list_buckets

Operation

list_buckets async

list_buckets(input: ListBucketsInput, plugins: list[Plugin] | None = None) -> ListBucketsOutput
Note

This operation is not supported for directory buckets.

Returns a list of all buckets owned by the authenticated sender of the request. To grant IAM permission to use this operation, you must add the s3:ListAllMyBuckets policy action.

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

Warning

We strongly recommend using only paginated ListBuckets requests. Unpaginated ListBuckets requests are only supported for Amazon Web Services accounts set to the default general purpose bucket quota of 10,000. If you have an approved general purpose bucket quota above 10,000, you must send paginated ListBuckets requests to list your account's buckets. All unpaginated ListBuckets requests will be rejected for Amazon Web Services accounts with a general purpose bucket quota greater than 10,000.

Warning: You must URL encode any signed header values that contain spaces. For example, if your header value is my file.txt, containing two spaces after my, you must URL encode this value to my%20%20file.txt.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
input ListBucketsInput

An instance of ListBucketsInput.

required
plugins list[Plugin] | None

A list of callables that modify the configuration dynamically. Changes made by these plugins only apply for the duration of the operation execution and will not affect any other operation invocations.

None

Returns:

Type Description
ListBucketsOutput

An instance of ListBucketsOutput.

Input

ListBucketsInput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for ListBucketsInput structure.

Attributes

bucket_region class-attribute instance-attribute
bucket_region: str | None = ...

Limits the response to buckets that are located in the specified Amazon Web Services Region. The Amazon Web Services Region must be expressed according to the Amazon Web Services Region code, such as us-west-2 for the US West (Oregon) Region. For a list of the valid values for all of the Amazon Web Services Regions, see Regions and Endpoints.

Note

Requests made to a Regional endpoint that is different from the bucket-region parameter are not supported. For example, if you want to limit the response to your buckets in Region us-west-2, the request must be made to an endpoint in Region us-west-2.

continuation_token class-attribute instance-attribute
continuation_token: str | None = ...

ContinuationToken indicates to Amazon S3 that the list is being continued on this bucket with a token. ContinuationToken is obfuscated and is not a real key. You can use this ContinuationToken for pagination of the list results.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.

Required: No.

Note

If you specify the bucket-region, prefix, or continuation-token query parameters without using max-buckets to set the maximum number of buckets returned in the response, Amazon S3 applies a default page size of 10,000 and provides a continuation token if there are more buckets.

max_buckets class-attribute instance-attribute
max_buckets: int | None = ...

Maximum number of buckets to be returned in response. When the number is more than the count of buckets that are owned by an Amazon Web Services account, return all the buckets in response.

prefix class-attribute instance-attribute
prefix: str | None = ...

Limits the response to bucket names that begin with the specified bucket name prefix.

Output

ListBucketsOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Dataclass for ListBucketsOutput structure.

Attributes

buckets class-attribute instance-attribute
buckets: list[Bucket] | None = ...

The list of buckets owned by the requester.

continuation_token class-attribute instance-attribute
continuation_token: str | None = ...

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.

owner class-attribute instance-attribute
owner: Owner | None = ...

The owner of the buckets listed.

prefix class-attribute instance-attribute
prefix: str | None = ...

If Prefix was sent with the request, it is included in the response.

All bucket names in the response begin with the specified bucket name prefix.

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.
