    • 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:

Table 4 GetBucketMetadataOutput

Parameter

Type

Description

StatusCode

int

Explanation:

HTTP status code

Value range:

A status code is a group of digits that can be 2xx (indicating successes) or 4xx or 5xx (indicating errors). It indicates the status of a response. For more information, see Status Code.

Default value:

None

RequestId

string

Explanation:

Request ID returned by the OBS server

Default value:

None

ResponseHeaders

map[string][]string

Explanation:

HTTP response headers

Default value:

None

Location

string

Explanation:

Region where a bucket is located

Restrictions:

If the used endpoint is obs.myhuaweicloud.com, this parameter is not required. If any other endpoint is used, this parameter is required.

Value range:

To learn about valid regions and endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints. An endpoint is the request address for calling an API. Endpoints vary depending on services and regions. To obtain the regions and endpoints, contact the enterprise administrator.

Default value:

If obs.myhuaweicloud.com is used as the endpoint and no region is specified, cn-north-1 (the CN North-Beijing1 region) is used by default.

Version

string

Explanation:

OBS version of the bucket

Value range:

  • 3.0 indicates the latest OBS version.
  • -- indicates any version earlier than 3.0.

Default value:

None

StorageClass

StorageClassType

Explanation:

Storage class of the bucket. For details, see Table 5.

Value range:

If the storage class of the bucket is Standard, leave this parameter blank.

AllowOrigin

string

Explanation:

If Origin in the request meets the CORS rules of the bucket, AllowedOrigin in the CORS rules is returned. AllowedOrigin indicates the origin from which the requests can access the bucket.

Restrictions:

Domain name of the origin. Each origin can contain only one wildcard character (*), for example, https://*.vbs.example.com.

Default value:

None

AllowHeader

string

Explanation:

If RequestHeader in the request meets the CORS rules of the bucket, AllowedHeader in the CORS rules is returned. AllowedHeader indicates the allowed headers for cross-origin requests. Only CORS requests matching the allowed headers are valid.

Restrictions:

Each header can contain only one wildcard character (*). Spaces, ampersands (&), colons (:), and less-than signs (<) are not allowed.

Default value:

None

AllowMethod

string

Explanation:

AllowedMethod in the CORS rules of the bucket. It specifies the HTTP method of cross-origin requests, that is, the operation type of buckets and objects.

Value range:

The following HTTP methods are supported:

  • GET
  • PUT
  • HEAD
  • POST
  • DELETE

Default value:

None

ExposeHeader

string

Explanation:

ExposeHeader in the CORS rules of the bucket. It specifies the CORS-allowed additional headers in the response. These headers provide additional information to clients. By default, your browser can only access headers Content-Length and Content-Type. If your browser needs to access other headers, add them to a list of the allowed additional headers.

Restrictions:

Spaces, wildcard characters (*), ampersands (&), colons (:), and less-than signs (<) are not allowed.

Default value:

None

MaxAgeSeconds

int

Explanation:

MaxAgeSeconds in the CORS rules of the bucket. It specifies the time your client can cache the response for a cross-origin request.

Restrictions:

Each CORS rule can contain only one MaxAgeSeconds.

Value range:

0 to (231 – 1), in seconds

Default value:

100

Epid

string

Explanation:

Enterprise project ID that can be specified during bucket creation. If you have enabled EPS, you can obtain the project ID from the EPS console.

Restrictions:

The value of Epid is a UUID. Epid is not required if you have not enabled EPS yet.

Example: 9892d768-2d13-450f-aac7-ed0e44c2585f

Value range:

To obtain the enterprise project ID, see How Do I Obtain an Enterprise Project ID?

Default value:

None

Table 5 StorageClassType

Constant

Default Value

Description

StorageClassStandard

STANDARD

OBS Standard

Features low access latency and high throughput and is used for storing massive, frequently accessed (multiple times a month) or small objects (< 1 MB) requiring quick response.

StorageClassWarm

WARM

OBS Infrequent Access

Used for storing data that is semi-frequently accessed (fewer than 12 times a year) but is instantly available when needed.

StorageClassCold

COLD

OBS Archive

Used for storing rarely accessed (once a year) data.
