Environment variables required to run examples

To run the cURL command examples for the Object Storage API requests, set these environment variables:

  • publicURL. The public URL that is the HTTP endpoint from where you can access Object Storage. It includes the Object Storage API version number and your account name. For example, https://23.253.72.207/v1/my_account.

To obtain these values, run the swift stat -v command.
