HeadObject
The HEAD
operation retrieves metadata from an object without returning the
object itself. This operation is useful if you're interested only in an object's
metadata.
Note
A HEAD
request has the same options as a GET
operation on
an object. The response is identical to the GET
response except that there
is no response body. Because of this, if the HEAD
request generates an
error, it returns a generic code, such as 400 Bad Request
, 403
Forbidden
, 404 Not Found
, 405 Method Not Allowed
,
412 Precondition Failed
, or 304 Not Modified
. It's not
possible to retrieve the exact exception of these error codes.
Request headers are limited to 8 KB in size. For more information, see Common Request Headers.
- Permissions
-
-
General purpose bucket permissions - To use
HEAD
, you must have thes3:GetObject
permission. You need the relevant read object (or version) permission for this operation. For more information, see Actions, resources, and condition keys for Amazon S3 in the Amazon S3 User Guide. For more information about the permissions to S3 API operations by S3 resource types, see Required permissions for Amazon S3 API operations in the Amazon S3 User Guide.If the object you request doesn't exist, the error that Amazon S3 returns depends on whether you also have the
s3:ListBucket
permission.-
If you have the
s3:ListBucket
permission on the bucket, Amazon S3 returns an HTTP status code404 Not Found
error. -
If you don’t have the
s3:ListBucket
permission, Amazon S3 returns an HTTP status code403 Forbidden
error.
-
-
Directory bucket permissions - To grant access to this API operation on a directory bucket, we recommend that you use the
CreateSession
API operation for session-based authorization. Specifically, you grant thes3express:CreateSession
permission to the directory bucket in a bucket policy or an IAM identity-based policy. Then, you make theCreateSession
API call on the bucket to obtain a session token. With the session token in your request header, you can make API requests to this operation. After the session token expires, you make anotherCreateSession
API call to generate a new session token for use. AWS CLI or SDKs create session and refresh the session token automatically to avoid service interruptions when a session expires. For more information about authorization, seeCreateSession
.If you enable
x-amz-checksum-mode
in the request and the object is encrypted with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS), you must also have thekms:GenerateDataKey
andkms:Decrypt
permissions in IAM identity-based policies and AWS KMS key policies for the AWS KMS key to retrieve the checksum of the object.
-
- Encryption
-
Note
Encryption request headers, like
x-amz-server-side-encryption
, should not be sent forHEAD
requests if your object uses server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys (SSE-KMS), dual-layer server-side encryption with AWS KMS keys (DSSE-KMS), or server-side encryption with Amazon S3 managed encryption keys (SSE-S3). Thex-amz-server-side-encryption
header is used when youPUT
an object to S3 and want to specify the encryption method. If you include this header in aHEAD
request for an object that uses these types of keys, you’ll get an HTTP400 Bad Request
error. It's because the encryption method can't be changed when you retrieve the object.If you encrypt an object by using server-side encryption with customer-provided encryption keys (SSE-C) when you store the object in Amazon S3, then when you retrieve the metadata from the object, you must use the following headers to provide the encryption key for the server to be able to retrieve the object's metadata. The headers are:
-
x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm
-
x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key
-
x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5
For more information about SSE-C, see Server-Side Encryption (Using Customer-Provided Encryption Keys) in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
Note
Directory bucket - For directory buckets, there are only two supported options for server-side encryption: SSE-S3 and SSE-KMS. SSE-C isn't supported. For more information, see Protecting data with server-side encryption in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
-
- Versioning
-
-
If the current version of the object is a delete marker, Amazon S3 behaves as if the object was deleted and includes
x-amz-delete-marker: true
in the response. -
If the specified version is a delete marker, the response returns a
405 Method Not Allowed
error and theLast-Modified: timestamp
response header.
Note
-
Directory buckets - Delete marker is not supported for directory buckets.
-
Directory buckets - S3 Versioning isn't enabled and supported for directory buckets. For this API operation, only the
null
value of the version ID is supported by directory buckets. You can only specifynull
to theversionId
query parameter in the request.
-
- HTTP Host header syntax
-
Directory buckets - The HTTP Host header syntax is
Bucket-name.s3express-zone-id.region-code.amazonaws.com
.Note
For directory buckets, you must make requests for this API operation to the Zonal endpoint. These endpoints support virtual-hosted-style requests in the format
https://bucket-name.s3express-zone-id.region-code.amazonaws.com/key-name
. Path-style requests are not supported. For more information about endpoints in Availability Zones, see Regional and Zonal endpoints for directory buckets in Availability Zones in the Amazon S3 User Guide. For more information about endpoints in Local Zones, see Concepts for directory buckets in Local Zones in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Valid Values:
ARCHIVE_ACCESS | DEEP_ARCHIVE_ACCESS
- x-amz-checksum-crc32
-
The base64-encoded, 32-bit CRC-32 checksum of the object. This will only be present if it was uploaded with the object. When you use an API operation on an object that was uploaded using multipart uploads, this value may not be a direct checksum value of the full object. Instead, it's a calculation based on the checksum values of each individual part. For more information about how checksums are calculated with multipart uploads, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
- x-amz-checksum-crc32c
-
The base64-encoded, 32-bit CRC-32C checksum of the object. This will only be present if it was uploaded with the object. When you use an API operation on an object that was uploaded using multipart uploads, this value may not be a direct checksum value of the full object. Instead, it's a calculation based on the checksum values of each individual part. For more information about how checksums are calculated with multipart uploads, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
- x-amz-checksum-sha1
-
The base64-encoded, 160-bit SHA-1 digest of the object. This will only be present if it was uploaded with the object. When you use the API operation on an object that was uploaded using multipart uploads, this value may not be a direct checksum value of the full object. Instead, it's a calculation based on the checksum values of each individual part. For more information about how checksums are calculated with multipart uploads, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
- x-amz-checksum-sha256
-
The base64-encoded, 256-bit SHA-256 digest of the object. This will only be present if it was uploaded with the object. When you use an API operation on an object that was uploaded using multipart uploads, this value may not be a direct checksum value of the full object. Instead, it's a calculation based on the checksum values of each individual part. For more information about how checksums are calculated with multipart uploads, see Checking object integrity in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
- x-amz-delete-marker
-
Specifies whether the object retrieved was (true) or was not (false) a Delete Marker. If false, this response header does not appear in the response.
Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
- x-amz-expiration
-
If the object expiration is configured (see
PutBucketLifecycleConfiguration
), the response includes this header. It includes theexpiry-date
andrule-id
key-value pairs providing object expiration information. The value of therule-id
is URL-encoded.Note
Object expiration information is not returned in directory buckets and this header returns the value "
NotImplemented
" in all responses for directory buckets. - x-amz-missing-meta
-
This is set to the number of metadata entries not returned in
x-amz-meta
headers. This can happen if you create metadata using an API like SOAP that supports more flexible metadata than the REST API. For example, using SOAP, you can create metadata whose values are not legal HTTP headers.Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
- x-amz-mp-parts-count
-
The count of parts this object has. This value is only returned if you specify
partNumber
in your request and the object was uploaded as a multipart upload. - x-amz-object-lock-legal-hold
-
Specifies whether a legal hold is in effect for this object. This header is only returned if the requester has the
s3:GetObjectLegalHold
permission. This header is not returned if the specified version of this object has never had a legal hold applied. For more information about S3 Object Lock, see Object Lock.Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
Valid Values:
ON | OFF
- x-amz-object-lock-mode
-
The Object Lock mode, if any, that's in effect for this object. This header is only returned if the requester has the
s3:GetObjectRetention
permission. For more information about S3 Object Lock, see Object Lock.Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
Valid Values:

s3:GetObjectRetention
permission.Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
- x-amz-replication-status
-
Amazon S3 can return this header if your request involves a bucket that is either a source or a destination in a replication rule.
In replication, you have a source bucket on which you configure replication and destination bucket or buckets where Amazon S3 stores object replicas. When you request an object (
GetObject
) or object metadata (HeadObject
) from these buckets, Amazon S3 will return thex-amz-replication-status
header in the response as follows:-
If requesting an object from the source bucket, Amazon S3 will return the
x-amz-replication-status
header if the object in your request is eligible for replication.For example, suppose that in your replication configuration, you specify object prefix
TaxDocs
requesting Amazon S3 to replicate objects with key prefixTaxDocs
. Any objects you upload with this key name prefix, for exampleTaxDocs/document1.pdf
, are eligible for replication. For any object request with this key name prefix, Amazon S3 will return thex-amz-replication-status
header with value PENDING, COMPLETED or FAILED indicating object replication status. -
If requesting an object from a destination bucket, Amazon S3 will return the
x-amz-replication-status
header with value REPLICA if the object in your request is a replica that Amazon S3 created and there is no replica modification replication in progress. -
When replicating objects to multiple destination buckets, the
x-amz-replication-status
header acts differently. The header of the source object will only return a value of COMPLETED when replication is successful to all destinations. The header will remain at value PENDING until replication has completed for all destinations. If one or more destinations fails replication the header will return FAILED.
For more information, see Replication.
Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
Valid Values:
COMPLETE | PENDING | FAILED | REPLICA | COMPLETED
-
- x-amz-request-charged
-
If present, indicates that the requester was successfully charged for the request.
Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
Valid Values:
requester
- x-amz-restore
-
If the object is an archived object (an object whose storage class is GLACIER), the response includes this header if either the archive restoration is in progress (see RestoreObject or an archive copy is already restored.
If an archive copy is already restored, the header value indicates when Amazon S3 is scheduled to delete the object copy. For example:
x-amz-restore: ongoing-request="false", expiry-date="Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT"
If the object restoration is in progress, the header returns the value
ongoing-request="true"
.For more information about archiving objects, see Transitioning Objects: General Considerations.
Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets. Only the S3 Express One Zone storage class is supported by directory buckets to store objects.
- x-amz-server-side-encryption
-
The server-side encryption algorithm used when you store this object in Amazon S3 (for example,
AES256
,aws:kms
,aws:kms:dsse
).Valid Values:
AES256 | aws:kms | aws:kms:dsse
- x-amz-server-side-encryption-aws-kms-key-id
-
If present, indicates the ID of the KMS key that was used for object encryption.
- x-amz-server-side-encryption-bucket-key-enabled
-
Indicates whether the object uses an S3 Bucket Key for server-side encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) keys (SSE-KMS).
- x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-algorithm
-
If server-side encryption with a customer-provided encryption key was requested, the response will include this header to confirm the encryption algorithm that's used.
Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
- x-amz-server-side-encryption-customer-key-MD5
-
If server-side encryption with a customer-provided encryption key was requested, the response will include this header to provide the round-trip message integrity verification of the customer-provided encryption key.
Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
- x-amz-storage-class
-
Provides storage class information of the object. Amazon S3 returns this header for all objects except for S3 Standard storage class objects.
For more information, see Storage Classes.
Note
Directory buckets - Only the S3 Express One Zone storage class is supported by directory buckets to store objects.
Valid Values:
STANDARD | REDUCED_REDUNDANCY | STANDARD_IA | ONEZONE_IA | INTELLIGENT_TIERING | GLACIER | DEEP_ARCHIVE | OUTPOSTS | GLACIER_IR | SNOW | EXPRESS_ONEZONE
- x-amz-version-id
-
Version ID of the object.
Note
This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.
- x-amz-website-redirect-location
-
