List buckets

A bucket is a container for objects stored in Object Storage Service (OSS). All objects in OSS are contained in buckets. Buckets are listed in alphabetical order. You can list buckets that belong to the current Alibaba Cloud account in all regions and meet specific conditions.

Usage notes

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions, endpoints and open ports.

  • In this topic, access credentials are obtained from environment variables. For more information about how to configure access credentials, see Configure access credentials.

  • In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

  • To list buckets, you must have the oss:ListBuckets permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

  • To list Infrequent Access (IA) and Archive buckets, use OSS SDK for Java 2.6.0 or later.

  • You can run the following sample code to list buckets only in all regions within the current Alibaba Cloud account. You cannot run the following sample code to list buckets in a specific region. The list result is independent of the specified endpoint of the region.

List all buckets within an Alibaba Cloud account

The following sample code provides an example on how to list buckets in all regions within the current Alibaba Cloud account: 

import com.aliyun.oss.ClientException;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSS;
import com.aliyun.oss.common.auth.*;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSClientBuilder;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSException;
import com.aliyun.oss.model.Bucket;

import java.util.List;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
        String endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
        // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.
        String region = "cn-hangzhou";
        
        // Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
        EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = CredentialsProviderFactory.newEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();

        // Create an OSSClient instance. 
        ClientBuilderConfiguration clientBuilderConfiguration = new ClientBuilderConfiguration();
        clientBuilderConfiguration.setSignatureVersion(SignVersion.V4);        
        OSS ossClient = OSSClientBuilder.create()
        .endpoint(endpoint)
        .credentialsProvider(credentialsProvider)
        .clientConfiguration(clientBuilderConfiguration)
        .region(region)               
        .build();

        try {
            // List all buckets in all regions within the current Alibaba Cloud account. 
            List<Bucket> buckets = ossClient.listBuckets();
            for (Bucket bucket : buckets) {
                System.out.println(" - " + bucket.getName());
            }
        } catch (OSSException oe) {
            System.out.println("Caught an OSSException, which means your request made it to OSS, "
                    + "but was rejected with an error response for some reason.");

        } catch (ClientException ce) {
            System.out.println("Caught an ClientException, which means the client encountered "
                    + "a serious internal problem while trying to communicate with OSS, "
                    + "such as not being able to access the network.");
            System.out.println("Error Message:" + ce.getMessage());

                ossClient.shutdown();
            }
        }
    }
}

List buckets in a resource group

The following sample code provides an example on how to list buckets in a resource group within the current Alibaba Cloud account.

Note

An Alibaba Cloud account contains one default resource group and multiple custom resource groups. If you do not specify a resource group ID when you create a bucket, the bucket belongs to the default resource group. 

import com.aliyun.oss.ClientException;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSS;
import com.aliyun.oss.common.auth.*;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSClientBuilder;
import com.aliyun.oss.OSSException;
import com.aliyun.oss.model.*;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
        String endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
        // Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
        EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = CredentialsProviderFactory.newEnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
        // Specify the ID of the resource group. If you do not specify a resource group ID, the buckets in the default resource group are listed. 
        String rsId = "rg-aek27tc****";
        // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.
        String region = "cn-hangzhou";
        
        // Create an OSSClient instance. 
        ClientBuilderConfiguration clientBuilderConfiguration = new ClientBuilderConfiguration();
        clientBuilderConfiguration.setSignatureVersion(SignVersion.V4);

        .clientConfiguration(clientBuilderConfiguration)
        .region(region)               
        .build();

        try {
            // List the buckets. 
            ListBucketsRequest listBucketsRequest = new ListBucketsRequest();
            // List the buckets in the specified resource group within the current Alibaba Cloud account.

                    + "but was rejected with an error response for some reason.");
            System.out.println("Error Message:" + oe.getErrorMessage());
            System.out.println("Error Code:" + oe.getErrorCode());
            System.out.println("Request ID:" + oe.getRequestId());
            System.out.println("Host ID:" + oe.getHostId());

            }
        }
    }
}
