s3.aws and cloudSimplifieR libraries are out of date #118

Closed jp-loonytoon closed 1 year ago

jp-loonytoon commented 3 years ago

I've not been able to find a way of using the s3.aws library with COS successfully, and I think that this documentation page is quite out of date now. Following the examples in this article I get a 403 AccessDenied when attempting to access an object. For instance, attempting to call

bucketlist()

I get the following response:

List of 5

NULL

And the cloudSimplifieR library mentioned later on in the article has now been removed from the CRAN repository.

I have found that the paws library works well for accessing COS objects. It seems to be well maintained and its what I use now for my data science projects.

Really appreciate the feedback - it's difficult to keep up with the various third-party tools. If you have any example code for paws you'd be willing to share I'd be happy to include it in a new topic, in any case I'll check out paws and retire the current topic. Thanks!
