Skimming the docs pages it looks like Scaleway just lifted the request/response examples from the DO API.

Everything around those appears to be "original" - as much as that is possible for a standardized API.

Whoever wrote those docs probably just looked up a reference for the S3 API, and DO's particular implementation happened to be the first result.

There is nothing much wrong with this in my opinion.

The respective docs:

https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/spaces/#ob...

Imagine if something doesn't work and you followed exactly the documentation... at first I wouldn't think that there is something wrong with the docs but that I did something wrong on my implementation, that could lead to a lot of wasted time just because the company didn't write his own documentation.

I like scaleway very much. Never had to complain.

Honestly I was just trying their service because I'm excited about a company offering Cloud Service that is based in Europe, this is just one thing I don't like about them, that's it.
