Obtaining the Default WORM Policy of a Bucket (SDK for Node.js)

Function

This API is used to obtain the default WORM policy of a bucket.

If you have never configured the default bucket-level retention policy after enabling WORM for a bucket, you can still use this API to check whether WORM is enabled.

Restrictions

  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.

Method

ObsClient.getObjectLockConfiguration(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 properties comply with those set in the first creation request.

Sample Code

You can call ObsClient.getObjectLockConfiguration to obtain the default WORM policy of a bucket. The sample code is as follows:

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

// Create an ObsClient instance.
const obsClient = new ObsClient({
  // Obtain an AK and SK pair using environment variables (recommended) or import it 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 not advised 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 bucket. CN-Hong Kong is used here as an example. Replace it with the one currently in use.
  server: "https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com"
});
