:

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

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
var obsClient = new ObsClient({
       //Obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import the 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,
       server : 'https://your-endpoint'
});

// Download the object to obtain the object's customized metadata. 
obsClient.getObject({
       Bucket : 'bucketname',
       Key : 'objectname',
}, (err, result) => {
       if(err){
              console.error('Error-->' + err);
       }else{
              console.log('Status-->' + result.CommonMsg.Status);
              if(result.CommonMsg.Status < 300 && result.InterfaceResult){
                  console.log('Metadata-->' + JSON.stringify(result.InterfaceResult.Metadata['property']));
              }
       }
});
