Object Storage Service:Query information about a bucket (Go SDK V2)

Last Updated:Aug 02, 2025

This topic describes how to use Object Storage Service (OSS) SDK for Go to query information about a bucket, such as the access tracking state, region, creation date, access control list (ACL), name and ID of the owner, storage class, redundancy type, public endpoint, internal endpoint, cross-region replication (CRR) state, versioning state, and encryption method. This helps you perform subsequent operations.

Usage notes

  • The sample code in this topic uses the region ID cn-hangzhou, which corresponds to the China (Hangzhou) region. By default, a public endpoint is used to access resources in a bucket. If you access the bucket from other Alibaba Cloud services that are deployed in the same region, use the internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions and endpoints.

  • In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure the access credentials, see Configure access credentials.

  • To query information about a bucket, you must have the oss:GetBucketInfo permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

Method

func (c *Client) GetBucketInfo(ctx context.Context, request *GetBucketInfoRequest, optFns ...func(*Options)) (*GetBucketInfoResult, error)

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

ctx

context.Context

The context of the request, which can be used to specify the total duration of the request.

request

*GetBucketInfoRequest

Specifies the parameters of a specific operation.

For more information, see GetBucketInfoRequest.

optFns

...func(*Options)

Optional. The operation-level parameter.

For more information, see Options.

Response parameters

Response parameter

Type

Description

result

*GetBucketInfoResult

The response to the operation. This parameter is valid when the value of err is nil. For more information, see GetBucketInfoResult.

err

error

The status of the request. If the request fails, the value of err cannot be nil.

Examples

The following sample code provides an example on how to query information about a bucket:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"flag"
	"log"

	"github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-oss-go-sdk-v2/oss"
	"github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-oss-go-sdk-v2/oss/credentials"
)

// Specify the global variables.
var (
	region     string // The region.
	bucketName string // The name of the bucket.
)

// Specify the init function used to initialize command line parameters.
func init() {
	flag.StringVar(&region, "region", "", "The region in which the bucket is located.")
	flag.StringVar(&bucketName, "bucket", "", "The `name` of the bucket.")
}

func main() {
	// Parse command line parameters.
	flag.Parse()

	// Check whether the bucket name is empty.
	if len(bucketName) == 0 {
		flag.PrintDefaults()
		log.Fatalf("invalid parameters, bucket name required")
	}

	// Check whether the region is empty.
	if len(region) == 0 {
		flag.PrintDefaults()
		log.Fatalf("invalid parameters, region required")
	}

	// Load the default configurations and specify the credential provider and region.
	cfg := oss.LoadDefaultConfig().
		WithCredentialsProvider(credentials.NewEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()).
		WithRegion(region)

	// Create an OSS client.
	client := oss.NewClient(cfg)

	// Create a request to query information about the bucket.
	request := &oss.GetBucketInfoRequest{
		Bucket: oss.Ptr(bucketName), // The name of the bucket.
	}

	// Execute the request to query information about the bucket and process the result.
	result, err := client.GetBucketInfo(context.TODO(), request)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("failed to get bucket info %v", err)
	}

	// Display the information about the bucket.
	log.Printf("get bucket info result:%v\n", result.BucketInfo)
}

List of Common Bucket Information

Parameter

Description

BucketInfo.Name

The name of the bucket.

BucketInfo.AccessMonitor

The access tracking status of the bucket.

BucketInfo.Location

The region in which the OSS bucket is located.

BucketInfo.CreationDate

The date when the bucket was created.

BucketInfo.ExtranetEndpoint

The public endpoint of the bucket.

BucketInfo.IntranetEndpoint

  • BucketInfo.Owner.DisplayName: the name of the bucket owner.

BucketInfo.StorageClass

The storage class of the bucket.

BucketInfo.SseRule

The following parameters are included:

  • BucketInfo.SseRule.KMSDataEncryption: whether to use Key Management Service (KMS) to encrypt data in the bucket.

  • BucketInfo.SseRule.KMSMasterKeyID: the ID of the KMS key.

  • BucketInfo.SseRule.SSEAlgorithm: the default server-side encryption method.

BucketInfo.Versioning

The versioning status of the bucket.

BucketInfo.CrossRegionReplication

The cross-region replication (CRR) status of the bucket.
