raps object upload <bucket-key> <file-path> [options]
Options:
--key, -k: Custom object key (defaults to filename)--batch: Upload multiple files--parallel: Enable parallel uploads--concurrency: Number of concurrent uploads (default: 5)
Single file upload:
$ raps object upload my-bucket model.rvt

Custom object key:
raps object upload my-bucket model.rvt --key "projects/2024/building-a.rvt"
### Upload Performance (v3.7.0+)
RAPS v3.7.0 introduces major performance improvements for file uploads:
- **🚀 Parallel Multipart Uploads**: 3-10x faster for large files (>5MB)
- **💾 Streaming Uploads**: Reduced memory usage, no file size limits
- **🔄 Automatic Retry**: Consistent retry logic across all upload operations
- **📊 Smart Concurrency**: Optimized parallel processing with bounded concurrency
**Performance comparison for 500MB file:**
- **v3.6.x**: ~15 minutes (serial uploads)
- **v3.7.0+**: ~2-3 minutes (parallel uploads)
**Large file best practices:**
```bash
# Large file uploads automatically use parallel multipart
raps object upload my-bucket large-model.rvt
# ✓ Automatically splits into 5MB chunks
# ✓ Uploads 5 chunks concurrently
# ✓ Handles retry on chunk failure
# ✓ Resumes on network interruption
raps object download
Download objects from a bucket.
raps object download <bucket-key> <object-key> [--output PATH]
$ raps object download my-bucket model.rvt --output ./downloads/

raps object list
List all objects in a bucket.
$ raps object list my-bucket
Objects in 'my-bucket':

With prefix filter:
raps object list my-bucket --prefix "projects/2024/"
raps object signed-url
Generate a pre-signed S3 URL for direct download.
raps object signed-url <bucket-key> <object-key> [--minutes MINUTES]
$ raps object signed-url my-bucket model.rvt --minutes 60
Signed URL (expires in 60 minutes):
https://developer.api.autodesk.com/oss/v2/signedresources/...
Use cases:
- Share temporary download links
- Integrate with external systems
- Enable direct client downloads
raps object urn
Get the Base64-encoded URN for an object (required for translation).
$ raps object urn my-bucket model.rvt
URN: dXJuOmFkc2sub2JqZWN0czpvcy5vYmplY3Q6bXktYnVja2V0L21vZGVsLnJ2dA
Save to variable:
URN=$(raps object urn my-bucket model.rvt --output plain)
raps translate start "$URN" --format svf2
raps object delete
Delete an object from a bucket.
$ raps object delete my-bucket model.rvt
⚠ Warning: This will permanently delete 'model.rvt'
Are you sure? (y/N): y
✓ Object deleted successfully
Large File Uploads
For files over 100 MB, RAPS🌼RAPSRust CLI for Autodesk Platform Services.View in glossary automatically uses resumable multipart uploads:
$ raps object upload my-bucket large-model.ifc
Uploading large-model.ifc (2.1 GB)...

✓ Upload complete!
Benefits:
- Resume interrupted uploads
- Better performance for large files
- Automatic retry on failures
CI/CD Examples
Upload and get URN
raps object upload my-bucket model.rvt
URN=$(raps object urn my-bucket model.rvt --output plain)
echo "Uploaded with URN: $URN"
Batch upload entire directory
find ./models -name "*.dwg" | xargs -I {} raps object upload my-bucket {}
