Obtaining a Bucket List (SDK for Java)

Function

OBS buckets are containers for storing objects you upload to OBS. This API returns a list of all buckets that meet the specified conditions in all regions of the current account. Returned buckets are listed in alphabetical order by bucket name.

Restrictions

  • To obtain a bucket list, you must have the obs:bucket:ListAllMyBuckets permission. IAM is recommended for granting permissions. For details, see IAM Custom Policies.
  • The mapping between OBS regions and endpoints must comply with what is listed in Regions and Endpoints.
  • To query the bucket location when listing buckets, you need to set ListBucketsRequest.setQueryLocation to true.
