Object Storage Service:List buckets by using OSS SDK for PHP

Last Updated:Mar 11, 2024

A bucket is a container for objects stored in Object Storage Service (OSS). All objects in OSS are contained in buckets. Buckets are listed in alphabetical order. You can list buckets that belong to the current Alibaba Cloud account in all regions and meet specific conditions.

Usage notes

  • In this topic, the public endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud services in the same region as OSS, use an internal endpoint. For more information about OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions and endpoints.

  • In this topic, an OSSClient instance is created by using an OSS endpoint. If you want to create an OSSClient instance by using custom domain names or Security Token Service (STS), see Create an OSSClient instance.

  • To list buckets, you must have the oss:ListBuckets permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.

List all buckets within an Alibaba Cloud account

The following sample code provides an example on how to list buckets in all regions within the current Alibaba Cloud account:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
try{
    $config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);
    // List all buckets in all regions within the current Alibaba Cloud account. 
    $bucketListInfo = $ossClient->listBuckets();
} catch(OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}
$bucketList = $bucketListInfo->getBucketList();
foreach($bucketList as $bucket) {
    print($bucket->getLocation() . "\t" . $bucket->getName() . "\t" . $bucket->getCreatedate() . "\n");
}        

List buckets whose names contain a specific prefix

The following sample code provides an example on how to list buckets whose names contain the example prefix in all regions within the current Alibaba Cloud account:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;
// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";

$config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);

// Specify the prefix that is contained in the names of the buckets that you want to list. 
$prefix = "example";

try{
    $options = array(OssClient::OSS_QUERY_STRING => array(OssClient::OSS_PREFIX => $prefix));
    // List the buckets whose names contain the specified prefix in all regions within the current Alibaba Cloud account. 
    $bucketListInfo = $ossClient->listBuckets($options);
} catch(OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}

$bucketList = $bucketListInfo->getBucketList();
foreach($bucketList as $bucket) {
    print($bucket->getLocation() . "\t" . $bucket->getName() . "\t" . $bucket->getCreatedate() . "\n");
}

List buckets whose names are alphabetically after the bucket specified by marker

The following sample code provides an example on how to list buckets whose names are alphabetically after the bucket named examplebucket in all regions within the current Alibaba Cloud account:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";

$config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);

// Specify the value of marker. 
$marker = "examplebucket";
// List all buckets whose names are alphabetically after examplebucket within the current Alibaba Cloud account. 
try{
    $options = array(OssClient::OSS_QUERY_STRING => array(OssClient::OSS_MARKER => $marker));

    $bucketListInfo = $ossClient->listBuckets($options);
} catch(OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}

$bucketList = $bucketListInfo->getBucketList();
foreach($bucketList as $bucket) {
    print($bucket->getLocation() . "\t" . $bucket->getName() . "\t" . $bucket->getCreatedate() . "\n");
}

List a specific number of buckets

The following sample code provides an example on how to list the buckets in all regions within the current Alibaba Cloud account and set the maximum number of buckets that can be listed to 500:

<?php
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../autoload.php';
}
if (is_file(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php')) {
    require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
}

use OSS\Credentials\EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider;
use OSS\OssClient;
use OSS\CoreOssException;

// Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that the OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET environment variables are configured. 
$provider = new EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider();
// In this example, the endpoint of the China (Hangzhou) region is used. Specify your actual endpoint. 
$endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";

$config = array(
        "provider" => $provider,
        "endpoint" => $endpoint,
    );
    $ossClient = new OssClient($config);
The MAX_KEYS parameter is used to specify the maximum number of returned buckets. The value of MAX_KEYS cannot exceed 1000. By default, if the MAX_KEYS parameter is not specified, 100 buckets are returned. 
// List 500 buckets. 
try{
    $options = array(OssClient::OSS_QUERY_STRING => array(OssClient::OSS_MAX_KEYS => 500));
    
    $bucketListInfo = $ossClient->listBuckets($options);
} catch(OssException $e) {
    printf(__FUNCTION__ . ": FAILED\n");
    printf($e->getMessage() . "\n");
    return;
}

$bucketList = $bucketListInfo->getBucketList();
foreach($bucketList as $bucket) {
    print($bucket->getLocation() . "\t" . $bucket->getName() . "\t" . $bucket->getCreatedate() . "\n");
}
