# aws-sdk-go

You must [generate an Access Key](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/r2/api/tokens/) before getting started. All examples will utilize `access_key_id` and `access_key_secret` variables which represent the **Access Key ID** and **Secret Access Key** values you generated.

  
This example uses version 2 of the [aws-sdk-go ↗](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2) package. You must pass in the R2 configuration credentials when instantiating your `S3` service client:

```go
package main


import (
  "context"
  "encoding/json"
  "fmt"
  "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws"
  "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config"
  "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/credentials"
  "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/s3"
  "log"
)


func main() {
  var bucketName = "sdk-example"
  // Provide your Cloudflare account ID
  var accountId = "<ACCOUNT_ID>"
  // Retrieve your S3 API credentials for your R2 bucket via API tokens
  // (see: https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/r2/api/tokens)
  var accessKeyId = "<ACCESS_KEY_ID>"
  var accessKeySecret = "<SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>"


  cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.TODO(),
    config.WithCredentialsProvider(credentials.NewStaticCredentialsProvider(accessKeyId, accessKeySecret, "")),
    config.WithRegion("auto"), // Required by SDK but not used by R2
  )
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }


  client := s3.NewFromConfig(cfg, func(o *s3.Options) {
      o.BaseEndpoint = aws.String(fmt.Sprintf("https://%s.r2.cloudflarestorage.com", accountId))
  })


  listObjectsOutput, err := client.ListObjectsV2(context.TODO(), &s3.ListObjectsV2Input{
    Bucket: &bucketName,
  })
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }


  for _, object := range listObjectsOutput.Contents {
    obj, _ := json.MarshalIndent(object, "", "\t")
    fmt.Println(string(obj))
  }


  //  {
  //    "ChecksumAlgorithm": null,
  //    "ETag": "\"eb2b891dc67b81755d2b726d9110af16\"",
  //    "Key": "ferriswasm.png",
  //    "LastModified": "2022-05-18T17:20:21.67Z",
  //    "Owner": null,
  //    "Size": 87671,
  //    "StorageClass": "STANDARD"
  //  }


  listBucketsOutput, err := client.ListBuckets(context.TODO(), &s3.ListBucketsInput{})
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }


  for _, object := range listBucketsOutput.Buckets {
    obj, _ := json.MarshalIndent(object, "", "\t")
    fmt.Println(string(obj))
  }


  // {
  //     "CreationDate": "2022-05-18T17:19:59.645Z",
  //     "Name": "sdk-example"
  // }
}
```

## Generate presigned URLs

You can also generate presigned links that can be used to temporarily share public write access to a bucket.

```go
presignClient := s3.NewPresignClient(client)


  presignResult, err := presignClient.PresignPutObject(context.TODO(), &s3.PutObjectInput{
    Bucket: aws.String(bucketName),
    Key:    aws.String("example.txt"),
  })


  if err != nil {
    panic("Couldn't get presigned URL for PutObject")
  }


  fmt.Printf("Presigned URL For object: %s\n", presignResult.URL)
```
