Overview

This document provides an overview of APIs and SDK code samples related to object downloads.

API	Operation	Description
GET Object	Downloading an object	Downloads an object to the local file system.

SDK API References

For parameters and method description of all APIs in the SDK, please see SDK API Reference.

Advanced APIs (Recommended)

Download an object

The advanced version of the GET Object API uses more encapsulated logic to allow you to suspend, resume (via checkpoint restart), or cancel download requests.

Sample code 1. Downloading a single object

Objective-C

QCloudCOSXMLDownloadObjectRequest * request = [QCloudCOSXMLDownloadObjectRequest new];
// Bucket name in the format of BucketName-Appid, which can be viewed in the COS console at https://console.intl.cloud.tencent.com/cos5/bucket
request.bucket = @"examplebucket-1250000000";
// Object key, i.e. the full path of a COS object. If the object is in a directory, the path should be "video/xxx/movie.mp4"
request.object = @"exampleobject";
// Set the download URL. Once set, the file will be downloaded to the specified path
request.downloadingURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"Local File Path"];
// The size of the part of the file that has already been downloaded. Do not set this value for a new download operation
request.localCacheDownloadOffset = 100;
// Monitor the download result
[request setFinishBlock:^(id outputObject, NSError *error) {
   // `outputObject` contains all the HTTP response headers
   NSDictionary* info = (NSDictionary *) outputObject;
}];
// Monitor the download progress
[request setDownProcessBlock:^(int64_t bytesDownload,
                              int64_t totalBytesDownload,
                              int64_t totalBytesExpectedToDownload) {

   // bytesDownload                   Number of new bytes downloaded
   // totalBytesDownload              Total number of bytes received in the download
   // totalBytesExpectedToDownload    Target number of bytes expected to be downloaded
}];
[[QCloudCOSTransferMangerService defaultCOSTransferManager] DownloadObject:request];

Swift

let request : QCloudCOSXMLDownloadObjectRequest = QCloudCOSXMLDownloadObjectRequest();
// Bucket name in the format of BucketName-Appid, which can be viewed in the COS console at https://console.intl.cloud.tencent.com/cos5/bucket
request.bucket = "examplebucket-1250000000";
// Object key, i.e. the full path of a COS object. If the object is in a directory, the path should be "video/xxx/movie.mp4"
request.object = "exampleobject";

   } else {
       print(error!);
   }
}

Sample code 2. Suspending, resuming, or canceling a download

Objective-C

To suspend a download, use the code below:

[request cancel];

To resume a suspended download, use the code below:

// Size of the downloaded part of the file
int64_t localCacheDownloadOffset = 0;
request.localCacheDownloadOffset = localCacheDownloadOffset;

To cancel a download, use the code below:

[request cancel];

Note：

For the complete sample, please go to GitHub.

Swift

To suspend a download, use the code below:

request.cancel();

To resume a suspended download, use the code below:

// Size of the downloaded part of the file
let localCacheDownloadOffset = 100;
request.localCacheDownloadOffset = Int64(localCacheDownloadOffset);

To cancel a download, use the code below:

request.cancel();

Sample code 3. Resumable download

Objective-C

  QCloudCOSXMLDownloadObjectRequest *getObjectRequest = [[QCloudCOSXMLDownloadObjectRequest alloc] init];
   // Enable resumable download. Resumable download is disabled by default
   getObjectRequest.resumableDownload = true;
