In this article, we will learn how to download an S3 object from an S3 bucket using the Java API.
To begin, let’s open the Amazon S3 service and locate the bucket named ‘mayank videos’. This bucket contains a file named ‘dabc.txt’ with some contents.
To download this file to our local machine, we need to set up a simple project in IntelliJ or any other IDE. We also need to download the S3 SDK, which can be done by adding the necessary dependencies to the build.gradle or pom.xml file.
Once the project is set up and the SDK is downloaded, we can write the code to download the file. We will use the S3 Java SDK to interact with the S3 service.
First, we need to provide the bucket name and the object key (file name or path) of the file we want to download. We also need to provide the access key and secret key of a user with the necessary permissions to access the S3 bucket.
After setting up the code, we can run it and the file will be downloaded to the current directory.
That’s it! Now you know how to download an S3 object using the Java API. Feel free to explore more features and functionalities of the S3 SDK.
Please note that the access key and secret key used in this article are for demonstration purposes only. In a real-world scenario, it is recommended to use secure methods to store and retrieve these credentials.
