Object Storage Service:List buckets (C# SDK V1)

Last Updated:Nov 29, 2025

This topic describes how to list all the buckets in your account. The buckets are listed in alphabetical order.

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 Initialization.

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

Example code

The following code provides an example of how to list all the buckets in your account.

using Aliyun.OSS;
using Aliyun.OSS.Common;

// Specify the endpoint of the region where the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the endpoint to https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com.
var endpoint = "https://oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com";
// 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 set.
var accessKeyId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID");
var accessKeySecret = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET");
// Specify the region where the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to cn-hangzhou.
const string region = "cn-hangzhou";

// Create a ClientConfiguration instance and modify the default parameters as needed.
var conf = new ClientConfiguration();

// Set the signature version to V4.
conf.SignatureVersion = SignatureVersion.V4;

// Create an OssClient instance.
var client = new OssClient(endpoint, accessKeyId, accessKeySecret, conf);
client.SetRegion(region);

// List all buckets in your account.
try
    {
        var buckets = client.ListBuckets();

        Console.WriteLine("List bucket succeeded");
        foreach (var bucket in buckets)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Bucket name: {0}, Location: {1}, Owner: {2}", bucket.Name, bucket.Location, bucket.Owner);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("List bucket failed. {0}", ex.Message);
    }
