## Swift API {#swift-api}

1. Obtain the `Auth Token` by accessing CubeCOS cluster VIP via SSH. Use command `swift -v stat <container_name>`

```bash
[cc1 ~]# swift -v stat demo-container
   URL: http://172.16.0.10:8888/swift/v1/c0978a86e3b242da9ba549acf5178266/demo-container

2. Verify Swift API access with postman, add header : \{ key = "X-Auth-Token", value = "Auth Token" from above \} with GET action.

   _URL shown at step 1 is bucket URL. Fetching it will get its file tree. Add folder and file structure to get specific file._
