Have a few small files on Amazon-S3 and wondering if it’s possible to get 3-4 of them in a single request.
Looked around docs and few SDK’s and didn’t find anything obvious. I saw they now have “multi-delete”, which is nice, but multi get would be great
Anyone know of something like this is possible?
Thanks
If you take a look to the lowest level documentation (REST API, for example), the GET operation on objects brings you only one object per request, so whatever you find out in any of AWS SDKs will be a loop over this kind of request.
There are some tools that make it easier to download more than one object. For example, in command-line tools:
s3cmd get object1 object2 object3 s3://bucket-nameThis call will make sequential requests, meaning the total time won’t be reduced, but it indeed makes your task easier to accomplish.
If you prefer doing it in a programmatic way, I suggest using whichever SDK that makes more sense for your platform, and, if it does not contain a batch GET object operation yet, implement your own version according to your own preferences.
