Listing Buckets

You can use listBuckets to list buckets.

Sample code:

static OBSClient *client;
NSString *endPoint = @"https://your-endpoint";
// Hard-coded or plaintext AK and SK are risky. For security purposes, encrypt your AK and SK before storing them in the configuration file or environment variables. In this example, the AK and SK are stored in environment variables. Before running the code in this example, configure environment variables AccessKeyID and SecretAccessKey.
// 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.
char* ak_env = getenv("AccessKeyID");
char* sk_env = getenv("SecretAccessKey");
if (ak_env == NULL || sk_env == NULL) {
    NSLog(@"Error: AccessKeyID or SecretAccessKey environment variable not set");
    return;
}
NSString *AK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:ak_env];
NSString *SK = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:sk_env];

// Initialize identity authentication.
OBSStaticCredentialProvider *credentialProvider = [[OBSStaticCredentialProvider alloc] initWithAccessKey:AK secretKey:SK];
    
//Initialize service configuration.
OBSServiceConfiguration *conf = [[OBSServiceConfiguration alloc] initWithURLString:endPoint credentialProvider:credentialProvider];
    
// Initialize an instance of OBSClient.
client = [[OBSClient alloc] initWithConfiguration:conf];
    
// List buckets.
OBSListBucketsRequest *request = [OBSListBucketsRequest new];
    
[client listBuckets:request completionHandler:^(OBSListBucketsResponse *response, NSError *error) {
    for(OBSBucket *bucket in response.bucketsList){
        NSLog(@"bucketname=%@",bucket.name);
    }
}];

Obtained bucket names are listed in the lexicographical order.
