Remarks

Wasabi has an API that is fully compatible with that of Amazon S3, allowing you to store arbitrary data using the same bucket-and-object paradigm that S3 uses. Wasabi adds additional functionality on top of the S3 API. Whether you're doing simple bucket-and-object data manipulation, or leveraging Wasabi-exclusive API features, the Wasabi Component makes it easy to access the Wasabi service quickly and securely.

Wasabi's API additions range in scale; the simplest example is the ability to rename buckets, objects, and folders. The most notable API additions, however, are two full-blown headline features: Composition and Compliance. Composition allows you to concatenate (or, "compose") together objects which are already on the server; it's a simpler, cheaper, and more flexible alternative to S3's multi-part uploads. The Compliance system gives you the ability to define policies that dictate how long objects must be retained before they can be modified or deleted. We recommend referring to Wasabi's website for more details about these features.

To use the Wasabi Component, you will first need to sign up for the Wasabi service and obtain an AccessKey and a SecretKey. Then you can start creating buckets in your account using CreateBucket. The buckets are place holders for your objects allowing you to access them by http URLs. You can then add objects to any of your buckets using CreateObject.

The ComposeObjects and UpdateCompliance methods' documentation provide extensive usage details and examples for composition and compliance; the RenameBucket, RenameObject, and RenameFolder methods speak for themselves; and the standard bucket-and-object manipulation features are available through methods such as ListBuckets, ListObjects, GetObject, DeleteObject, GetLink, and more.
