get-object-tagging

Description

Returns the tag-set of an object. You send the GET request against the tagging subresource associated with the object.

To use this operation, you must have permission to perform the s3:GetObjectTagging action. By default, the GET action returns information about current version of an object. For a versioned bucket, you can have multiple versions of an object in your bucket. To retrieve tags of any other version, use the versionId query parameter. You also need permission for the s3:GetObjectVersionTagging action.

By default, the bucket owner has this permission and can grant this permission to others.

For information about the Amazon S3 object tagging feature, see Object Tagging .

The following action is related to GetObjectTagging :

• PutObjectTagging
• DeleteObjectTagging

Synopsis

  get-object-tagging
--bucket <value>
--key <value>
[--version-id <value>]
[--expected-bucket-owner <value>]
[--request-payer <value>]
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--bucket (string)

The bucket name containing the object for which to get the tagging information.

When using this action with an access point, you must direct requests to the access point hostname. The access point hostname takes the form AccessPointName -AccountId .s3-accesspoint.*Region* .amazonaws.com. When using this action with an access point through the Amazon Web Services SDKs, you provide the access point ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about access point ARNs, see Using access points in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

When using this action with Amazon S3 on Outposts, you must direct requests to the S3 on Outposts hostname. The S3 on Outposts hostname takes the form AccessPointName -AccountId .*outpostID* .s3-outposts.*Region* .amazonaws.com. When using this action using S3 on Outposts through the Amazon Web Services SDKs, you provide the Outposts bucket ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about S3 on Outposts ARNs, see Using S3 on Outposts in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

--key (string)

Object key for which to get the tagging information.

--version-id (string)

The versionId of the object for which to get the tagging information.

--expected-bucket-owner (string)

The account ID of the expected bucket owner. If the bucket is owned by a different account, the request will fail with an HTTP 403 (Access Denied) error.

--request-payer (string)

Confirms that the requester knows that they will be charged for the request. Bucket owners need not specify this parameter in their requests. For information about downloading objects from requester pays buckets, see Downloading Objects in Requestor Pays Buckets in the Amazon S3 User Guide .

Possible values:

• requester

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To retrieve the tags attached to an object

The following get-object-tagging example retrieves the values for the specified key from the specified object.

aws s3api get-object-tagging \
    --bucket my-bucket \
    --key doc1.rtf

Output:

{
    "TagSet": [
        {
            "Value": "confidential",
            "Key": "designation"
        }
    ]
}

The following get-object-tagging example tries to retrieve the tag sets of the object doc2.rtf, which has no tags.

aws s3api get-object-tagging \
    --bucket my-bucket \
    --key doc2.rtf

Output:

{
    "TagSet": []
}

The following get-object-tagging example retrieves the tag sets of the object doc3.rtf, which has multiple tags.

aws s3api get-object-tagging \
    --bucket my-bucket \
    --key doc3.rtf

Output:

{
    "TagSet": [
        {
            "Value": "confidential",
            "Key": "designation"
        },
        {
            "Value": "finance",
            "Key": "department"
        },
        {
            "Value": "payroll",
            "Key": "team"
        }
    ]
}
