Generating Pre-Signed URL

Last updated: 2024-02-02 17:35:19

    Overview

    The JavaScript SDK provides the API for getting an object URL and the pre-signed URL for a request.
    Note:
    You are advised to use a temporary key to generate pre-signed URLs for the security of your requests such as uploads and downloads. When you apply for a temporary key, follow the Principle of Least Privilege to avoid leaking resources besides your buckets and objects. Note that the action for applying for a temporary key needs to be added with the "name/cos:GetObject" permission.
    If you need to use a permanent key to generate a pre-signed URL, you are advised to limit the permission of the permanent key to uploads and downloads only to avoid risks.

    Signature Calculation

    In all COS XML API requests, the authentication credential Authorization is required for all operations on private resources for COS to determine whether a request is valid.
    There are two ways to use the authentication credential:
    1. Put it in the header parameter; field name: authorization.
    2. Put it in the URL parameter; field name: sign.
    The COS.getAuthorization method is used to calculate the authentication credential (Authorization), which is the signing information used to verify the validity of the request.
    Note:
    We recommend you use this method only for frontend debugging but not in actual projects, as it may disclose keys.

    Sample code

    Obtain the authentication credential for object download:
    // Log in to https://console.tencentcloud.com/cam/capi to check and manage the SecretId and SecretKey of your project.
    var Authorization = COS.getAuthorization({
    SecretId: 'SECRETID', // User `SecretId`. We recommend you use a sub-account key and follow the principle of least privilege to reduce risks. For information about how to obtain a sub-account key, visit https://www.tencentcloud.com/document/product/598/37140?from_cn_redirect=1.
    SecretKey: 'SECRETKEY', // User `SecretKey`. We recommend you use a sub-account key and follow the principle of least privilege to reduce risks. For information about how to obtain a sub-account key, visit https://www.tencentcloud.com/document/product/598/37140?from_cn_redirect=1.
    Method: 'get',
    Key: 'exampleobject',
    Expires: 60,
    Query: {},
    Headers: {},
    });

    Getting a Pre-signed Request URL

    Download request samples

    Sample 1. Get an object URL without a signature
    var url = cos.getObjectUrl({
    Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
    Region: 'COS_REGION', /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
    Key: 'Profile photo.jpg', /* Object key stored in the bucket (such as `1.jpg` and `a/b/test.txt`). Required. */
    Sign: false,
    });
    Sample 2. Get a signed object URL
    var url = cos.getObjectUrl({
    Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
    Region: 'COS_REGION', /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
    Key: 'Profile photo.jpg', /* Object key stored in the bucket (such as `1.jpg` and `a/b/test.txt`). Required. */
    });
    Sample 3. Get a signed URL through callback
    Note:
    If the signing process is asynchronous, you need to get the signed URL through a callback.
    cos.getObjectUrl(
    {
    Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
    Region: 'COS_REGION', /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
    Key: 'Profile photo.jpg', /* Object key stored in the bucket (such as `1.jpg` and `a/b/test.txt`). Required. */
    Sign: false,
    },
    function (err, data) {
    console.log(err || data.Url);
    }
    );
    Sample 4. Specify the validity period of a link
    cos.getObjectUrl(
    {
    Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
    Region: 'COS_REGION', /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
    Key: 'Profile photo.jpg', /* Object key stored in the bucket (such as `1.jpg` and `a/b/test.txt`). Required. */
    Sign: true,
    Expires: 3600, // Unit: second
    },
    function (err, data) {
    console.log(err || data.Url);
    }
    );
    Sample 5. Get the object URL and download the object
    cos.getObjectUrl(
    {
    Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
    Region: 'COS_REGION', /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
    Key: 'Profile photo.jpg', /* Object key stored in the bucket (such as `1.jpg` and `a/b/test.txt`). Required. */
    Sign: true,
    },
    function (err, data) {
    if (err) return console.log(err);
    var downloadUrl =
    data.Url +
    (data.Url.indexOf('?') > -1 ? '&' : '?') +
    'response-content-disposition=attachment'; // Add the parameter for a forced download
    /* The filename can be concatenated to rename the object during download */
    /* downloadUrl += ';filename=myname'; */
    // (The window.open() mode is recommended.) This opens the URL in a new window. If you need to open the URL in the current window, you can use the hidden iframe for download, or use the <a> tag download attribute.
    window.open(downloadUrl);
    }
    );
    Sample 6. Generate the pre-signed URL with the signature containing Query and Header
    cos.getObjectUrl(
    {
    Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
    Region: 'COS_REGION', /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
    Key: 'Profile photo.jpg', /* Object key stored in the bucket (such as `1.jpg` and `a/b/test.txt`). Required. */
    Sign: true,
    /* The HTTP request parameters passed in should be the same as those of the actual request. This can prevent users from tampering with the HTTP request parameters. */
    Query: {
    'imageMogr2/thumbnail/200x/': '',
    },
    /* The HTTP request headers passed in should be included in the actual request. This can prevent users from tampering with the HTTP request headers that are signed here. */
    Headers: {
    host: 'xxx', /* Specified host for access. Error code 403 will be reported for access by a non-specified host. */
    },
    },
    function (err, data) {
    console.log(err || data.Url);
    }
    );

    Upload request samples

    Sample 1. Get a pre-signed URL for Put Object upload
    cos.getObjectUrl(
    {
    Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
    Region: 'COS_REGION', /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
    Key: 'Profile photo.jpg', /* Object key stored in the bucket (such as `1.jpg` and `a/b/test.txt`). Required. */
    Method: 'PUT',
    Sign: true,
    },
    function (err, data) {
    if (err) return console.log(err);
    console.log(data.Url);
    
    /* After the URL is obtained, the object can be uploaded in the frontend using AJAX. */
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('PUT', data.Url, true); /* `PUT` corresponds to the `Method` entered in `getObjectUrl` */
    xhr.onload = function (e) {
    console.log('Uploaded successfully', xhr.status, xhr.statusText);
    };
    xhr.onerror = function (e) {
