List Buckets
Retrieves a list of buckets for a given project.

Create Bucket

Delete Bucket
Permanently deletes an empty bucket. The path parameter is the name of the bucket to delete. In this example, we are deleting the bucket "chilkat-test-bucket". Success is indicated by a 204 response status code with an empty response body.

List Objects in a Bucket
Retrieves a list of objects in the Google Cloud Storage bucket. The name of the bucket is specified in the URL's path. This example retrieves a listing of the objects in the "chilkat-test" bucket.

Delete a File (i.e. Object)
Deletes a fie (also known as an object) from a Google Cloud Storage bucket. The name of the bucket is specified in the URL's path. This example deletes the "starfish.jpg" object from the "chilkat-test" bucket. A successful DELETE is indicated by a 204 response status code with an empty response body.

Copy File (Object) to another Bucket
Copies a fie (also known as an object) to another Google Cloud Storage bucket. This example copies the file "starfish.jpg" from the "chilkat-test" bucket to the "chilkat-images" bucket. In Google Cloud Storage, moving a file to a new bucket is a 2-step operation: First copy the file, then delete the original.
