(C#) Get Object MetaData from Google Cloud Storage

Demonstrates how to download a Google Cloud Storage object's metadata.

Chilkat .NET Downloads Chilkat .NET Framework Chilkat for .NET Core

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// scope "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform"

// In this example, Get Google Cloud Storage OAuth2 Access Token, 
// the service account access token was saved to a text file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbToken = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
sbToken.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/googleCloudStorageAccessToken.txt","utf-8");

// Send a GET equivalent to this curl command.

// curl -X GET \
//     -H "Authorization: Bearer [OAUTH2_TOKEN]" \
//     -o "[SAVE_TO_LOCATION]" \
//     "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/[BUCKET_NAME]/o/[OBJECT_NAME]?projection=full"

Chilkat.Http http = new Chilkat.Http();

http.AuthToken = sbToken.GetAsString();

// Construct a URL to download the metadata for the object named "starfish.jpg" located in the "chilkat-ocean" bucket.
http.SetUrlVar("bucket_name","chilkat-ocean");
http.SetUrlVar("object_name","starfish.jpg");
string url = "https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/{$bucket_name}/o/{$object_name}?projection=full";

// If there is an error response, then we didn't actually download the metadata,
// but instead we downloaded an error response..
Chilkat.StringBuilder sbMetaData = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
bool success = http.DownloadSb(url,"utf-8",sbMetaData);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

int responseCode = http.LastStatus;
if (responseCode == 401) {
    Debug.WriteLine("If invalid credentials, then it is likely the access token expired.");
    Debug.WriteLine("Your app should automatically fetch a new access token and re-try.");
}

if (responseCode != 200) {
    Debug.WriteLine("Error response code = " + Convert.ToString(responseCode));
    Debug.WriteLine("Error:");
    Debug.WriteLine(sbMetaData.GetAsString());
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(sbMetaData.GetAsString());
Debug.WriteLine("Success.");
