GetObject
Retrieves an object from Amazon S3.
In the GetObject
request, specify the full key name for the object.
General purpose buckets - Both the virtual-hosted-style
requests and the path-style requests are supported. For a virtual hosted-style request
example, if you have the object photos/2006/February/sample.jpg
, specify the
object key name as /photos/2006/February/sample.jpg
. For a path-style request
example, if you have the object photos/2006/February/sample.jpg
in the bucket
named examplebucket
, specify the object key name as
/examplebucket/photos/2006/February/sample.jpg
. For more information about
request types, see HTTP Host
Header Bucket Specification in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
Directory buckets -
Only virtual-hosted-style requests are supported. For a virtual hosted-style request example, if you have the object photos/2006/February/sample.jpg
in the bucket named examplebucket--use1-az5--x-s3
, specify the object key name as /photos/2006/February/sample.jpg
. Also, when you make requests to this API operation, your requests are sent to the Zonal endpoint. These endpoints support virtual-hosted-style requests in the format https://bucket_name.s3express-az_id.region.amazonaws.com/key-name
. Path-style requests are not supported. For more information, see Regional and Zonal endpoints in the
Amazon S3 User Guide.
- Permissions
-
-
General purpose bucket permissions - You must have the required permissions in a policy. To use
GetObject
, you must have theREAD
access to the object (or version). If you grantREAD
access to the anonymous user, theGetObject
operation returns the object without using an authorization header. For more information, see Specifying permissions in a policy in the Amazon S3 User Guide.If you include a
versionId
in your request header, you must have thes3:GetObjectVersion
permission to access a specific version of an object. Thes3:GetObject
permission is not required in this scenario.If you request the current version of an object without a specific
versionId
in the request header, only thes3:GetObject
permission is required. Thes3:GetObjectVersion
permission is not required in this scenario.If the object that you request doesn’t exist, the error that Amazon S3 returns depends on whether you also have the
s3:ListBucket
permission.-
If you have the
s3:ListBucket
permission on the bucket, Amazon S3 returns an HTTP status code404 Not Found
error. -
If you don’t have the
s3:ListBucket
permission, Amazon S3 returns an HTTP status code403 Access Denied
error.
-
-
Directory bucket permissions - To grant access to this API operation on a directory bucket, we recommend that you use the
CreateSession
API operation for session-based authorization. Specifically, you grant thes3express:CreateSession
permission to the directory bucket in a bucket policy or an IAM identity-based policy. Then, you make theCreateSession
API call on the bucket to obtain a session token. With the session token in your request header, you can make API requests to this operation. After the session token expires, you make anotherCreateSession
API call to generate a new session token for use. Amazon CLI or SDKs create session and refresh the session token automatically to avoid service interruptions when a session expires. For more information about authorization, seeCreateSession
.If the object is encrypted using SSE-KMS, you must also have the
kms:GenerateDataKey
andkms:Decrypt
permissions in IAM identity-based policies and Amazon KMS key policies for the Amazon KMS key.
-
- Storage classes
-
If the object you are retrieving is stored in the S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval storage class, the S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage class, the S3 Intelligent-Tiering Archive Access tier, or the S3 Intelligent-Tiering Deep Archive Access tier, before you can retrieve the object you must first restore a copy using RestoreObject. Otherwise, this operation returns an
InvalidObjectState
error. For information about restoring archived objects, see Restoring Archived Objects in the Amazon S3 User Guide.Directory buckets - For directory buckets, only the S3 Express One Zone storage class is supported to store newly created objects. Unsupported storage class values won't write a destination object and will respond with the HTTP status code
400 Bad Request
. - Encryption
-
Encryption request headers, like
x-amz-server-side-encryption
, should not be sent for theGetObject
requests, if your object uses server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed encryption keys (SSE-S3), server-side encryption with Amazon Key Management Service (Amazon KMS) keys (SSE-KMS), or dual-layer server-side encryption with Amazon KMS keys (DSSE-KMS). If you include the header in yourGetObject
requests for the object that uses these types of keys, you’ll get an HTTP400 Bad Request
error.Directory buckets - For directory buckets, there are only two supported options for server-side encryption: SSE-S3 and SSE-KMS. SSE-C isn't supported. For more information, see Protecting data with server-side encryption in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
- Overriding response header values through the request
-
There are times when you want to override certain response header values of a
GetObject
response. For example, you might override theContent-Disposition
response header value through yourGetObject
request.You can override values for a set of response headers. These modified response header values are included only in a successful response, that is, when the HTTP status code
200 OK
is returned. The headers you can override using the following query parameters in the request are a subset of the headers that Amazon S3 accepts when you create an object.The response headers that you can override for the
GetObject
response areCache-Control
,Content-Disposition
,Content-Encoding
,Content-Language
,Content-Type
, andExpires
.To override values for a set of response headers in the
GetObject
response, you can use the following query parameters in the request.-
response-cache-control
-
response-content-disposition
-
response-content-encoding
-
response-content-language
-
response-content-type
-
response-expires
Note
When you use these parameters, you must sign the request by using either an Authorization header or a presigned URL. These parameters cannot be used with an unsigned (anonymous) request.

Sample Response for general purpose buckets: If an object is archived with the S3 Intelligent-Tiering Archive or S3 Intelligent-Tiering Deep Archive tiers
If the object you are retrieving is stored in the S3 Intelligent-Tiering Archive or
S3 Intelligent-Tiering Deep Archive tiers, you must first restore a copy using RestoreObject. Otherwise, this action returns an
InvalidObjectState
error. When restoring from Archive Access or
Deep Archive Access tiers, the response will include StorageClass
and
AccessTier
elements. Access tier valid values are
ARCHIVE_ACCESS
and DEEP_ARCHIVE_ACCESS
. There is no
syntax change if there is an ongoing restore.
