listObjects method
Returns a list of bucket objects.
It does not return object contents. To get them, use the get method.
Pagination is used for output. You can get a list of up to 1,000 objects per request. If there are more objects, make multiple consecutive requests.
Note
This method has two versions:
listObjectsV2
: Current version, which is easier to use.listObjectsV1
: Previous version.
The same URL
, with different query parameters, is used to call both methods. To call listObjectsV2
, use the list-type=2
parameter.
For more information on getting started with the API and the general request format, see How to use the S3 API.
listObjectsV2
Request
GET /{bucket}?list-type=2&continuation-token=ContinuationToken&delimiter=Delimiter&encoding-type=EncodingType&max-keys=MaxKeys&prefix=Prefix&start-after=StartAfter HTTP/2
Path parameters
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
bucket |
Bucket name. |
Query parameters
All parameters listed in the table are optional.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
continuation-token |
Used to get the next part of the list if all results do not fit in a single response. To get the next part of the list, use the NextContinuationToken value from the previous response. |
delimiter |
Delimiter character. If this parameter is specified, Object Storage interprets the key as the path to the file with folders separated by the delimiter character. In response to the request, the user gets a list of files and folders in the bucket. Files will be output in the Contents elements, and folders, in the CommonPrefixes elements.If the request also specifies the prefix parameter, Object Storage will return the list of files and folders in the folder named prefix . |
encoding-type |
Encoding of server response. Object Storage can encode responses in the format requested by the client. Possible values: url . |
max-keys |
Maximum number of elements in a response. By default, Object Storage outputs no more than 1,000 Contents and CommonPrefixes elements. Use this parameter if you need less than 1,000 elements in a single response.If the selection criteria are met by more keys than can fit into the output, the response contains <IsTruncated>true</IsTruncated> .To get all output elements if their number exceeds max-keys , run multiple requests to Object Storage with the continuation-token parameter, where the continuation-token of each request is equal to the value of the NextContinuationToken element in the previous response. |
prefix |
String to start the key from. Object Storage selects only those keys which start with prefix .You can use this parameter along with delimiter . In this case, the output logic is determined by the delimiter parameter. |
start-after |
Key to start the listing from. |
Headers
Use only common request headers in your requests.
