Listing Buckets

If you have any questions during the development, post them on the Issues page of GitHub. For details about parameters and usage of each API, see the API Reference.

You can call ObsClient.ListBuckets to list buckets. The sample code is as follows:

// Initialize configuration parameters.
ObsConfig config = new ObsConfig();
config.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.
string accessKey= Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AccessKeyID", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
string secretKey= Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("SecretAccessKey", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
// Create an instance of ObsClient.
ObsClient client = new ObsClient(accessKey, secretKey, config);
// List buckets.
try
{
    ListBucketsRequest request = new ListBucketsRequest();
    ListBucketsResponse response = client.ListBuckets(request);
    request.IsQueryLocation = true;
    foreach (ObsBucket bucket in response.Buckets)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Bucket name is : {0}", bucket.BucketName);
        Console.WriteLine("Bucket creationDate is : {0}", bucket.CreationDate);
        Console.WriteLine("Bucket location is : {0}", bucket.Location);
        Console.WriteLine("\n");
    }
}
catch (ObsException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine("ErrorCode: {0}", ex.ErrorCode);
    Console.WriteLine("ErrorMessage: {0}", ex.ErrorMessage);
}
  • Obtained bucket names are listed in the lexicographical order.
  • Set ListBucketsRequest.IsQueryLocation to true and then you can query the bucket location when listing buckets.
