How to get response from S3 getObject in Node.js?

Question

In a Node.js project I am attempting to get data back from S3.

When I use getSignedURL, everything works:

aws.getSignedUrl(\'getObject

At first glance it doesn't look like you are doing anything wrong but you don't show all your code. The following worked for me when I was first checking out S3 and Node:

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');

if (typeof process.env.API_KEY == 'undefined') {
    var config = require('./config.json');
    for (var key in config) {
        if (config.hasOwnProperty(key)) process.env[key] = config[key];
    }
}

var s3 = new AWS.S3({accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ID, secretAccessKey:process.env.AWS_KEY});
var objectPath = process.env.AWS_S3_FOLDER +'/test.xml';
s3.putObject({
    Bucket: process.env.AWS_S3_BUCKET, 
    Key: objectPath,
    Body: "hello Fred",
    ACL:'public-read'
}, function(err, data){
    if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
    else {
        console.log(data);           // successful response
        s3.getObject({
            Bucket: process.env.AWS_S3_BUCKET, 
            Key: objectPath
        }, function(err, data){
            console.log(data.Body.toString());
        });
    }
});
