Minio Python Library for Amazon S3 Compatible Cloud Storage for Python

Minio Python Library for Amazon S3 Compatible Cloud Storage

The Minio Python Client SDK provides simple APIs to access any Amazon S3 compatible object storage server.

This quickstart guide will show you how to install the client SDK and execute an example python program. For a complete list of APIs and examples, please take a look at the Python Client API Reference documentation.

This document assumes that you have a working Python setup in place.

Download from pip

$ pip install minio

Download from source

$ git clone https://github.com/minio/minio-py
$ cd minio-py
$ python setup.py install

Initialize Minio Client

You need four items in order to connect to Minio object storage server.

Params	Description
endpoint	URL to object storage service.
access_key	Access key is like user ID that uniquely identifies your account.
secret_key	Secret key is the password to your account.
secure	Set this value to ‘True’ to enable secure (HTTPS) access.

from minio import Minio
from minio.error import ResponseError

minioClient = Minio('play.minio.io:9000',
                  access_key='Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F',
                  secret_key='zuf+tfteSlswRu7BJ86wekitnifILbZam1KYY3TG',
                  secure=True)

Quick Start Example - File Uploader

This example program connects to a Minio object storage server, makes a bucket on the server and then uploads a file to the bucket.

We will use the Minio server running at https://play.minio.io:9000 in this example. Feel free to use this service for testing and development. Access credentials shown in this example are open to the public.

file-uploader.py

# Import Minio library.
from minio import Minio
from minio.error import ResponseError

# Initialize minioClient with an endpoint and access/secret keys.
minioClient = Minio('play.minio.io:9000',
                    access_key='Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F',
                    secret_key='zuf+tfteSlswRu7BJ86wekitnifILbZam1KYY3TG',
                    secure=True)

# Make a bucket with the make_bucket API call.
try:
       minioClient.make_bucket("maylogs", location="us-east-1")
except ResponseError as err:
       print(err)
else:
        # Put an object 'pumaserver_debug.log' with contents from 'pumaserver_debug.log'.
        try:
               minioClient.fput_object('maylogs', 'pumaserver_debug.log', '/tmp/pumaserver_debug.log')
        except ResponseError as error:
               print(error)

Run file-uploader

$ python file_uploader.py

$ mc ls play/maylogs/
