Swift Google Cloud Storage: Delete a File (i.e. Object)

Back to Index

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.

Documentation: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/objects/delete

CURL Command

curl -X DELETE https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/chilkat-bucket/o/starfish.jpg?project=MY_CLOUD_STORAGE_PROJECT \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer CLOUD_STORAGE_TOKEN"

Swift Example

func chilkatTest() {
    let rest = CkoRest()
    var success: Bool

    //  URL: https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/chilkat-bucket/o/starfish.jpg?project=MY_CLOUD_STORAGE_PROJECT
    var bTls: Bool = true
    var port: Int = 443
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    success = rest.Connect("www.googleapis.com", port: port, tls: bTls, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)
    if success != true {
        print("ConnectFailReason: \(rest.ConnectFailReason.intValue)")
        print("\(rest.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    rest.AddHeader("Authorization", value: "Bearer CLOUD_STORAGE_TOKEN")

    let sbResponseBody = CkoStringBuilder()
    success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("DELETE", uriPath: "/storage/v1/b/chilkat-bucket/o/starfish.jpg?project=MY_CLOUD_STORAGE_PROJECT", sb: sbResponseBody)
    if success != true {
        print("\(rest.LastErrorText)")
        return
    }

    var respStatusCode: Int = rest.ResponseStatusCode.intValue
    if respStatusCode >= 400 {
        print("Response Status Code = \(respStatusCode)")
        print("Response Header:")
        print("\(rest.ResponseHeader)")
        print("Response Body:")
        print("\(sbResponseBody.GetAsString())")
        return
    }
