Setting Object Tags (SDK for Go)

Function

This API sets or updates tags for an object. Each tag is a key-value pair.

Restrictions

  • To add tags to an object, you must be the object owner or have the required permission (obs:object:PutObjectTagging in IAM or PutObjectTagging in a bucket policy). For details, see Introduction to OBS Access Control, IAM Custom Policies, and Creating a Custom Bucket Policy.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
  • A bucket can have a maximum of 10 tags.
  • Tags cannot be set for files in parallel file systems.
  • A tag key and its value can contain a maximum of 128 and 255 characters, respectively.
  • Tag keys and key values cannot contain commas (,), asterisks (*), vertical bars (|), slashes (/), less-than signs (<), greater-than signs (>), equal signs (=), backslashes (\), or ASCII codes (0x00 to 0x1F).

Table 2 SetObjectTaggingInput

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 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.

Default value:

None

Key

string

Yes

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

VersionId

string

No

Explanation:

ID of the object version to be deleted, for example, G001117FCE89978B0000401205D5DC9

Value range:

The value must contain 32 characters.

Default value:

None. If this parameter is left blank, the latest version of the object is deleted.

Tags

[]Tag

Yes

Explanation:

Object tag list. For details, see Table 3.

Restrictions:

  • An object can have a maximum of 10 tags by default. Each tag has only one key and one value.
  • For the same object, tag keys must be unique, but tag values can be duplicated or left blank.
Table 3 Tag

Parameter

Type

Mandatory (Yes/No)

Description

Key

string

Yes if used as a request parameter

Explanation:

Tag key

Restrictions:

  • The tag key in the same bucket must be unique.
  • The value of the key can be self-defined or predefined by TMS.
  • The key must contain 1 to 128 characters.
  • Tag keys cannot start or end with a space and cannot contain commas (,), asterisks (*), vertical bars (|), slashes (/), less-than signs (<), greater-than signs (>), equal signs (=), backslashes (\), or ASCII control characters (0x00 to 0x1F). Tag keys and values must be URL encoded before being sent to a server.
  • The value is case-sensitive.

Default value:

None

Value

string

Yes if used as a request parameter

Explanation:

Tag value

Restrictions:

Tag values can be duplicated or left blank.

  • The value must contain 0 to 255 characters.
  • Tag values cannot start or end with a space and cannot contain commas (,), asterisks (*), vertical bars (|), slashes (/), less-than signs (<), greater-than signs (>), equal signs (=), backslashes (\), or ASCII control characters (0x00 to 0x1F). Tag keys and values must be URL encoded before being sent to a server.
  • The value is case-sensitive.

Default value:

None
