Retrieving the requestPayment configuration using the REST API

You can determine the Payer value that is set on a bucket by requesting the resource requestPayment.

To return the requestPayment resource

  • Use a GET request to obtain the requestPayment resource, as shown in the following request.

    GET ?requestPayment HTTP/1.1
Host: [BucketName].s3.amazonaws.com
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GMT
Authorization: AWS [Signature]

If the request succeeds, Amazon S3 returns a response similar to the following.

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
x-amz-id-2: [id]
x-amz-request-id: [request_id]
Date: Wed, 01 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GMT

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RequestPaymentConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
<Payer>Requester</Payer>
</RequestPaymentConfiguration>

This response shows that the payer value is set to Requester.
