Creating a Bucket With Postman 

These steps install Postman and set up your first bucket. 

  1. Download and install Postman on your PC from https://www.postman.com/downloads/   
  2. Open Postman.
  3. Reset your Access Key and Secret Key with Postman. To do so, list the keys that were sent to you from Wasabi in a "Welcome" email, create new keys, and delete (for security) the "Welcome" email keys, as described below.

    List the access keys sent to you in the Wasabi "Welcome" email:


    Create new keys using the keys Wasabi recently sent to you:


    Delete the original "Welcome" email access keys:

  4. Create your first Postman collection (to group your requests).  
  5. Add a new request and assign a name (for example, Create Bucket).
  6. Configure the following.

    Method: PUT
    URL: https://s3.us-east-1-dell-obs.wasabisys.com:9021/{{bucketname}}
    Bucket Name: Enter the desired bucket name replacing {{bucketname}} in the URL path.
    Be sure to click Save.

  7. On the Authorization tab, configure:

    Auth Type: AWS Signature
    Add auth data to: Request Headers
    AccessKey and SecretKey: Use the IAM access credentials that you created in Step 3 above.
    Be sure to click Save.

  8. Click Send to submit the request to create your bucket. You will receive a 200 response, indicating the bucket was created successfully.

  9. To validate, create a new request to get the bucket details:

    Method: GET
    URL: https://s3.us-east-1-dell-obs.wasabisys.com:9021/{{bucketname}}
    Be sure to click Save.
