Viewing Lifecycle Rules

You can call getBucketLifecycle to view the lifecycle rules of a bucket. Sample code is as follows:

static OBSClient *client;
NSString *endPoint = @"https://your-endpoint";
// Hard-coded or plaintext AK and SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK and SK before storing them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK and SK are stored in environment variables. Before running the code in 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.
char* ak_env = getenv("AccessKeyID");
char* sk_env = getenv("SecretAccessKey");
if (ak_env == NULL || sk_env == NULL) {
    NSLog(@"Error: AccessKeyID or SecretAccessKey environment variable not set");
    return;
}
NSString *AK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:ak_env];
NSString *SK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:sk_env];
    
// Initialize identity authentication.
OBSStaticCredentialProvider *credentialProvider = [[OBSStaticCredentialProvider alloc] initWithAccessKey:AK secretKey:SK];
    
//Initialize service configuration.
OBSServiceConfiguration *conf = [[OBSServiceConfiguration alloc] initWithURLString:endPoint credentialProvider:credentialProvider];
    
// Initialize an instance of OBSClient.
client = [[OBSClient alloc] initWithConfiguration:conf];
// View the bucket lifecycle rules.
OBSGetBucketLifecycleRequest *request = [[OBSGetBucketLifecycleRequest alloc] initWithBucketName:@"bucketname"];
[client getBucketLifecycle:request completionHandler:^(OBSGetBucketLifecycleResponse *response, NSError *error){
   NSLog(@"%@",response);
}];
