aws CLI

You must generate an Access Key before getting started. All examples will utilize access_key_id and access_key_secret variables which represent the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key values you generated.

With the aws ↗ CLI installed, you may run aws configure ↗ to configure a new profile. You will be prompted with a series of questions for the new profile’s details.

aws configure

AWS Access Key ID [None]: <access_key_id>
AWS Secret Access Key [None]: <access_key_secret>
Default region name [None]: auto
Default output format [None]: json

You may then use the aws CLI for any of your normal workflows.

aws s3api list-buckets --endpoint-url https://<accountid>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com

Generate presigned URLs

You can also generate presigned links which allow you to share public access to a file temporarily.

# You can pass the --expires-in flag to determine how long the presigned link is valid.
$ aws s3 presign --endpoint-url https://<accountid>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com  s3://sdk-example/ferriswasm.png --expires-in 3600
# https://<accountid>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/sdk-example/ferriswasm.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=<credential>&X-Amz-Date=<timestamp>&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=<signature>
