Accessing metadata

It can be useful to access metadata from the function. For example, you can access the bucket, input and output names or the IDs directly from the function. This way you can build more complex functions that can be used in different scenarios.

Accessing metadata

You can access the metadata from the function using the r.Metadata table.

Example function deciding based on bucket name

Here's an example accessing Bucket name from within the function:

local http = require("http")

local bucket_name = r.Metadata["bucket_name"]

if bucket_name == "first-bucket" then
  -- do something
  response, err = http.request("GET", "https://company-a.com")
  if err then error(err) end  
  -- exit from function  
  return
end


if bucket_name == "second-bucket" then
  -- do something
  response, err = http.request("GET", "https://company-b.com")
  if err then error(err) end
  -- exit from function  
  return
end
