Object Store API¶

For details on how to use this API, see Using OpenStack Object Store

The Object Store Class¶

The Object Store high-level interface is exposed as the object_store object on Connection objects.

Account Operations¶

class openstack.object_store.v1._proxy.Proxy(*args, **kwargs)¶

get_account_metadata()¶

Get metadata for this account.

Return type:	`Account`

set_account_metadata(**metadata)¶

Set metadata for this account.

Parameters:	metadata (kwargs) – Key/value pairs to be set as metadata on the container. Custom metadata can be set. Custom metadata are keys and values defined by the user.

delete_account_metadata(keys)¶

Delete metadata for this account.

Parameters:	keys – The keys of metadata to be deleted.

Container Operations¶

class openstack.object_store.v1._proxy.Proxy(*args, **kwargs)

create_container(name, **attrs)¶

Create a new container from attributes

Parameters:	container – Name of the container to create. attrs (dict) – Keyword arguments which will be used to create a `Container`, comprised of the properties on the Container class.
Returns:	The results of container creation
Return type:	`Container`

delete_container(container, ignore_missing=True)¶

Delete a container

Parameters:	container – The value can be either the name of a container or a `Container` instance. ignore_missing (bool) – When set to `False` `ResourceNotFound` will be raised when the container does not exist. When set to `True`, no exception will be set when attempting to delete a nonexistent server.
Returns:	`None`

containers(**query)¶

Obtain Container objects for this account.

Parameters:	query (kwargs) – Optional query parameters to be sent to limit the resources being returned.
Return type:	A generator of `Container` objects.

get_container_metadata(container)¶

Get metadata for a container

Parameters:	container – The value can be the name of a container or a `Container` instance.
Returns:	One `Container`
Raises:	`ResourceNotFound` when no resource can be found.

set_container_metadata(container, **metadata)¶

Set metadata for a container.

Parameters:

Parameters:	container – The value can be the name of a container or a `Container` instance. metadata (kwargs) – Key/value pairs to be set as metadata on the container. Both custom and system metadata can be set. Custom metadata are keys and values defined by the user. System metadata are keys defined by the Object Store and values defined by the user. The system metadata keys are: content_type is_content_type_detected versions_location read_ACL write_ACL sync_to sync_key

container – The value can be the name of a container or a Container instance.
metadata (kwargs) –
Key/value pairs to be set as metadata on the container. Both custom and system metadata can be set. Custom metadata are keys and values defined by the user. System metadata are keys defined by the Object Store and values defined by the user. The system metadata keys are:
- content_type
- is_content_type_detected
- versions_location
- read_ACL
- write_ACL
- sync_to
- sync_key

delete_container_metadata(container, keys)¶

Delete metadata for a container.

Parameters:	container – The value can be the ID of a container or a `Container` instance. keys – The keys of metadata to be deleted.

Object Operations¶

class openstack.object_store.v1._proxy.Proxy(*args, **kwargs)

upload_object(container, name, **attrs)¶

Upload a new object from attributes

Parameters:	container – The value can be the name of a container or a `Container` instance. name – Name of the object to create. attrs (dict) – Keyword arguments which will be used to create a `Object`, comprised of the properties on the Object class.
Returns:	The results of object creation
Return type:	`Container`

download_object(obj, container=None, **attrs)¶

Download the data contained inside an object.

Parameters:	obj – The value can be the name of an object or a `Object` instance. container – The value can be the name of a container or a `Container` instance.
Raises:	`ResourceNotFound` when no resource can be found.

copy_object()¶: Copy an object.

delete_object(obj, ignore_missing=True, container=None)¶

Delete an object

Parameters:	obj – The value can be either the name of an object or a `Container` instance. container – The value can be the ID of a container or a `Container` instance. ignore_missing (bool) – When set to `False` `ResourceNotFound` will be raised when the object does not exist. When set to `True`, no exception will be set when attempting to delete a nonexistent server.
Returns:	`None`

get_object(obj, container=None)¶

Get the data associated with an object

Parameters:	obj – The value can be the name of an object or a `Object` instance. container – The value can be the name of a container or a `Container` instance.
Returns:	The contents of the object. Use the `get_object_metadata()` method if you want an object resource.
Raises:	`ResourceNotFound` when no resource can be found.

objects(container, **query)¶

Return a generator that yields the Container’s objects.

Parameters:	container (`Container`) – A container object or the name of a container that you want to retrieve objects from. query (kwargs) – Optional query parameters to be sent to limit the resources being returned.
Return type:	A generator of `Object` objects.

get_object_metadata(obj, container=None)¶

Get metadata for an object.

Parameters:	obj – The value can be the name of an object or a `Object` instance. container – The value can be the ID of a container or a `Container` instance.
Returns:	One `Object`
Raises:	`ResourceNotFound` when no resource can be found.

set_object_metadata(obj, container=None, **metadata)¶

Set metadata for an object.

Note: This method will do an extra HEAD call.

Parameters:

Parameters:	obj – The value can be the name of an object or a `Object` instance. container – The value can be the name of a container or a `Container` instance. metadata (kwargs) – Key/value pairs to be set as metadata on the container.
