Description

This operation is not supported by directory buckets. Returns some or all (up to 1,000) of the objects in a bucket. You can use the request parameters as selection criteria to return a subset of the objects in a bucket. A 200 OK response can contain valid or invalid XML. Be sure to design your application to parse the contents of the response and handle it appropriately. This action has been revised. We recommend that you use the newer version, ListObjectsV2, when developing applications. For backward compatibility, Amazon S3 continues to support ListObjects. The following operations are related to ListObjects:

This cmdlet automatically pages all available results to the pipeline - parameters related to iteration are only needed if you want to manually control the paginated output. To disable autopagination, use -NoAutoIteration.

Parameters

-BucketName <String>
The name of the bucket containing the objects.Directory buckets - When you use this operation with a directory bucket, you must use virtual-hosted-style requests in the format Bucket_name.s3express-az_id.region.amazonaws.com. Path-style requests are not supported. Directory bucket names must be unique in the chosen Availability Zone. Bucket names must follow the format bucket_base_name--az-id--x-s3 (for example, DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET--usw2-az1--x-s3). For information about bucket naming restrictions, see Directory bucket naming rules in the Amazon S3 User Guide.Access points - When you use this action with an access point, you must provide the alias of the access point in place of the bucket name or specify the access point ARN. When using the access point ARN, you must direct requests to the access point hostname. The access point hostname takes the form AccessPointName-AccountId.s3-accesspoint.Region.amazonaws.com. When using this action with an access point through the Amazon Web Services SDKs, you provide the access point ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about access point ARNs, see Using access points in the Amazon S3 User Guide.Access points and Object Lambda access points are not supported by directory buckets.S3 on Outposts - When you use this action with Amazon S3 on Outposts, you must direct requests to the S3 on Outposts hostname. The S3 on Outposts hostname takes the form AccessPointName-AccountId.outpostID.s3-outposts.Region.amazonaws.com. When you use this action with S3 on Outposts through the Amazon Web Services SDKs, you provide the Outposts access point ARN in place of the bucket name. For more information about S3 on Outposts ARNs, see What is S3 on Outposts? in the Amazon S3 User Guide.
Required?False

Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Delimiter <String>
A delimiter is a character that you use to group keys.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Encoding <EncodingType>
Requests Amazon S3 to encode the object keys in the response and specifies the encoding method to use. An object key may contain any Unicode character; however, XML 1.0 parser cannot parse some characters, such as characters with an ASCII value from 0 to 10. For characters that are not supported in XML 1.0, you can add this parameter to request that Amazon S3 encode the keys in the response.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ExpectedBucketOwner <String>
The account ID of the expected bucket owner. If the account ID that you provide does not match the actual owner of the bucket, the request fails with the HTTP status code 403 Forbidden (access denied).
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-ForcePathStyleAddressing <Boolean>
S3 requests can be performed using one of two URI styles: Virtual or Path. When using Virtual style, the bucket is included as part of the hostname. When using Path style the bucket is included as part of the URI path. The default value is $true when the EndpointUrl parameter is specified, $false otherwise.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Key <String>
Key value identifying a single object in S3 to return metadata for.
Required?True
Position?2
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Marker <String>
Marker is where you want Amazon S3 to start listing from. Amazon S3 starts listing after this specified key. Marker can be any key in the bucket.
Note: This parameter is only used if you are manually controlling output pagination of the service API call.
In order to manually control output pagination, use '-Marker $null' for the first call and '-Marker $AWSHistory.LastServiceResponse.NextMarker' for subsequent calls.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesNextToken
-MaxKey <Int32>
Sets the maximum number of keys returned in the response. By default the action returns up to 1,000 key names. The response might contain fewer keys but will never contain more.
Note: In AWSPowerShell and AWSPowerShell.NetCore this parameter is used to limit the total number of items returned by the cmdlet.
In AWS.Tools this parameter is simply passed to the service to specify how many items should be returned by each service call.
Pipe the output of this cmdlet into Select-Object -First to terminate retrieving data pages early and control the number of items returned.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesMaxItems, MaxKeys
-NoAutoIteration <SwitchParameter>
By default the cmdlet will auto-iterate and retrieve all results to the pipeline by performing multiple service calls. If set, the cmdlet will retrieve only the next 'page' of results using the value of Marker as the start point.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-OptionalObjectAttribute <String[]>
Specifies the optional fields that you want returned in the response. Fields that you do not specify are not returned.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesOptionalObjectAttributes
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the BucketName parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^BucketName' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Prefix <String>
Limits the response to keys that begin with the specified prefix.
Required?False
Position?2
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
AliasesKeyPrefix
-RequestPayer <RequestPayer>
Confirms that the requester knows that she or he will be charged for the list objects request. Bucket owners need not specify this parameter in their requests.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'S3Objects'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.S3.Model.ListObjectsResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.S3.Model.ListObjectsResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-UseAccelerateEndpoint <SwitchParameter>
Enables S3 accelerate by sending requests to the accelerate endpoint instead of the regular region endpoint. To use this feature, the bucket name must be DNS compliant and must not contain periods (.).
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-UseDualstackEndpoint <SwitchParameter>
