The Cloud Storage XML API uses several standard HTTP headers as well as several extension (custom) HTTP headers. Several of the HTTP methods also support query string parameters. The headers and parameters are described below.
HTTP headers and query string parameters summary
The XML API uses the following standard HTTP headers:
The XML API uses the following extension (custom) HTTP headers:
The XML API uses the following query string parameters:
Standard HTTP headers
Authorization
A request header that contains a string used to authenticate requests.
| Valid Values | One of the following:
|
| Example | Authorization: Bearer ya29.AHES6ZRVmB7fkLtd1XTmq6mo0S1wqZZi3-Lh_s- ... |
| Details |
To create a sample OAuth 2.0 access token for testing, you can use the OAuth 2.0 playground. Note: If your requests are being routed
through a proxy, you may need to check with your network administrator
to ensure that the |
Cache-Control
A request and response header that specifies the cache-control setting.
| Valid Values | Any valid cache-control value (see the specification). |
| Example | Cache-Control: public, max-age=6000 |
| Details | You should specify cache-control only for objects that are accessible to
all anonymous users. To be anonymously accessible, an object's ACL must
grant READ or FULL_CONTROL permission to
AllUsers. If an object is accessible to all anonymous users
and you do not specify a cache-control setting, Cloud Storage
applies a cache-control setting of 3600 seconds. When serving via XML,
Cloud Storage respects the cache-control of the object as set by
its metadata. |
Content-Disposition
A request and response header that specifies presentational information about the data being transmitted.
| Valid Values | Any valid content disposition value (see the specification). |
| Example | Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=FILENAME |
| Details | If you set the Content-Disposition header when uploading an object, it
will be served at download time (and subsequently interpreted by web
browsers and other HTTP clients). A common use for Content-Disposition is
setting it to
attachment;filename=FILENAME,
typically causing the web browser to open a "Save As..." dialog box. |
Content-Encoding
A request and response header that specifies the compression algorithm for an
object. This header is also used for requests that use a V4 signature in
the Authorization header and upload data in chunks.
| Valid Values | Any valid compression algorithm (see the
specification) or aws-chunked |
| Example | Content-Encoding: gzip |
| Details | Cloud Storage does not compress objects and only decompresses
objects in certain scenarios. If
you use this header to specify a compression type algorithm (for example,
deflate), Cloud Storage preserves the header as
object metadata, but does not
compress or decompress the object.
If an upload request uses |
Content-Language
Language code of the content.
| Valid Values | A string of up to 100 characters. See the ISO 639-1 column of Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages for a list of language codes. |
| Example | Content-Language: en |
Content-Length
The length (in bytes) of the request or response body.
| Valid Values | Any value of zero or greater. |
| Example | Content-Length: 1234 |
| Details | This is required for all requests except those that use chunked transfer
encoding (see the
specification).
If you do not use chunked transfer encoding and you do not include the
Content-Length header in a request, the request fails and
Cloud Storage responds with a 411 Length Required status
code. |
Content-MD5
The MD5 digest of the request body.
| Valid Values | A valid MD5 digest. |
| Example | Content-MD5: iB94gawbwUSiZy5FuruIOQ== |
| Details | See the
specification.
Cloud Storage can use this to check the integrity of a
PUT operation. |
Content-Range
A request or response header that specifies a byte range.
| Valid Values | Any valid byte range. |
| Example | Content-Range: bytes 456-987/1234 |
| Details | When appearing in a response, the When included as part of a resumable
upload request, Byte ranges are inclusive; that is, For additional details, particularly regarding download responses, see the specification. |
Content-Type
The MIME type of the request or response.
| Valid Values | Any valid MIME type (see the specification). |
| Example | Content-Type: text/html |
| Details | If you do not specify a content type when you upload an object, the
Cloud Storage system defaults to
application/octet-stream
when it serves the object. |
Date
The date and time of the request or response.
| Valid Values | A date and time represented in conventional HTTP format (see the specification). |
| Example | Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:11:11 GMT |
| Details | When used to create
signed URLs using
the V2 signing process, the format should be in conventional HTTP format;
see section 7.1.1.2 of
the specification. When using the V4 signing process, the format
should be in the ISO
8601 basic format YYYYMMDD'T'HHMMSS'Z'. |
ETag
A response header that contains the entity tag of the object being accessed.
| Valid Values | A string of characters enclosed by quotes. For more information, see Object metadata. |

