GetBlob

GetBlob is a REST API endpoint used in Amazon S3, a service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) for object storage in the cloud. The GetBlob endpoint is used to retrieve the contents of an object from an S3 bucket.

The GetBlob endpoint is typically invoked by specifying the bucket name and the object key (also known as the file path) in the request URI. The object key is the unique identifier for the object within the bucket, and it is usually in the format of a URL path. For example, if the S3 bucket name is "mybucket" and the object key is "images/photo.jpg", the request URI would be something like "https://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/images/photo.jpg".

When the GetBlob endpoint is invoked, S3 returns the contents of the object in a binary format. The response body contains the object data, and the response headers provide information about the object, such as its size, metadata, and content type.

The GetBlob endpoint supports a range of optional parameters that allow for customization of the response, including the ability to retrieve a specific range of bytes from the object, to retrieve multiple parts of an object, and to apply different filters to the response.

The GetBlob endpoint is commonly used in scenarios where large files need to be retrieved from S3 for processing or rendering, and it also provides a convenient way for clients to access S3 objects directly without the need to download the entire object first.

The GetBlob endpoint is an essential part of the S3 API, allowing developers to integrate AWS S3 into their applications and leverage its scalable and secure object storage features.
