Listing Buckets (SDK for Node.js)

If you have any questions during development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub.

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 list buckets, you must have the obs:bucket:ListAllMyBuckets permission. IAM is recommended for granting permissions. For details, see IAM Custom Policies.

To learn about the mappings between OBS regions and endpoints, see Regions and Endpoints.

Method

ObsClient.listBuckets(params)

Code Examples

You can call ObsClient.listBuckets to list buckets. This example lists all buckets.

    
     
       
       
         // Import the OBS library.
// Use npm to install the client.
const ObsClient = require("esdk-obs-nodejs");
// Use the source code to install the client.
// var ObsClient = require('./lib/obs');

// Create an instance of ObsClient.
const obsClient = new ObsClient({
  // Obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import an AK/SK pair in other ways. Using hard coding may result in leakage.
  // Obtain an AK/SK pair on the management console. For details, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/usermanual-ca/ca_01_0003.html.
  access_key_id: process.env.ACCESS_KEY_ID,
  secret_access_key: process.env.SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
  // (Optional) If you use a temporary AK/SK pair and a security token to access OBS, you are advised not to use hard coding, which may result in information leakage. You can obtain an AK/SK pair using environment variables or import an AK/SK pair in other ways.
  // security_token: process.env.SECURITY_TOKEN,
  // Enter the endpoint corresponding to the region where the bucket is located. CN-Hong Kong is used here in this example. Replace it with the one currently in use.
  server: "https://obs.ap-southeast-1.myhuaweicloud.com"
});

async function listBuckets() {
  try {
    const params = {
      // Specify whether to query the bucket location in the listing. The default value is false. true is used in this example.
      QueryLocation: true,
      // Specify a bucket type (object buckets in this example). If this parameter is not specified, object buckets and parallel file systems are listed by default.
      BucketType: "OBJECT",
    };
    // List buckets.
    const result = await obsClient.listBuckets(params);
    if (result.CommonMsg.Status <= 300) {
      console.log("List buckets successful!", params.Bucket);
      console.log("RequestId: %s", result.CommonMsg.RequestId);

      console.log('ID: %s', result.InterfaceResult.Owner.ID);
      console.log('Name: %s', result.InterfaceResult.Owner.Name);
      console.log('Buckets:');
      for (let i = 0; i < result.InterfaceResult.Buckets.length; i++) {
          const val = result.InterfaceResult.Buckets[i];
          console.log("Bucket[%d]-Name:%s,CreationDate:%s,Location: %s",
            i, val.BucketName, val.CreationDate, val.Location);
      };
      return;
    };
    console.log("An ObsError was found, which means your request sent to OBS was rejected with an error response.");
    console.log("Status: %d", result.CommonMsg.Status);
    console.log("Code: %s", result.CommonMsg.Code);
    console.log("Message: %s", result.CommonMsg.Message);
    console.log("RequestId: %s", result.CommonMsg.RequestId);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log("An Exception was found, which means the client encountered an internal problem when attempting to communicate with OBS, for example, the client was unable to access the network.");
    console.log(error);
  };
};