| Valid Values | A valid entity tag. |
| Example | If-Match: "881f7881ac1bc144a2672e45babb8839" |
| Details | You can use this header with the HEAD Object and GET Object methods. If the ETag you specify with this header is the same as the ETag for the object, then the metadata or the object is returned. If the ETag you specify with this header is different than the ETag for the object, then the metadata or the object is not returned and Cloud Storage returns a 412 Precondition Failed error code. For more details, see the specification. |
If-Modified-Since
A request header that specifies a date and time.
| Valid Values | A date and time represented in conventional HTTP format. |
| Example | If-Modified-Since: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:04:23 GMT |
| Details | You can use this header with the HEAD Object and GET Object methods. If
an object has been modified later than the date and time you specify with
this header, then the metadata or the object is returned. If an object has
been modified earlier than the date and time you specify with this header,
then the metadata or the object is not returned and Cloud Storage
returns a 304 Not
Modified status code.
For more information about the If-Modified-Since header, see the specification. For more detail about HTTP date formats, see the specification, Section 7.1.1.2. |
If-None-Match
A request header that specifies an entity tag (ETag).
| Valid Values | A valid entity tag. |
| Example | If-None-Match: "881f7881ac1bc144a2672e45babb8839" |

If the ETag you specify with this header is different from the ETag for the object, then the metadata or the object is returned. If the ETag you specify with this header is the same as the ETag of the object, then the metadata or the object is not returned and Cloud Storage returns a 304 Not Modified status code. For more details, see the specification. |
If-Unmodified-Since
A request header that specifies a date and time.
| Valid Values | A date and time represented in conventional HTTP format. |
| Example | If-Unmodified-Since: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:04:23 GMT |
| Details | You can use this header with the HEAD Object and GET Object methods. If
the object has not been modified later than the date you specify with this
header, then the metadata or the object is returned. If the object has
been modified later than the date you specify with this header, then the
metadata or the object is not returned and Cloud Storage returns
a 412 Precondition
Failed error code.
For more information about the If-Unmodified-Since header, see the specification. For more information about HTTP date formats, see the specification, Section 7.1.1.2. |
Last-Modified
A response header that contains the date and time that the object was last modified.
| Valid Values | A date and time represented in conventional HTTP format. |
| Example | Last-Modified: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 22:04:23 GMT |
| Details | For more information about the Last-Modified header, see the specification. For more information about HTTP date formats, see the specification, Section 7.1.1.2. |
Location
A response header used for several purposes:
- In response to initiating a resumable upload it provides you with a session URI for a resumable upload operation.
- In response to completing a multipart upload it provides you with an endpoint for accessing the assembled object.
- In response to a Cookie-based authentication request it provides you with a unique web origin response URL for the request.
- In response to a JSON API download request made at a URL other than
www.googleapis.com/downloadit provides a redirect to the JSON API URL where the download can be made.
| Valid Values | Any valid URI. |
| Example | Location: https://example.storage.googleapis.com/?upload_id=tvA0...rot |
| Details | The Location response header is returned when you initiate
a resumable upload. |
Range
A request header indicating the range of bytes that you want returned, and a response header indicating the range of bytes that have been uploaded to the Cloud Storage system.
| Valid Values | A single, contiguous range of bytes. |
| Examples | Range: bytes=0-1999 (first 2000 bytes)Range: bytes=-2000 (last 2000 bytes)Range: bytes=2000- (from byte 2000 to end of file) |
| Details |
When included as a header in a request for object data, only the
specified range of bytes for the object gets returned in the response
body, which is useful when downloading an object in parallel requests or
when resuming an interrupted download. A valid and successful request
results in a
206 Partial
Content response code. Multiple byte ranges in a single request are
not accepted, and in certain
circumstances the When returned as part of a response associated with a resumable upload,
Byte ranges are inclusive. For example, |
Transfer-Encoding
A request and response header that specifies if transfer-encoding had been applied to the message body.
| Valid Values | chunked |
| Example | Transfer-Encoding: chunked |
| Details | This header specifies if the message body of a request or response
has been chunked. If it is, content is received or served in a series of
chunks, with the final chunk having a length of zero. If you specify
In an upload request that uses For more details about Transfer-Encodings, see the specification. For more details about chunked transfer encoding, see the specification. |
Extension (custom) HTTP headers

| Details | This request header can be used with
x-goog-copy-source to specify the generation of
the object to copy from. It's not valid without the
x-goog-copy-source header. If no such generation
of the source object exists, Cloud Storage returns a
404 Not Found status
code.
If the source and destination objects are the same (including the generation), the copy is treated as an update of the metadata. For details on controlling the update/replace behavior, see x-goog-metadata-directive. |
x-goog-copy-source-if-generation-match
A request header that specifies the corresponding copy request will only be
executed if the source object x-goog-generation matches
the specified value. This header is only valid when used with
x-goog-copy-source.
| Valid Values | Any positive number (64 bit value) |
| Example | x-goog-copy-source-if-generation-match: 1360044097835000 |

