Glacier Download Archive

See more Amazon Glacier Examples

Demonstrates how to download an Amazon Glacier archive. Downloading a Glacier archive is a two step process. First an archive retrieval job is initiated. After it completes, the job output is downloaded (i.e. the archive contents are downloaded.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.78 or greater.

Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$rest = chilkat::CkRest->new();

# Connect to the Amazon AWS REST server in the desired region.
$bTls = 1;
$port = 443;
$bAutoReconnect = 1;
$success = $rest->Connect("glacier.us-west-2.amazonaws.com",$port,$bTls,$bAutoReconnect);

# Provide AWS credentials.
$authAws = chilkat::CkAuthAws->new();
$authAws->put_AccessKey("AWS_ACCESS_KEY");
$authAws->put_SecretKey("AWS_SECRET_KEY");
$authAws->put_ServiceName("glacier");
$authAws->put_Region("us-west-2");

$success = $rest->SetAuthAws($authAws);

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Note: The above REST connection and setup of the AWS credentials
# can be done once.  After connecting, any number of REST calls can be made.
# The "auto reconnect" property passed to rest.Connect indicates that if
# the connection is lost, a REST method call will automatically reconnect
# if needed.

$rest->AddHeader("x-amz-glacier-version","2012-06-01");

# To download an archive, we'll make several method calls:
# 1) Send the HTTPS GET request.
# 2) Get the response body.
# 3) If the response status code indicates success, stream the response body (i.e the archive data) to a file.
# 4) If the response status code indicates an error, get the JSON error response.

# Send the GET request.
$success = $rest->SendReqNoBody("GET","/AWS_ACCOUNT_ID/vaults/chilkat/jobs/JOB_ID/output");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Read the response header.
$responseStatusCode = $rest->ReadResponseHeader();
if ($responseStatusCode < 0) {
    print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

print "Response status code = " . $responseStatusCode . "\r\n";

# We expect a 200 response status if the archive data is coming.
# Otherwise, we'll get a JSON response body with an error message(or no response body).
if ($responseStatusCode == 200) {

    $bodyStream = chilkat::CkStream->new();

    # The stream's sink will be a file.
    $bodyStream->put_SinkFile("qa_output/archiveData.dat");

    # Read the response body to the stream.
    $success = $rest->ReadRespBodyStream($bodyStream,1);
    if ($success != 1) {
        print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
        exit;
    }

    print "Successfully received the archive file." . "\r\n";

}

    $jsonError = $rest->readRespBodyString();
    if ($rest->get_LastMethodSuccess() != 1) {
        print $rest->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
