Copying a Part (SDK for Python)

Function

This API copies a part to a specified bucket. This request must contain the multipart upload ID.

After creating a multipart upload, you can specify the upload ID and upload parts for the multipart upload. Alternatively, you can call this API to copy part or all of an uploaded object as a part.

Assume that you copy a source object and save it as part1. If there is already a part1 before the copy, the new part1 will overwrite the existing part1. Then, only the new part1 can be listed and the old part1 is deleted. Therefore, when using this API, ensure that the target part does not exist or is no longer used, to avoid accidental deletion. The source object keeps unchanged in the entire copy process.

Restrictions

  • To copy a part, you must be the bucket owner or have the required permission (obs:object:PutObject in IAM or PutObject in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Configuring an Object Policy.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
  • You cannot determine whether a part copy is successful only based on status_code in the HTTP header returned. A 200 response indicates that the server has received the request and starts to process the request. Only when the response body contains ETag, the copy is successful, or the copy fails.

Method

ObsClient.copyPart(bucketName, objectKey, partNumber, uploadId, copySource, copySourceRange, destSseHeader, sourceSseHeader)

Request Parameters

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

bucketName

str

Yes

Explanation:

Target 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.

Explanation:

Object name. An object is uniquely identified by an object name in a bucket. An object name is a complete path that does not contain the bucket name.

For example, if the address for accessing the object is examplebucket.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/folder/test.txt, the object name is folder/test.txt.

Value range:

The value must contain 1 to 1,024 characters.

Default value:

None

NOTE:

The object URL is in the following format: https://Bucket name.Domain name/Folder directory level/Object name. If this object is stored in the root directory of the bucket, its URL does not contain the folder directory level.

partNumber

Value range:

[1,10000]

Default value:

None

uploadId

str

Value range:

The value must contain 32 characters.

Default value:

None

copySource

str

Yes

Explanation:

Parameter used to specify the source bucket, source object, and source object version ID which can be left blank. It is in the format of SourceBucketName/SourceObjectName?versionId=SourceObjectVersionId.

Restrictions:

  • A bucket name must be unique across all accounts and regions.

    • Cannot contain two consecutive periods (..), for example, my..bucket.
    • Cannot contain periods (.) and hyphens (-) adjacent to each other, for example, my-.bucket or my.-bucket.
  • If you repeatedly create buckets of 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.
  • An object is uniquely identified by an object name in a bucket. An object name is a complete path that does not contain the bucket name.

    For example, if the address for accessing the object is examplebucket.obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com/folder/test.txt, the object name is folder/test.txt.

Default value:

None

copySourceRange

Explanation:

Copy source range. For example, 0-999 indicates the range is from byte 1 to byte 1,000.

Value range:

Value range: 0 to the object length minus 1. Format: x-y, indicating the range is from byte x+1 to byte y+1
