boto3

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.


You must configure boto3 ↗ to use a preconstructed endpoint_url value. This can be done through any boto3 usage that accepts connection arguments; for example:

import boto3


s3 = boto3.resource('s3',
  endpoint_url = 'https://<accountid>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com',
  aws_access_key_id = '<access_key_id>',
  aws_secret_access_key = '<access_key_secret>'
)

You may, however, omit the aws_access_key_id and aws_secret_access_key arguments and allow boto3 to rely on the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables ↗ instead.

An example script may look like the following:

import boto3


s3 = boto3.client(
    service_name ="s3",
    endpoint_url = 'https://<accountid>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com',
    aws_access_key_id = '<access_key_id>',
    aws_secret_access_key = '<access_key_secret>',
    region_name="<location>", # Must be one of: wnam, enam, weur, eeur, apac, auto
)


# Get object information
object_information = s3.head_object(Bucket=<R2_BUCKET_NAME>, Key=<FILE_KEY_NAME>)


# Upload/Update single file
s3.upload_fileobj(io.BytesIO(file_content), <R2_BUCKET_NAME>, <FILE_KEY_NAME>)


# Delete object
s3.delete_object(Bucket=<R2_BUCKET_NAME>, Key=<FILE_KEY_NAME>)
