# Minio Go Client SDK for Amazon S3 Compatible Cloud Storage [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io)

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

**Supported cloud storage providers:** 

- AWS Signature Version 4
   - Amazon S3
   - Minio


- AWS Signature Version 2
   - Google Cloud Storage (Compatibility Mode)
   - Openstack Swift + Swift3 middleware
   - Ceph Object Gateway
   - Riak CS

This quickstart guide will show you how to install the Minio client SDK, connect to Minio, and provide a walkthrough for a simple file uploader. For a complete list of APIs and examples, please take a look at the [Go Client API Reference](https://docs.minio.io/docs/golang-client-api-reference).

This document assumes that you have a working [Go development environment](https://docs.minio.io/docs/how-to-install-golang).


## Download from Github

```sh

go get -u github.com/minio/minio-go

```
## Initialize Minio Client

Minio client requires the following four parameters specified to connect to an Amazon S3 compatible object storage.


| Parameter  | Description| 
| :---         |     :---     |
| endpoint   | URL to object storage service.   | 
| accessKeyID | Access key is the user ID that uniquely identifies your account. |   
| secretAccessKey | Secret key is the password to your account. |
| secure | Set this value to 'true' to enable secure (HTTPS) access. |


```go

package main

import (
	"github.com/minio/minio-go"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	endpoint := "play.minio.io:9000"
	accessKeyID := "Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F"
	secretAccessKey := "zuf+tfteSlswRu7BJ86wekitnifILbZam1KYY3TG"
	useSSL := true

	// Initialize minio client object.
	minioClient, err := minio.New(endpoint, accessKeyID, secretAccessKey, useSSL)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}

	log.Println("%v", minioClient) // minioClient is now setup


```

## Quick Start Example - File Uploader

This example program connects to an object storage server, creates a bucket and uploads a file to the bucket.




We will use the Minio server running at [https://play.minio.io:9000](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.

#### FileUploader.go

```go
package main

import (
	"github.com/minio/minio-go"
	"log"
)

func main() {
	endpoint := "play.minio.io:9000"
	accessKeyID := "Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F"
	secretAccessKey := "zuf+tfteSlswRu7BJ86wekitnifILbZam1KYY3TG"
	useSSL := true

	// Initialize minio client object.
	minioClient, err := minio.New(endpoint, accessKeyID, secretAccessKey, useSSL)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}

	// Make a new bucked called mymusic.
	bucketName := "mymusic"
	location := "us-east-1"

	err = minioClient.MakeBucket(bucketName, location)
	if err != nil {
		// Check to see if we already own this bucket (which happens if you run this twice)
		exists, err := minioClient.BucketExists(bucketName)
		if err == nil && exists {
			log.Printf("We already own %s\n", bucketName)
		} else {
			log.Fatalln(err)
		}
	}
	log.Printf("Successfully created %s\n", bucketName)

	// Upload the zip file
	objectName := "golden-oldies.zip"
	filePath := "/tmp/golden-oldies.zip"
	contentType := "application/zip"

	// Upload the zip file with FPutObject
	n, err := minioClient.FPutObject(bucketName, objectName, filePath, contentType)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln(err)
	}

	log.Printf("Successfully uploaded %s of size %d\n", objectName, n)
}
```

#### Run FileUploader

```sh

go run file-uploader.go
2016/08/13 17:03:28 Successfully created mymusic 
2016/08/13 17:03:40 Successfully uploaded golden-oldies.zip of size 16253413

mc ls play/mymusic/
[2016-05-27 16:02:16 PDT]  17MiB golden-oldies.zip

```
