Welcome to Using the HCP HS3 API

Using the HCP HS3 API is your guide to using the Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) HS3 API. HS3 is a RESTful, HTTP-based API that is compatible with Amazon® S3. Using HS3, you can create, manage and delete buckets and objects in HCP.

This Help introduces the HCP concepts you need to understand in order to use HS3 effectively. It contains instructions and examples for each of the bucket and object operations you can perform with HS3. It also includes a quick reference for these operations and a sample Java® application that uses HS3 to perform a few operations.

Note: Throughout this Help system, the word Unix is used to represent all UNIX®-like operating systems (such as UNIX itself or Linux®), except where Linux is specifically required.

Intended audience

This Help is intended for people want to learn how to use the HS3 API to work with bucket and objects in HCP. The Help addresses two audiences:

People who are writing applications against HCP. These people are assumed to have programming experience.

People who are accessing HCP through a third-party, S3-compatible tool (such as curl). These people are assumed to have experience using the applicable tool.

In either case, the Help assumes you have a basic knowledge of HTTP, as specified by RFC 2616.

This Help does not assume any prior knowledge of HCP concepts or functionality.
