MinIO Client SDK for .NET Slack

MinIO Client SDK provides higher level APIs for MinIO and Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage services.For a complete list of APIs and examples, please take a look at the Dotnet Client API Reference.This document assumes that you have a working VisualStudio development environment.

Install from NuGet

To install MinIO .NET package, run the following command in Nuget Package Manager Console.

PM> Install-Package Minio

MinIO Client Example

To connect to an Amazon S3 compatible cloud storage service, you need the following information

Variable name Description
endpoint <Domain-name> or <ip:port> of your object storage
accessKey User ID that uniquely identifies your account
secretKey Password to your account
secure boolean value to enable/disable HTTPS support (default=true)

The following examples uses a freely hosted public MinIO service "play.min.io" for development purposes.

using Minio;

var endpoint = "play.min.io";
var accessKey = "Q3AM3UQ867trueSPQQA43P2F";
var secretKey = "zuf+tfteSlswRu7BJ86wtrueekitnifILbZam1KYY3TG";
var secure = true;
// Initialize the client with access credentials.
private static MinioClient minio = new MinioClient()
                                    .WithEndpoint(endpoint)
                                    .WithCredentials(accessKey, secretKey)
                                    .WithSSL(secure)
                                    .Build();

// Create an async task for listing buckets.
var getListBucketsTask = await minio.ListBucketsAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);

// Iterate over the list of buckets.
foreach (var bucket in getListBucketsTask.Result.Buckets)
{
    Console.WriteLine(bucket.Name + " " + bucket.CreationDateDateTime);
}

Complete File Uploader Example

This example program connects to an object storage server, creates a bucket and uploads a file to the bucket. To run the following example, click on [Link] and start the project

using System;
using Minio;
using Minio.Exceptions;
using Minio.DataModel;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace FileUploader
{
    class FileUpload
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)

            var endpoint  = "play.min.io";
            var accessKey = "Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F";
            var secretKey = "zuf+tfteSlswRu7BJ86wekitnifILbZam1KYY3TG";
            try

                var minio = new MinioClient()
                                    .WithEndpoint(endpoint)
                                    .WithCredentials(accessKey, secretKey)

            catch (MinioException e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("File Upload Error: {0}", e.Message);
            }
