Object Storage Service:Download objects, Download objects

Last Updated:Feb 26, 2024

By default, when you call the GetObject operation on an object in a versioning-enabled bucket, only the current version of the object is returned.

Usage notes

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions and endpoints.

  • In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

  • To download an object, you must have the oss:GetObject permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Background information

When you call the GetObject operation to download an object in a bucket, you may obtain one of the following results:

  • If the current version of the object is a delete marker, OSS returns 404 Not Found.

  • If a version ID of the object is specified in the request, OSS returns the specified version of the object. If the version ID is set to null in the request, OSS returns the version whose version ID is null.

  • If the version ID specified in the request is the version ID of a delete marker, OSS returns 405 Method Not Allowed.

Examples

The following sample code provides an example on how to download an object:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured.  
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the China (Hangzhou) region is used as the endpoint. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
$bucket= "<yourBucketName>";
// Specify the full path of the object. Do not include the bucket name in the full path. Example: example/test.txt. 
$object = "<yourObjectName>";
// Specify the version ID of the object you want to download. 
$versionId = "<yourObjectVersionId>";

$config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);

try{
    // Download the object with the specific version ID. 
    $content = $ossClient->getObject($bucket, $object, array(OssClient::OSS_VERSION_ID => $versionId));
    print($content);
} catch(OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}

print(__FUNCTION__ . ": OK" . "\n");
