Object Storage Service:Download objects to local computers using OSS SDK for C++

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.

Permissions

By default, an Alibaba Cloud account has full permissions. RAM users or RAM roles under an Alibaba Cloud account do not have any permissions by default. The Alibaba Cloud account or account administrator must grant operation permissions through RAM Policy or Bucket policies.

Sample code

The following code provides an example on how to download an object as a local file:

#include <alibabacloud/oss/OssClient.h>
#include <memory>
#include <fstream>
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. Example: exampledir/exampleobject.txt. */
    std::string ObjectName = "exampledir/exampleobject.txt";
    /* Download the object as a local file named examplefile.txt and save the file to D:\\localpath. If a file that has the same name already exists in the specified path, the downloaded object overwrites the file. Otherwise, the downloaded object is saved in the path. */
    /* If you do not specify the path of the local file, the downloaded object is saved to the path of the project to which the sample program belongs. */
    std::string FileNametoSave = "D:\\localpath\\examplefile.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);

    /* Download the object as a local file. */
    GetObjectRequest request(BucketName, ObjectName);
    request.setResponseStreamFactory([=]() {return std::make_shared<std::fstream>(FileNametoSave, std::ios_base::out | std::ios_base::in | std::ios_base::trunc| std::ios_base::binary); });

    auto outcome = client.GetObject(request);

    if (outcome.isSuccess()) {    
        std::cout << "GetObjectToFile success" << outcome.result().Metadata().ContentLength() << std::endl;
    }
    else {
        /* Handle exceptions. */
        std::cout << "GetObjectToFile fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }

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