| Valid Values | A date and time represented in conventional HTTP format. |
| Example | x-goog-expiration: Tue, 25 June 2013 00:00:00 GMT |
| Details | This response header is only returned for objects in a bucket with lifecycle management enabled if certain conditions are met. For more information, see object lifecycle behavior. |
x-goog-generation
A response header that indicates which version of the object data you are accessing.
| Valid Values | Any positive number (64 bit value) |
| Example | x-goog-generation: 1360044097835000 |
| Details | Whenever an object is created or replaced, Cloud Storage
automatically assigns a generation to it. The generation changes whenever
object data is replaced. However, there is no defined relationship
between the generations on different objects.
For more information, see generation and metageneration numbers. |
x-goog-if-generation-match
A request header that specifies the corresponding request is only allowed if the
x-goog-generation of the object matches the value of this header.
| Valid Values | Zero or any positive number (64 bit value) |
| Example | x-goog-if-generation-match: 1360044097835000 |
| Details | If the object generation matches the
x-goog-if-generation-match header, the request will be
completed successfully and Cloud Storage returns a
HTTP 200 OK status. If the generation does not match,
Cloud Storage returns a HTTP 412 Precondition Failed
error code.
If you set the For more information, see Request preconditions. |
x-goog-if-metageneration-match
A request header that specifies the corresponding request is only allowed if the
x-goog-metageneration of the object or bucket matches the value of this
header.
| Valid Values | Any positive number (64 bit value) |
| Example | x-goog-if-metageneration-match: 4 |
| Details | If the metageneration of the requested resource matches the
x-goog-if-metageneration-match header, the request proceeds
as it normally would. If the metageneration does not match,
Cloud Storage returns a HTTP 412 Precondition Failed
error code.
For object requests, this header should only be used in conjunction with x-goog-if-generation-match to ensure updates to metadata are in fact performed against the generation of the object you are planning to update and hence allows you to perform read-modify-write operations safely. For more information, see Request preconditions. |
x-goog-interop-list-objects-format
A request header that enables an interoperability fix to the GET bucket response.
| Valid Values | enabled | disabled. |

|||||||||||||||
| Details | Only use with the If you specify If you specify
|
x-goog-metadata-directive
A request header that specifies metadata handling during a copy operation.
Note that object ACLs, when present, are never copied. If applicable, the new
object receives ACLs specified in the x-goog-acl request header or
the default object ACLs set for the bucket that contains the new object.
| Valid Values | COPY | REPLACE |
| Example | x-goog-metadata-directive: REPLACE |
| Details | Only used with the If you specify If you specify When copying an object such it rewrites the source object, you must
include |
x-goog-metageneration
A response header that indicates which version of the object metadata you are accessing.
| Valid Values | Any positive number (64 bit value) |
| Example | x-goog-metageneration: 1 |
| Details | Whenever an object is created or replaced, Cloud Storage
automatically assigns a metageneration of 1. The metageneration increases
whenever object metadata is updated (ACL update, or other metadata
updates). This means that a larger metageneration always implies a newer
version of the object metadata. However, there is no defined relationship
between different generations on different objects, nor even different
generations of the same object. Each generation of the object has its own
metageneration version that only pertains to its generation.
For more information, see generation and metageneration numbers. |
x-goog-hash
A request and response header for expressing an object's MD5 and/or CRC32C base64-encoded checksums. As a request header for upload requests, the supplied hashes are validated against the values calculated by Cloud Storage.
| Valid Values | Either md5=BASE64_ENCODED_MD5 or
crc32c=BASE64_ENCODED_CRC32C. Specify CRC32c
values in big-endian byte order. Also, note that
HTTP considers comma
separated header values as equivalent to separate headers with
identical keys. |
| Examples | x-goog-hash: crc32c=n03x6A==x-goog-hash: md5=Ojk9c3dhfxgoKVVHYwFbHQ==x-goog-hash: crc32c=n03x6A==,md5=Ojk9c3dhfxgoKVVHYwFbHQ== |
| Details | Cloud Storage stores MD5 hashes for all non-composite objects. CRC32Cs are available for all objects. |

| Valid Values | Any valid upload ID. |
| Example | /?upload_id=tvA0ExBntDaOKdxL46u1NkHxNb...B2Uowrot |
| Details | An upload ID expires after one week. We recommend that you start a
resumable upload as soon as you obtain the upload ID, and that you resume
an interrupted upload shortly after the interruption occurred.
If you use an expired upload ID in a request, you will receive a 404 Not Found status code. In this case, you will have to re-initiate the resumable upload, obtain a new upload ID, and start the upload from the beginning using the new upload ID. The upload ID is bound to the location it was created, so if you create in one location and use it in another location, your performance will suffer. The upload ID is a Bearer token, meaning possession of this token acts as an authenticator. Thus, you should be careful not to leak upload IDs. |
