New API Documentation - Developer Preview Available
We are excited to announce the developer preview of our new API documentation for AWS SDK for JavaScript v3. Please follow instructions on the landing page to leave us your feedback.
Adds an object to a bucket. You must have WRITE permissions on a bucket to add an object
to it.
Amazon S3 never adds partial objects; if you receive a success response, Amazon S3 added the
entire object to the bucket. You cannot use PutObject to only update a
single piece of metadata for an existing object. You must put the entire object with
updated metadata if you want to update some values.
Amazon S3 is a distributed system. If it receives multiple write requests for the same object
simultaneously, it overwrites all but the last object written. To prevent objects from
being deleted or overwritten, you can use Amazon S3 Object
Lock.
To ensure that data is not corrupted traversing the network, use the
Content-MD5 header. When you use this header, Amazon S3 checks the object
against the provided MD5 value and, if they do not match, returns an error. Additionally,
you can calculate the MD5 while putting an object to Amazon S3 and compare the returned ETag to
the calculated MD5 value.
To successfully complete the PutObject request, you must have the
s3:PutObject in your IAM permissions.
To successfully change the objects acl of your PutObject request,
you must have the s3:PutObjectAcl in your IAM permissions.
To successfully set the tag-set with your PutObject request, you
must have the s3:PutObjectTagging in your IAM permissions.
The Content-MD5 header is required for any request to upload an
object with a retention period configured using Amazon S3 Object Lock. For more
information about Amazon S3 Object Lock, see Amazon S3 Object Lock
Overview in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
You have three mutually exclusive options to protect data using server-side encryption
in Amazon S3, depending on how you choose to manage the encryption keys. Specifically, the
encryption key options are Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3), Amazon Web Services KMS keys (SSE-KMS), and
customer-provided keys (SSE-C). Amazon S3 encrypts data with server-side encryption by using
Amazon S3 managed keys (SSE-S3) by default. You can optionally tell Amazon S3 to encrypt data at by
rest using server-side encryption with other key options. For more information, see Using
Server-Side Encryption.
When adding a new object, you can use headers to grant ACL-based permissions to
individual Amazon Web Services accounts or to predefined groups defined by Amazon S3. These permissions are
then added to the ACL on the object. By default, all objects are private. Only the owner
has full access control. For more information, see Access Control List (ACL) Overview
and Managing
ACLs Using the REST API.
If the bucket that you're uploading objects to uses the bucket owner enforced setting
for S3 Object Ownership, ACLs are disabled and no longer affect permissions. Buckets that
use this setting only accept PUT requests that don't specify an ACL or PUT requests that
specify bucket owner full control ACLs, such as the bucket-owner-full-control
canned ACL or an equivalent form of this ACL expressed in the XML format. PUT requests that
contain other ACLs (for example, custom grants to certain Amazon Web Services accounts) fail and return a
400 error with the error code AccessControlListNotSupported.
For more information, see Controlling ownership of
objects and disabling ACLs in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
If your bucket uses the bucket owner enforced setting for Object Ownership, all
objects written to the bucket by any account will be owned by the bucket owner.
By default, Amazon S3 uses the STANDARD Storage Class to store newly created objects. The
STANDARD storage class provides high durability and high availability. Depending on
performance needs, you can specify a different Storage Class. Amazon S3 on Outposts only uses
the OUTPOSTS Storage Class. For more information, see Storage Classes in the
Amazon S3 User Guide.
If you enable versioning for a bucket, Amazon S3 automatically generates a unique version ID
for the object being stored. Amazon S3 returns this ID in the response. When you enable
versioning for a bucket, if Amazon S3 receives multiple write requests for the same object
simultaneously, it stores all of the objects. For more information about versioning, see
Adding Objects to
Versioning-Enabled Buckets. For information about returning the versioning state
of a bucket, see GetBucketVersioning.

Example
To upload an object and specify optional tags
// The following example uploads an object. The request specifies optional object tags. The bucket is versioned, therefore S3 returns version ID of the newly created object. constinput = { "Body":"c:\\HappyFace.jpg", "Bucket":"examplebucket", "Key":"HappyFace.jpg", "Tagging":"key1=value1&key2=value2" }; constcommand = newPutObjectCommand(input); constresponse = awaitclient.send(command); /* response == { "ETag": "\"6805f2cfc46c0f04559748bb039d69ae\"", "VersionId": "psM2sYY4.o1501dSx8wMvnkOzSBB.V4a" } */ // example id: to-upload-an-object-and-specify-optional-tags-1481762310955
Example
To upload an object and specify canned ACL.
// The following example uploads and object. The request specifies optional canned ACL (access control list) to all READ access to authenticated users. If the bucket is versioning enabled, S3 returns version ID in response. constinput = { "ACL":"authenticated-read", "Body":"filetoupload", "Bucket":"examplebucket", "Key":"exampleobject" }; constcommand = newPutObjectCommand(input); constresponse = awaitclient.send(command); /* response == { "ETag": "\"6805f2cfc46c0f04559748bb039d69ae\"", "VersionId": "Kirh.unyZwjQ69YxcQLA8z4F5j3kJJKr" } */ // example id: to-upload-an-object-and-specify-canned-acl-1483397779571
