Downloading Objects in Requester Pays Buckets

Downloading Objects in Requester Pays Buckets

Because requesters are charged for downloading data from Requester Pays buckets, the requests must contain a special parameter, x-amz-request-payer, which demonstrates the requester knows he or she will be charged for the download. To access objects in Requester Pays buckets, requests must include one of the following.

For GET and POST requests, include x-amz-request-payer : requester in the header
For signed URLs, include x-amz-request-payer=requester in the request

If the request succeeds and the requester is charged, the response includes the header x-amz-request-charged:requester. If x-amz-request-payer is not in the request, Amazon S3 returns a 403 error and charges the bucket owner for the request.

Note

	Note
Bucket owners do not need to add `x-amz-request-payer` to their requests. Make sure to include `x-amz-request-payer` and its value in your signature calculation. For more information, see Constructing the CanonicalizedAmzHeaders Element.
