Request Syntax


GET /?bucket-region=BucketRegion&continuation-token=ContinuationToken&max-buckets=MaxBuckets&prefix=Prefix HTTP/1.1
Host: s3.amazonaws.com

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

bucket-region

Limits the response to buckets that are located in the specified AWS Region. The AWS Region must be expressed according to the AWS Region code, such as us-west-2 for the US West (Oregon) Region. For a list of the valid values for all of the AWS Regions, see Regions and Endpoints.

Note

Requests made to a Regional endpoint that is different from the bucket-region parameter are not supported. For example, if you want to limit the response to your buckets in Region us-west-2, the request must be made to an endpoint in Region us-west-2.

continuation-token

ContinuationToken indicates to Amazon S3 that the list is being continued on this bucket with a token. ContinuationToken is obfuscated and is not a real key. You can use this ContinuationToken for pagination of the list results.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1024.

Required: No.

max-buckets

Maximum number of buckets to be returned in response. When the number is more than the count of buckets that are owned by an AWS account, return all the buckets in response.

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 1000.

prefix

Limits the response to bucket names that begin with the specified bucket name prefix.
