CLI

AWS CLI

To retrieve the tags attached to an object

The following get-object-tagging example retrieves the values for the specified key from the specified object.

aws s3api get-object-tagging \
    --bucket my-bucket \
    --key doc1.rtf

Output:

{
    "TagSet": [
        {
            "Value": "confidential",
            "Key": "designation"
        }
    ]
}

The following get-object-tagging example tries to retrieve the tag sets of the object doc2.rtf, which has no tags.

aws s3api get-object-tagging \
    --bucket my-bucket \
    --key doc2.rtf

Output:

{
    "TagSet": []
}

The following get-object-tagging example retrieves the tag sets of the object doc3.rtf, which has multiple tags.

aws s3api get-object-tagging \
    --bucket my-bucket \
    --key doc3.rtf

Output:

{
    "TagSet": [
        {
            "Value": "confidential",
            "Key": "designation"
        },
        {
            "Value": "finance",
            "Key": "department"
        },
        {
            "Value": "payroll",
            "Key": "team"
        }
    ]
}
