list-buckets¶

Description¶

Returns a list of all buckets owned by the authenticated sender of the request. To use this operation, you must have the s3:ListAllMyBuckets permission.

For information about Amazon S3 buckets, see Creating, configuring, and working with Amazon S3 buckets .

See also: AWS API Documentation

list-buckets is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: Buckets

Options¶

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command's output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command's output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

• json
• text
• table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

• on
• off
• auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples¶

The following command uses the list-buckets command to display the names of all your Amazon S3 buckets (across all regions):

aws s3api list-buckets --query "Buckets[].Name"

The query option filters the output of list-buckets down to only the bucket names.

For more information about buckets, see Working with Amazon S3 Buckets in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.

Output¶

Buckets -> (list)

The list of buckets owned by the requester.

(structure)

In terms of implementation, a Bucket is a resource.

Name -> (string)

The name of the bucket.

CreationDate -> (timestamp)

Date the bucket was created. This date can change when making changes to your bucket, such as editing its bucket policy.

Owner -> (structure)

The owner of the buckets listed.

DisplayName -> (string)

Container for the display name of the owner. This value is only supported in the following Amazon Web Services Regions:

• US East (N. Virginia)
• US West (N. California)
• US West (Oregon)
• Asia Pacific (Singapore)
• Asia Pacific (Sydney)
• Asia Pacific (Tokyo)
• Europe (Ireland)
• South America (São Paulo)

Note

This functionality is not supported for directory buckets.

ID -> (string)

Container for the ID of the owner.

ContinuationToken -> (string)

ContinuationToken is included in the response when there are more buckets that can be listed with pagination. The next ListBuckets request to Amazon S3 can be continued with this ContinuationToken . ContinuationToken is obfuscated and is not a real bucket.
