Object Storage Service:Determine whether an object exists

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 by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

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

Sample code

The following code provides an example on how to determine whether an object exists:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
using namespace AlibabaCloud::OSS;

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize information about the account that is used to access OSS. */
            
    /* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    /* Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou. */
    std::string Region = "yourRegion";
    /* Specify the name of the bucket. Example: examplebucket. */
    std::string BucketName = "examplebucket";
    /* Specify the full path of the object. Do not include the bucket name in the full path of the object. Example: exampledir/exampleobject.txt. */
    std::string ObjectName = "exampledir/exampleobject.txt";
    /* Initialize resources such as network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    conf.signatureVersion = SignatureVersionType::V4;
    /* 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. */
    auto credentialsProvider = std::make_shared<EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider>();
    OssClient client(Endpoint, credentialsProvider, conf);
    client.SetRegion(Region);

    /* Determine whether the object exists. */
    auto outcome = client.DoesObjectExist(BucketName, ObjectName);

    if (outcome) {
      std::cout << "The Object exists!" << std::endl;                       
    }                              
    else {                         
      std::cout << "The Object does not exist!" << std::endl;
    }

    /* Release resources such as network resources. */
    ShutdownSdk();
    return 0;
}
