Feature Overview

This document provides an overview of APIs and SDK code samples related to basic bucket operations.
API
Operation
Description
Checking a bucket and its permission
Checks whether a bucket exists and you have permission to access it
Deleting a bucket
Deletes an empty bucket under a specified account

Checking a bucket and its permission

Note

This API (HEAD Bucket) is used to verify whether a bucket exists and whether you have permission to access it.
If the bucket exists and you have permission to read it, HTTP status code 200 will be returned.
If you do not have permission to read the bucket, HTTP status code 403 will be returned.
If the bucket does not exist, HTTP status code 404 will be returned.

Use Cases

Extracting bucket information:
cos.headBucket({
Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Required */
Region: 'COS_REGION', /* The region where the bucket is located, required field */
}, function(err, data) {
console.log(err || data);
});
Determining whether the bucket exists:
function doesBucketExist() {
cos.headBucket({
Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Required */
Region: 'COS_REGION', /* The region where the bucket is located, required field */
}, function(err, data) {
if (data) {
console.log('Bucket exists');
} else if (err.statusCode == 403) {
console.log('No read permission for this bucket');
}
});
}

Deleting a bucket

Note

This API is used to delete an empty bucket under a specified account. Note that if the deletion is successful, the HTTP status code 200 or 204 will be returned.
Note
Before deleting a bucket, make sure that all the data and incomplete multipart uploads in the bucket have been cleared; otherwise, the bucket cannot be deleted.

Use Cases

cos.deleteBucket({
Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Required */
Region: 'COS_REGION', /* The region where the bucket is located, required field */
}, function(err, data) {
console.log(err || data);
});
