aws-sdk-go
Last updated Apr 21, 2026
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.
This example uses version 2 of the aws-sdk-go ↗︎ package. You must pass in the R2 configuration credentials when instantiating your S3 service client:
package main
import (
"context"
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/aws"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/config"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/credentials"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/s3"
"log"
)
func main() {
var bucketName = "sdk-example"
// Provide your Cloudflare account ID
var accountId = "<ACCOUNT_ID>"
// Retrieve your S3 API credentials for your R2 bucket via API tokens
// (see: https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/api/tokens)
var accessKeyId = "<ACCESS_KEY_ID>"
var accessKeySecret = "<SECRET_ACCESS_KEY>"
cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.TODO(),
config.WithCredentialsProvider(credentials.NewStaticCredentialsProvider(accessKeyId, accessKeySecret, "")),
config.WithRegion("auto"), // Required by SDK but not used by R2
)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
client := s3.NewFromConfig(cfg, func(o *s3.Options) {
o.BaseEndpoint = aws.String(fmt.Sprintf("https://%s.r2.cloudflarestorage.com", accountId))
})
listObjectsOutput, err := client.ListObjectsV2(context.TODO(), &s3.ListObjectsV2Input{
Bucket: &bucketName,
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, object := range listObjectsOutput.Contents {
obj, _ := json.MarshalIndent(object, "", "\t")
fmt.Println(string(obj))
}
// {
// "ChecksumAlgorithm": null,
// "ETag": "\"eb2b891dc67b81755d2b726d9110af16\"",
// "Key": "ferriswasm.png",
// "LastModified": "2022-05-18T17:20:21.67Z",
// "Owner": null,
// "Size": 87671,
// "StorageClass": "STANDARD"
// }
listBucketsOutput, err := client.ListBuckets(context.TODO(), &s3.ListBucketsInput{})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
for _, object := range listBucketsOutput.Buckets {
obj, _ := json.MarshalIndent(object, "", "\t")
fmt.Println(string(obj))
}
// {
// "CreationDate": "2022-05-18T17:19:59.645Z",
// "Name": "sdk-example"
// }
}
Generate presigned URLs
You can also generate presigned links that can be used to temporarily share public write access to a bucket.
presignClient := s3.NewPresignClient(client)
presignResult, err := presignClient.PresignPutObject(context.TODO(), &s3.PutObjectInput{
Bucket: aws.String(bucketName),
Key: aws.String("example.txt"),
})
if err != nil {
panic("Couldn't get presigned URL for PutObject")
}
fmt.Printf("Presigned URL For object: %s\n", presignResult.URL)
