title: Akamai Cloud Object Storage
description: Akamai Cloud Object Storage (formerly Linode) via the S3-compatible API. Endpoint derived from the region/cluster code.
---

## Installation

`@aws-sdk/client-s3`, `@aws-sdk/s3-presigned-post`, and `@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner` are optional peer dependencies of `files-sdk` - install alongside the SDK so the adapter's imports resolve at runtime.

```package-install
files-sdk @aws-sdk/client-s3 @aws-sdk/s3-presigned-post @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner
```

## Usage

```ts lineNumbers
import { Files } from "files-sdk";
import { akamai } from "files-sdk/akamai";

const files = new Files({
  adapter: akamai({
    bucket: "uploads",
    region: "us-iad-1", // or "nl-ams-1", "fr-par-1", "us-east-1", ...
    // accessKeyId / secretAccessKey auto-loaded from
    // AKAMAI_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AKAMAI_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  }),
});
```

Akamai Cloud Object Storage (formerly Linode Object Storage) via its S3-compatible API. A thin wrapper around the S3 adapter - endpoint derived from the region/cluster code (`us-iad-1`, `nl-ams-1`, `fr-par-1`, ...), virtual-hosted-style addressing, errors relabelled. The endpoint domain `linodeobjects.com` is unchanged from the Linode era - only the product branding moved to Akamai. Auto-loads from `AKAMAI_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AKAMAI_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`. Generate access keys in the Akamai Cloud Manager under Object Storage -> Access Keys.

| Method | Status | Notes |
| --- | :-: | --- |
| `upload` | ✅ |  |
| `download` | ✅ |  |
| `delete` | ✅ |  |
| `list` | ⚠️ | The S3 list API returns no per-object `Content-Type`, so `type` is inferred from the key's extension (`application/octet-stream` when unknown). Use `head()` for the stored value. |
| `search` | ✅ |  |
| `head` | ✅ |  |
| `exists` | ✅ |  |
| `copy` | ✅ |  |
| `url` | ✅ |  |
