Note

S3 automatically generate access point aliases for all access points and these aliases can be used anywhere a bucket name is used to perform object-level operations. For more information, see Access point for general purpose buckets aliases.

For more information and examples, see get-object in the_AWS CLI Command Reference_.

You can use the REST API to download an object through an access point. For more information, see GetObject in the Amazon Simple Storage Service API Reference.
