We are excited to announce our new API Documentation.
Optional ChecksumThe algorithm that was used to create a checksum of the object.
Optional ETagThe entity tag is a hash of the object. The ETag reflects changes only to the contents of an object, not its metadata. The ETag may or may not be an MD5 digest of the object data. Whether or not it is depends on how the object was created and how it is encrypted as described below:
Objects created by the PUT Object, POST Object, or Copy operation, or through the Amazon Web Services Management Console, and are encrypted by SSE-S3 or plaintext, have ETags that are an MD5 digest of their object data.
Objects created by the PUT Object, POST Object, or Copy operation, or through the Amazon Web Services Management Console, and are encrypted by SSE-C or SSE-KMS, have ETags that are not an MD5 digest of their object data.
If an object is created by either the Multipart Upload or Part Copy operation, the ETag is not an MD5 digest, regardless of the method of encryption. If an object is larger than 16 MB, the Amazon Web Services Management Console will upload or copy that object as a Multipart Upload, and therefore the ETag will not be an MD5 digest.
Optional KeyThe name that you assign to an object. You use the object key to retrieve the object.
Optional LastCreation date of the object.
Optional OwnerThe owner of the object
Optional RestoreSpecifies the restoration status of an object. Objects in certain storage classes must be restored before they can be retrieved. For more information about these storage classes and how to work with archived objects, see Working with archived objects in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
Optional SizeSize in bytes of the object
Optional StorageThe class of storage used to store the object.
An object consists of data and its descriptive metadata.
