Identifying Whether a Bucket Exists

You can call ObsClient.headBucket to identify whether a bucket exists.

This example checks whether bucket bucketname exists.

The example code is as follows:

// Hard-coded or plaintext AK/SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK/SK and store them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK/SK are stored in environment variables for identity authentication. Before running this example, configure environment variables ACCESS_KEY_ID and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID.
// Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console.
String ak = System.getenv("ACCESS_KEY_ID");
String sk = System.getenv("SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
String endPoint = "https://your-endpoint";
// Create an instance of ObsClient.
ObsClient obsClient = new ObsClient(ak, sk, endPoint);

boolean exists = obsClient.headBucket("bucketname");

• If an exception is thrown and the returned HTTP status code is 404, the bucket does not exist.
