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

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

Function

You can configure lifecycle rules to periodically delete objects or transition objects between storage classes. For more information, see Lifecycle Management.

This API returns the lifecycle rules of a bucket.

Restrictions

Method

ObsClient.getBucketLifecycle(params)

Request Parameters

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:

    • 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

Responses

Table 2 Responses

Type

Table 3

NOTE:

This API returns a Promise response, which requires the Promise or async/await syntax.

Explanation:

Returned results. For details, see Table 3.

Table 3 Response

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

Table 5

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.

Code

string

Explanation:

Error code returned by the OBS server.

Message

string

Explanation:

Error description returned by the OBS server.

HostId

string

Explanation:

Request server ID returned by the OBS server.

Table 5 GetBucketLifecycleOutput

Parameter

Type

Description

RequestId

string

Explanation:

Request ID returned by the OBS server

Default value:

None

Rules

LifecycleRule[]

Yes

Explanation:

Lifecycle rule information. For details, see Table 6.

Table 6 LifecycleRule

Parameter

Type

Description

ID

string

Explanation:

Lifecycle rule ID.

Prefix

string

Explanation:

Object name prefix. It identifies the objects the rule applies to. You can leave this parameter blank to apply the rule to all objects in the bucket.

Assume that you have the following objects: logs/day1, logs/day2, logs/day3, and ExampleObject.jpg. If you set Prefix to ExampleObject.jpg, the rule applies to object ExampleObject.jpg alone. If you set Prefix to logs/, the rule applies to objects logs/day1, logs/day2, and logs/day3. If you leave Prefix blank, the rule applies to all objects in the bucket.

Status

string

Explanation:

Whether the rule is enabled.

Value range:

Enabled

Disabled

Transitions

Transition[]

Explanation:

Policies for storage class transition, including transition time and the storage class after transition. For details, see Table 7.

Restrictions:

This parameter is only available for the latest object version.

Expiration

Expiration

Explanation:

Object expiration time. For details, see Table 8.

Restrictions:

This parameter is only available for the latest object version.

NoncurrentVersionTransitions

NoncurrentVersionTransition[]

Explanation:

Policies for storage class transition, including transition time and the storage class after transition. For details, see Table 9.

Restrictions:

  • This parameter is only available for historical object versions.
  • Versioning must be enabled (or suspended after being enabled) for the bucket.

NoncurrentVersionExpiration

NoncurrentVersionExpiration

Explanation:

Expiration time of historical object versions. For details, see Table 10.

Restrictions:

  • This parameter is only available for historical object versions.
  • Versioning must be enabled (or suspended after being enabled) for the bucket.
  • This parameter is not available for parallel file systems.
