How do I list buckets? - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

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 static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        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";

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.

        // 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();
