Get Bucket Location

s3_get_bucket_location R Documentation

Using the GetBucketLocation operation is no longer a best practice

Description

Using the get_bucket_location operation is no longer a best practice. To return the Region that a bucket resides in, we recommend that you use the head_bucket operation instead. For backward compatibility, Amazon S3 continues to support the get_bucket_location operation.

Returns the Region the bucket resides in. You set the bucket's Region using the LocationConstraint request parameter in a create_bucket request. For more information, see create_bucket.

In a bucket's home Region, calls to the get_bucket_location operation are governed by the bucket's policy. In other Regions, the bucket policy doesn't apply, which means that cross-account access won't be authorized. However, calls to the head_bucket operation always return the bucket’s location through an HTTP response header, whether access to the bucket is authorized or not. Therefore, we recommend using the head_bucket operation for bucket Region discovery and to avoid using the get_bucket_location operation.

When you use this API operation with an access point, provide the alias of the access point in place of the bucket name.

When you use this API operation with an Object Lambda access point, provide the alias of the Object Lambda access point in place of the bucket name. If the Object Lambda access point alias in a request is not valid, the error code InvalidAccessPointAliasError is returned. For more information about InvalidAccessPointAliasError, see List of Error Codes.

This operation is not supported for directory buckets.

The following operations are related to get_bucket_location:

  • get_object

  • create_bucket

You must URL encode any signed header values that contain spaces. For example, if your header value is ⁠my file.txt⁠, containing two spaces after my, you must URL encode this value to ⁠my%20%20file.txt⁠.

Usage

s3_get_bucket_location(Bucket, ExpectedBucketOwner)

Arguments

Bucket

[required] The name of the bucket for which to get the location.

When you use this API operation with an access point, provide the alias of the access point in place of the bucket name.

When you use this API operation with an Object Lambda access point, provide the alias of the Object Lambda access point in place of the bucket name. If the Object Lambda access point alias in a request is not valid, the error code InvalidAccessPointAliasError is returned. For more information about InvalidAccessPointAliasError, see List of Error Codes.

ExpectedBucketOwner

The account ID of the expected bucket owner. If the account ID that you provide does not match the actual owner of the bucket, the request fails with the HTTP status code ⁠403 Forbidden⁠ (access denied).

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(
  LocationConstraint = "af-south-1"|"ap-east-1"|"ap-east-2"|"ap-northeast-1"|"ap-northeast-2"|"ap-northeast-3"|"ap-south-1"|"ap-south-2"|"ap-southeast-1"|"ap-southeast-2"|"ap-southeast-3"|"ap-southeast-4"|"ap-southeast-5"|"ap-southeast-6"|"ap-southeast-7"|"ca-central-1"|"ca-west-1"|"cn-north-1"|"cn-northwest-1"|"EU"|"eu-central-1"|"eu-central-2"|"eu-north-1"|"eu-south-1"|"eu-south-2"|"eu-west-1"|"eu-west-2"|"eu-west-3"|"il-central-1"|"me-central-1"|"me-south-1"|"mx-central-1"|"sa-east-1"|"us-east-2"|"us-gov-east-1"|"us-gov-west-1"|"us-west-1"|"us-west-2"
)
