    • Connector ID - Choose an ID that is brief and helps identify the connector.
    • Bucket name - The name of the S3 bucket to connect.
    • Region - The region in which the bucket is located.
    • Access key - Your AWS access key. To learn more about access keys, view the AWS docs.

S3 connector

To access the storage bucket from the client, create a reference to a Storage Client using the storage() method, passing your storage connector ID:

Client code
const topic = squid.storage('YOUR_STORAGE_CONNECTOR_ID');

With this storage instance, you can upload files, read metadata, generate download URLs, and download content. To learn more about managing files from the client, view the Squid storage documentation.
