By default, when you list objects in an Object Storage Service (OSS) bucket, the objects are returned in lexicographical order. You can list all objects, objects whose names contain a specified prefix, or a specified number of objects in a bucket.
Procedure
Use the OSS console
Log on to the OSS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click Buckets.
On the Buckets page, find the desired bucket.
All objects in the bucket are displayed by page. By default, 50 objects are displayed per page.
Use ossbrowser
You can use ossbrowser to perform the same bucket-level operations that you can perform in the OSS console. You can follow the on-screen instructions in ossbrowser to list objects in a bucket. For more information about how to use ossbrowser, see Use ossbrowser.
Use OSS SDKs
The following sample code provides examples on how to use OSS SDKs for common programming languages to list all objects in a bucket by using simple list. For more information about how to use OSS SDKs for other programming languages to list objects based on your requirements, see Overview.

Use ossutil
You can use ossutil to list objects in a bucket. For more information, see List objects.
Use the OSS API
If your business requires a high level of customization, you can directly call RESTful APIs. To directly call an API, you must include the signature calculation in your code.
You can call the GetBucket (ListObjects) or ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) operation to list objects in a bucket. We recommend that you call GetBucketV2 (ListObjectsV2) when you develop your applications. To provide backward compatibility, OSS continues its support for the GetBucket (ListObjects) operation.
FAQ
Does OSS support listing a specified number of pages of objects?
No, OSS does not support listing a specified number of pages of objects.
How do I list all objects in a specified directory?
You can call GetBucket (ListObjects) or ListObjectsV2 (GetBucketV2) to list information about all objects in a directory, including the directory structure and object names. For more information, see List objects by directory.
Can I sort objects based on the last modified time when I list objects?
No, you cannot sort objects based on the last modified time when you list objects. If you need to sort objects based on the last modified time, we recommend that you use the data indexing feature. For more information, see Data indexing.
