Object Storage Service:Retrieve the region of a bucket (C++ SDK)

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 query the region of a bucket, you must have the oss:GetBucketLocation permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Sample code

The following sample code shows how to query the region or location of a bucket:

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

int main(void)
{
    /* Initialize the OSS account information. */
    
    /* Specify the endpoint of any region that OSS supports. For example, https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
    std::string Endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
    
    /* Set yourRegion to the region where the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is in the China (Hangzhou) region, set Region to cn-hangzhou. */
    std::string Region = "yourRegion";
    
    /* Set yourBucketName to the name of the bucket. */
    std::string BucketName = "yourBucketName";

    /* Initialize network resources. */
    InitializeSdk();

    ClientConfiguration conf;
    conf.signatureVersion = SignatureVersionType::V4;
    /* Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run this sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are set. */
    auto credentialsProvider = std::make_shared<EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider>();
    OssClient client(Endpoint, credentialsProvider, conf);
    client.SetRegion(Region);

    /* Get the region of the bucket. */
    GetBucketLocationRequest request(BucketName);
    auto outcome = client.GetBucketLocation(request);

    if (outcome.isSuccess()) {    
        std::cout << "getBucketLocation success, location: " << outcome.result().Location() << std::endl;
    }
    else {
        /* Handle the exception. */
        std::cout << "getBucketLocation fail" <<
        ",code:" << outcome.error().Code() <<
        ",message:" << outcome.error().Message() <<
        ",requestId:" << outcome.error().RequestId() << std::endl;
        ShutdownSdk();
        return -1;
    }

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