Performing a Partial Download

If you have any questions during the development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see the API Reference.

When only partial data of an object is required, you can download data falling within a specific range.

If the specified range is from 0 to 1,000, data from byte 0 to byte 1,000, 1,001 bytes in total, are returned. If the specified range is invalid, the entire object will be returned.

This example downloads the content of objectname in bucketname from byte 10 to byte 200.

The sample code is as follows:

// Initialize configuration parameters.
ObsConfig config = new ObsConfig();
config.Endpoint = "https://your-endpoint";
// 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 AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
// 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.
string accessKey= Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AccessKeyID", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
string secretKey= Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SecretAccessKey", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
// Create an instance of ObsClient.
ObsClient client = new ObsClient(accessKey, secretKey, config);
// Download an object.
try
{
    ByteRange byteRange = new ByteRange(10, 200);
    GetObjectRequest request = new GetObjectRequest()
    {
        BucketName = "bucketname",
        ObjectKey = "objectname",
        ByteRange = byteRange,
    };
    using (GetObjectResponse response = client.GetObject(request))
    {
        string dest = "savepath";
        if (!File.Exists(dest))
        {
            response.WriteResponseStreamToFile(dest);
        }
        Console.WriteLine("Get object response: {0}", response.StatusCode);
    }
}
catch (ObsException ex)
{
   Console.WriteLine("ErrorCode: {0}", ex.ErrorCode);
   Console.WriteLine("ErrorMessage: {0}", ex.ErrorMessage);
}
