How to use the API

Before you start

To use the API:

  1. Create a service account .
  2. Get the necessary roles.
  3. Get a static key. Static key authorization is required to access the HTTP API directly and is supported by the tools listed in the section Supported tools.

For a list of supported Amazon S3 HTTP API methods, see the API reference.

General format of an API request

General request format:

{GET|HEAD|PUT|DELETE} {path} HTTP/1.1

Request_body

Read more about headers in the section Common request headers. The set of headers depends on a particular request.

If you use the API directly (without the SDK or apps), you will need to generate the Authorization header yourself for authenticating requests. Find out how to do this in the Amazon S3 documentation, the section Authenticating Requests (AWS Signature Version 4).
