Determine whether a bucket exists (OSS SDK for Go 1.0)

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, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.

• This topic demonstrates creating an OSSClient instance with an OSS endpoint. For alternative configurations, such as using a custom domain or authenticating with credentials from Security Token Service (STS), see Configure a client (Go SDK V1).

• To determine whether a bucket exists, you must have the oss:GetBucketAcl permission. For more information, see Grant a custom policy.

• Versions 2.2.5 and above of Go SDK support all attributes included in the sample code below.

Sample code

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

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/aliyun/aliyun-oss-go-sdk/oss"
)

func main() {
	// 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. 
	provider, err := oss.NewEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to create credentials provider: %v", err)
	}

	// Create an OSSClient instance. 
        // 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. Specify your actual endpoint. 
	// 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. Specify the actual region.
	clientOptions := []oss.ClientOption{oss.SetCredentialsProvider(&provider)}
	clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.Region("yourRegion"))
	// Specify the version of the signature algorithm.
	clientOptions = append(clientOptions, oss.AuthVersion(oss.AuthV4))
	client, err := oss.New("yourEndpoint", "", "", clientOptions...)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to create OSS client: %v", err)
	}

	// Determine whether the bucket exists. 
	bucketName := "yourBucketName" // Replace this parameter with the actual name of your bucket.
	isExist, err := client.IsBucketExist(bucketName)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to check bucket existence: %v", err)
	}

	// Display the result.
	log.Printf("IsBucketExist result for '%s': %t", bucketName, isExist)
}
