Welcome to the third part of our download documentation! 🚀 Whether you're accessing files via the OSS API or using SDKs, this guide will help you navigate the process securely and efficiently.

Key Steps for Downloading from OSS

  1. Authenticate Your Request
    Always ensure you have valid credentials before initiating a download. Use STS tokens or permanent AccessKeys as needed.

  2. Use Secure Protocols
    Prefer HTTPS over HTTP to protect data in transit. 🔒

    • For SDKs, check the latest version compatibility.
    • For API calls, verify the endpoint URL format.

  3. Manage File Versions
    OSS supports versioning. If you need to retrieve a specific version:

    • Access the versioned bucket via the console.
    • Use the versionId parameter in API requests.

Best Practices

  • 📌 Monitor Download Metrics: Track bandwidth usage and request rates through the OSS Monitoring Dashboard.
  • ⚠️ Compress Large Files: Use tools like gzip or zip for efficient transfers.
  • 🔄 Automate with CLI: The OSS CLI tool simplifies batch downloads. Learn more at /en/oss/cli-guide.
