Using Requester Pays

This page describes how to set up the Requester Pays feature and gives an example of making a request on a bucket that has enabled the Requester Pays feature. For a description of this feature, see Requester Pays.

Setting up Requester Pays

The following sections show how to turn Requester Pays on and off, as well as how to check to see if Requester Pays is enabled on a bucket.

Prerequisites

1. To enable and disable requester pays, you must have the storage.buckets.update permission. When using gsutil, you must also have the storage.buckets.setIamPolicy permission.

2. To get the requester pays status for a bucket, you must have the storage.buckets.get permission.

Permissions are granted to users through roles. For example, users with the roles/storage.admin role hold all of the above permissions. Roles can be either added to the desired bucket or added to the project that contains the bucket.

Enabling Requester Pays

To enable Requester Pays on a bucket:

Console

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Platform Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. In the list of buckets, find the bucket you want to enable, and click the Off button in the Requester pays column.

3. In the window that appears, click Enable.

Once enabled, a green bubble and On appear in the Requester pays column for the bucket.

gsutil

Use the gsutil requesterpays set on command, replacing [VALUES_IN_BRACKETS] with the appropriate values:

gsutil requesterpays set on gs://[BUCKET_NAME]

Accessing Requester Pays buckets

The following example shows how to include a billing project so that you can download an object stored in a Requester Pays bucket. Use a similar procedure to perform other requests on the Requester Pays bucket or on objects within it. See Requester Pays access requirements for prerequisite considerations.

Important: Buckets that have Requester Pays disabled still accept requests that include a billing project, and charges are applied to the billing project supplied in the request. Consider any billing implications prior to including a billing project in all of your requests.

Console

Note: If you previously used the Console to access a given Requester Pays bucket, you have immediate access to the bucket and can download the object as you normally would. The project you previously specified as the billing project is used for this subsequent access. You can change the project you bill by clicking the Change project button located above the list of objects in the bucket.

1. Open the Cloud Storage browser in the Google Cloud Platform Console.
   Open the Cloud Storage browser

2. In the list of buckets, click on the bucket that contains the object you want to download.

3. In the window that appears, use the dropdown menu to select a project for billing.

4. Check the checkbox to confirm you are authorized to use the selected project for billing purposes.

5. Click Save.

6. Download the object as you normally would.

gsutil

Use the -u flag in your request along with the ID of the project to be billed, replacing [VALUES_IN_BRACKETS] with the appropriate values:

gsutil -u [PROJECT_ID] cp gs://[BUCKET_NAME]/[OBJECT_NAME] [OBJECT_DESTINATION]
