3.Upload Files and Folders

3.1 Upload a single file

upload_file(bucket_name, object_name, file_path, replace=False)

Uploads a file to a bucket. Use the bucket_name to select the bucket, and object_name to select the path and file name of the uploaded file. file_path is the local path of the file.

from swan_mcs import APIClient, BucketAPI
mcs_api = APIClient("<API_KEY>", "<ACCESS_TOKEN>", "<CHAIN_NAME>")
bucket_client = BucketAPI(mcs_api)

# Object name is the destination path you want to upload to the bucket
# For example, if you want to upload the testfile.json file to path 111/222 in the TEST bucket, you would write: 
# bucket_client.upload_file("TEST", "111/222/testfile.json", "<FILE_PATH>")
bucket_client.upload_file("<BUCKET_NAME>", "<OBJECT_NAME>", "<FILE_PATH>")

Parameters

• bucket_name: The name of the bucket

• object_name: The object name of the file ex. 'folder1/file.png' will upload the file as file.png inside bucket_name/folder1
