I am hoping to access the Amazon S3 API to determine how much data

  • 0

I am hoping to access the Amazon S3 API to determine how much data has been transferred on a single S3 Object. Is this possible?

I have looked through the documentation yet can not find anything.

    This is not possible via the API as such, however, you should be able to calculate this yourself by facilitating Server Access Logging:

    […] An Amazon S3 bucket can be configured to create access log
    records for the requests made against it. An access log record
    contains details about the request such as the request type, the
    resource with which the request worked, and the time and date that the
    request was processed. […]

    This is can be configured via the AWS Management Console as well, see Managing Bucket Logging for details.

    Any decent analytics package should be able to provide respective aggregates for the generated Server Access Log Format, ideally including the transferred data already – otherwise you would need to do the math yourself from the number of requests (still inconvenient, but likely automatable one way or another).

    Good luck!
