I want to add metadata to Minio object while adding the file as object to Minio object storage using python. I am able to find accessing metadata of object stored on Minio. but there is no example of adding metadata while adding file to Minio storage.

Regards, Ritu Ranjan

Well it there is a examples at python minio client test 

content_type='application/octet-stream'
metadata = {'x-amz-meta-testing': 'value'}
client.put_object(bucket_name,
                  object_name+'-metadata',
                  MB_11_reader,
                  MB_11,
                  content_type,
                  metadata)

The trick is that metadata dict should have keys in format 'x-amz-meta-youkey'

You can use pyminio:

from pyminio import Pyminio

pyminio_client = Pyminio.from_credentials(
    endpoint='<your-minio-endpoint>',  # e.g. "localhost:9000/"
    access_key='<your-minio-access-key>',
    secret_key='<your-minio-secret-key>'
)

metadata = {'Pyminio-is': 'Awesome'}
pyminio_client.put_file(to_path='/foo/bar/baz', file_path='/mnt/some_file', metadata=metadata)

Its automaticly strips off the'x-amz-meta-' from the name of the variables so its more easy to use with pyminio_client.get('/foo/bar/baz')

You could check out the new documentation to compose objects, that is, combine objects and include metadata. https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/developers/python/API.html#compose_object

from minio.commonconfig import ComposeSource
from minio.sse import SseS3

sources = [
    ComposeSource("my-job-bucket", "my-object")
]

# Create my-bucket/my-object with user metadata by combining
# source object list.
result = client.compose_object(
    "my-bucket",
    "my-object",
    sources,
    metadata={"test_meta_key": "test_meta_value"},
)
print(result.object_name, result.version_id)
