Object Storage Service:List buckets

Last Updated:Oct 11, 2023

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

Usage notes

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

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

Sample code

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

#include "oss_api.h"
#include "aos_http_io.h"
/* Specify the endpoint of the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com. */
const char *endpoint = "yourEndpoint";
void init_options(oss_request_options_t *options)
{
    options->config = oss_config_create(options->pool);
    /* Use a char* string to initialize data of the aos_string_t type. */
    aos_str_set(&options->config->endpoint, endpoint);
    /* 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. */
    aos_str_set(&options->config->access_key_id, getenv("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"));
    aos_str_set(&options->config->access_key_secret, getenv("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET"));
    /* Specify whether to use CNAME to access OSS. The value 0 indicates that CNAME is not used. */
    options->config->is_cname = 0;
    /* Configure network parameters, such as the timeout period. */
    options->ctl = aos_http_controller_create(options->pool, 0);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    /* Call the aos_http_io_initialize method in main() to initialize global resources, such as network resources and memory resources. */
    if (aos_http_io_initialize(NULL, 0) != AOSE_OK) {
        exit(1);
    }
    /* Create a memory pool to manage memory. aos_pool_t is equivalent to apr_pool_t. The code used to create a memory pool is included in the APR library. */
    aos_pool_t *pool;
    /* Create a memory pool. The value of the second parameter is NULL. This value indicates that the pool does not inherit other memory pools. */
    aos_pool_create(&pool, NULL);
    /* Create and initialize options. This parameter includes global configuration information, such as endpoint, access_key_id, access_key_secret, is_cname, and curl. */
    oss_request_options_t *oss_client_options;
    /* Allocate the memory resources in the memory pool to the options. */
    oss_client_options = oss_request_options_create(pool);
    /* Initialize oss_client_options. */
    init_options(oss_client_options);
    /* Initialize the parameters. */
    aos_table_t *resp_headers = NULL; 
    aos_status_t *resp_status = NULL; 
    oss_list_buckets_params_t *params = NULL;
    oss_list_bucket_content_t *content = NULL;
    int size = 0;
    params = oss_create_list_buckets_params(pool);
    /* List buckets. */
    resp_status = oss_list_bucket(oss_client_options, params, &resp_headers);
    if (aos_status_is_ok(resp_status)) {
        printf("list buckets succeeded\n");
    } else {
        printf("list buckets failed\n");
    }
    /* Display the buckets. */
    aos_list_for_each_entry(oss_list_bucket_content_t, content, &params->bucket_list, node) {
        printf("BucketName: %s\n", content->name.data);
        ++size;
    }
    /* Release the memory pool. This operation releases the memory resources allocated for the request. */
    aos_pool_destroy(pool);
    /* Release the allocated global resources. */
    aos_http_io_deinitialize();
    return 0;
}
