Object Storage Service:List buckets

Usage notes

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

• 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 Initialization.

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

Sample code

The following code provides an example on how to list all buckets that belong to the current Alibaba Cloud account:

using Aliyun.OSS;

// Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. 
var 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. 
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");

// Initialize an OSSClient instance. 
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret);

// List all buckets that belong to the current Alibaba Cloud account. 
try
    {
        var buckets = client.ListBuckets();

        Console.WriteLine("List bucket succeeded");
        foreach (var bucket in buckets)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Bucket name:{0}, Location:{1}, Owner:{2}", bucket.Name, bucket.Location, bucket.Owner);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("List bucket failed. {0}", ex.Message);
    }
