We recommend that you retrieve your S3 Metadata configurations by using the V2 GetBucketMetadataTableConfiguration API operation. We no longer recommend using the V1 GetBucketMetadataTableConfiguration API operation. If you created your S3 Metadata configuration before July 15, 2025, we recommend that you delete and re-create your configuration by using CreateBucketMetadataConfiguration so that you can expire journal table records and create a live inventory table. Retrieves the V1 S3 Metadata configuration for a general purpose bucket. For more information, see
Accelerating data discovery with S3 Metadata in the
Amazon S3 User Guide.
You can use the V2
GetBucketMetadataConfiguration API operation with V1 or V2 metadata table configurations. However, if you try to use the V1
GetBucketMetadataTableConfiguration API operation with V2 configurations, you will receive an HTTP
405 Method Not Allowed error.
Make sure that you update your processes to use the new V2 API operations (
CreateBucketMetadataConfiguration,
GetBucketMetadataConfiguration, and
DeleteBucketMetadataConfiguration) instead of the V1 API operations.
