b2_copy_part

Copies from an existing B2 file, storing it as a part of a large file which has already been started (with b2_start_large_file).

When calling b2_copy_part, by default the entire source file will be copied to the destination. If you wish, you may supply a range param to only copy a portion of the source file over.

Request

The upload request is a POST.

Request HTTP Headers

Authorization

required

An account authorization token, obtained from b2_authorize_account. The token must have the writeFiles capability and the readFiles capability if the bucket is private.

Request HTTP Message Body Parameters

sourceFileId

required

The ID of the source file being copied.

largeFileId

required

The ID of the large file the part will belong to, as returned by b2_start_large_file.

partNumber

required

A number from 1 to 10000. The parts uploaded for one file must have contiguous numbers, starting with 1.

range

optional

The range of bytes to copy. If not provided, the whole source file will be copied.

sourceServerSideEncryption

optional

If present, specifies the parameters for Backblaze B2 to use for accessing the source file data using Server-Side Encryption. This parameter must be provided only if the source file has been encrypted using Server-Side Encryption with Customer-Managed Keys (SSE-C), and the provided encryption key must match the one with which the source file was encrypted. See. See Server-Side Encryption for details.

destinationServerSideEncryption

optional

If present, specifies the parameters for Backblaze B2 to use for encrypting the copied data before storing the destination file using Server-Side Encryption. This parameter must be provided only if the large file was started with Server-Side Encryption with Customer-Managed Keys (SSE-C), and the provided encryption key must match the one with which the large file was started. See Server-Side Encryption for details.

Response

Response HTTP Status 200

File successfully copied. The JSON response will contain the standard part information. For copied files, the action is always "copy".

fileId

The file ID for uploading this file.

partNumber

Which part this is.

contentLength

The number of bytes stored in the part.

contentSha1

The SHA1 of the bytes stored in the part.

contentMd5

optional

The MD5 of the bytes stored in the part. Not all parts have an MD5 checksum, so this field is optional, and set to null for parts that do not have one.

serverSideEncryption

optional

When the part is encrypted with Server-Side Encryption, the mode ("SSE-B2" or "SSE-C") and algorithm used to encrypt the data.

uploadTimestamp

This is a UTC time when this part was uploaded. It is a base 10 number of milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. This fits in a 64 bit integer such as the type "long" in the programming language Java. It is intended to be compatible with Java's time long. For example, it can be passed directly into the java call Date.setTime(long time).

Response Errors

File not copied. If possible the server will return a JSON error structure. Errors include:

status

code

description

400

bad_bucket_id

The requested bucket ID does not match an existing bucket.

400

bad_request

The request had the wrong fields or illegal values. The message returned with the error will describe the problem.

400

cannot_delete_non_empty_bucket

A bucket must be empty before it can be deleted. To delete this bucket, first remove all of the files in the bucket, then try the delete operation again.

400

source_too_large

The source file being copied is too large.

401

bad_auth_token

The auth token used is not valid. Call b2_authorize_account again to either get a new one, or an error message describing the problem.

401

expired_auth_token

The auth token used has expired. Call b2_authorize_account again to get a new one.

401

unauthorized

The auth token used is valid, but does not authorize this call with these parameters. The capabilities of an auth token are determined by the application key used with b2_authorize_account.

403

access_denied

The provided customer-managed encryption key is wrong.

403

transaction_cap_exceeded

Transaction cap exceeded. To increase your cap, sign in to your B2 Cloud Storage account online. Then select the Caps & Alerts link in the B2 Cloud Storage section of the sidebar.

404

not_found

File is not in B2 Cloud Storage.

405

method_not_allowed

Only POST is supported

408

request_timeout

The service timed out reading the uploaded file

416

range_not_satisfiable

The Range header in the request is valid but cannot be satisfied for the file.
