Call the GetBucketV2 operation to list buckets - Object Storage Service

Lists objects in a bucket.

Usage notes

To list all objects in a bucket, you must have the oss:ListObjects permission.
The ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) operation does not return user metadata of objects.
If logging or real-time log query is enabled for the bucket on which you call the ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) operation, the value of the operation field in the access log for the call is GetBucket.
You are charged API operation calling fees for PUT requests when you call the ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) operation. For more information, see PUT requests.
By default, the maximum number of objects that can be listed for each request is 100. Configuration of the NextContinuationToken and continuationToken parameters are required if you want to list all objects.

Request syntax

GET /?list-type=2 HTTP/1.1
Host: BucketName.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com
Date: GMT Date
Authorization: SignatureValue

Request parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Example	Description
list-type	Numeric	Yes	2	The version of the ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) operation. Set the value to 2.
delimiter	String	No	/	The character that you want to use to group objects by name. If you specify the delimiter parameter in the request, the response contains the CommonPrefixes parameter. The objects whose names contain the same string from the prefix to the next occurrence of the delimiter are grouped as a single result element in the CommonPrefixes parameter. By default, this parameter is left empty.
start-after	String	No	b	The name of the object from which the list operation starts. If this parameter is specified, objects whose names are alphabetically after the value of the start-after parameter are returned. The start-after parameter is used to list the returned objects by page. The value of the parameter must be less than 1,024 bytes in length. Even if the specified start-after value does not exist during a conditional query, the ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) operation starts from the object whose name is alphabetically after the start-after value. By default, this parameter is left empty.
continuation-token	String	No	test1.txt	The token from which the ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) operation starts. You can obtain the token from the NextContinuationToken parameter in the response to the ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) operation.
max-keys	String	No	100	The maximum number of objects that can be returned. Valid values: 1 to 1000 Default value: 100 Note If the number of objects exceeds the value of the max-keys parameter, the response includes the `NextContinuationToken` parameter as the continuation token for the next list operation. The number of returned objects may be less than the value of max-keys. In this case, if not all the objects are listed, you need to use the value of the `NextContinuationToken` response parameter as the continuation token for the next list operation.
prefix	String	No	a	The prefix that the names of the returned objects must contain. If prefix is set to a directory name in the request, the objects whose names contain this prefix are listed, including all objects and subdirectories in the directory. If prefix is specified and delimiter is set to a forward slash (/), only objects in the directory are listed. The names of the subdirectories in the directory are returned in the CommonPrefixes parameter. However, objects and directories in the subdirectories are not listed. For example, a bucket contains the following objects: fun/test.jpg, fun/movie/001.avi, and fun/movie/007.avi. If prefix is set to fun/, the three objects are returned. If prefix is set to fun/ and delimiter is set to a forward slash (/), fun/test.jpg and fun/movie/ are returned. Note The value of prefix must be less than 1,024 bytes in length. The value of the prefix parameter cannot start with a forward slash (/). If you leave the prefix parameter empty, all objects in the bucket are listed. If you specify a prefix, the names of the returned objects contain the prefix. By default, this parameter is left empty.
encoding-type	String	No	url	The encoding type of the content in the response. By default, this parameter is left empty. Valid value: url. Note The delimiter, start-after, prefix, NextContinuationToken, and Key values are encoded in UTF-8. If the delimiter, start-after, prefix, NextContinuationToken, or Key value contains control characters that are not supported by the XML 1.0 standard, you can specify encoding-type to encode the value in the response.
fetch-owner	Boolean	No	false	Specifies whether to include information about the object owner in the response. Valid values: true and false true: The response includes the object owner information. false: The response does not include the object owner information. Default value: false

Response parameters

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
Contents	Container	N/A	The container that stores the metadata of each returned object. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
CommonPrefixes	String	N/A	If the delimiter parameter is specified in the request, the response contains the CommonPrefixes parameter. The objects whose names contain the same string from the prefix to the next occurrence of the delimiter are grouped as a single result element in the CommonPrefixes parameter. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult Child nodes: Prefix
Delimiter	String	/	The character that is used to group objects by name. The objects whose names contain the same string from the prefix to the next occurrence of the delimiter are grouped as a single result element in the CommonPrefixes parameter. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
EncodingType	String	N/A	The encoding type of the content in the response. If you specify encoding-type in the request, the values of Delimiter, StartAfter, Prefix, NextContinuationToken, and Key are encoded in the response. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
DisplayName	String	user_example	The name of the object owner. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult, Contents, and Owner
ETag	String	5B3C1A2E053D763E1B002CC607C5A0FE1****	The entity tag (ETag). When an object is created, an ETag is created to identify the content of the object. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult.Contents For an object that is created by calling the PutObject operation, the ETag value of the object is the MD5 hash of the object content. For an object that is created by using another method, the ETag value is not the MD5 hash of the object content but a unique value calculated based on a specific rule. The ETag of an object can be used to check whether the object content is modified. We recommend that you use the MD5 hash of an object rather than the ETag value of the object to verify data integrity.
ID	String	0022012****	The ID of the bucket owner. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult, Contents, and Owner
IsTruncated	Enumerated string	false	Indicates whether the returned results are truncated. Valid values: true and false true indicates that not all results are returned this time. false indicates that all results are returned this time. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
Key	String	fun/test.jpg	The name of the object. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult.Contents
LastModified	Time	2012-02-24T08:42:32.000Z	The last modified time of the object. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult.Contents
ListBucketResult	Container	N/A	The container that stores the result of the ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) request. Child nodes: Name, Prefix, StartAfter, MaxKeys, Delimiter, IsTruncated, NextContinuationToken, and Contents Parent nodes: none
StartAfter	String	test1.txt	If the start-after parameter is specified in the request, the response contains the StartAfter parameter.
MaxKeys	String	100	The maximum number of returned objects in the response. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
Name	String	examplebucket	The name of the bucket. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
Owner	Container	N/A	The container that stores information about the bucket owner. Child nodes: DisplayName and ID Parent nodes: ListBucketResult.Contents
Prefix	String	fun/	The prefix contained in the returned object names. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
Type	String	Normal	The type of the object. Valid values: Normal, Multipart, Appendable, and Symlink. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult.Contents
Size	String	344606	The size of the returned object. Unit: bytes. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult.Contents
StorageClass	String	Standard	The storage class of the object. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult.Contents
ContinuationToken	String	test1.txt	If the continuation-token parameter is specified in the request, the response contains the ContinuationToken parameter. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
KeyCount	Numeric	6	The number of object names returned for this request. If delimiter is specified, KeyCount is the sum of the values of Key and CommonPrefixes. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
NextContinuationToken	String	CgJiYw--	The name of the object from which the next ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) operation starts. The value of the NextContinuationToken parameter is used to query subsequent results. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult
RestoreInfo	String	ongoing-request="true"	The restoration status of the object. If no RestoreObject requests are sent or the requests expire, this element is not included in the response. If a RestoreObject request is sent but the restoration is not complete, the value of the RestoreInfo element is `ongoing-request="true"`. If a RestoreObject request is sent and the restoration is complete, the value of the RestoreInfo element is in the `ongoing-request="false", expiry-date="Thu, 24 Sep 2020 12:40:33 GMT"` format, in which the `expiry-date` element indicates the time before which the restored object can be read. Parent nodes: ListBucketResult.Contents
