This topic describes how to list all objects in a bucket using Object Storage Service (OSS) SDK for Python.
Usage notes
The sample code in this topic uses the region ID
cn-hangzhou
of the China (Hangzhou) region as an example. A public endpoint is used by default. If you want to access OSS from other Alibaba Cloud products in the same region, use an internal endpoint. For more information about the mappings between OSS regions and endpoints, see Regions and endpoints.To list files, you must have the
oss:ListObjects
permission. For more information, see Attach a custom policy to a RAM user.
Sample code
The following sample code provides an example on how to call the ListObjectsV2 operation to list all objects in a bucket:
import argparse import alibabacloud_oss_v2 as oss # Create a command line parameter parser. parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="list objects v2 sample") # Specify the --region parameter, which specifies the region in which the bucket is located. This command line parameter is required. parser.add_argument('--region', help='The region in which the bucket is located.', required=True) # Specify the --bucket parameter, which specifies the name of the bucket. This command line parameter is required. parser.add_argument('--bucket', help='The name of the bucket.', required=True) # Specify the --endpoint parameter, which specifies the endpoint that other services can use to access OSS. This command line parameter is optional. parser.add_argument('--endpoint', help='The domain names that other services can use to access OSS') def main(): args = parser.parse_args() # Parse the command line parameters. # Obtain access credentials from environment variables for authentication. credentials_provider = oss.credentials.EnvironmentVariableCredentialsProvider() # Load the default configurations of the SDK and specify the credential provider. cfg = oss.config.load_default() cfg.credentials_provider = credentials_provider # Set the region in the configuration to the one specified in the command line. cfg.region = args.region # If the endpoint parameter is provided, specify the endpoint. if args.endpoint is not None: cfg.endpoint = args.endpoint # Use the configurations to create an OSSClient instance. client = oss.Client(cfg) # Create a paginator to allow the ListObjectsV2 operation to list objects. paginator = client.list_objects_v2_paginator() # Traverse each page of the listed objects. for page in paginator.iter_page(oss.ListObjectsV2Request( bucket=args.bucket ) ): # Traverse each object on each page. for o in page.contents: # Display the name, size, and last modified time of the object. print(f'Object: {o.key}, {o.size}, {o.last_modified}') if __name__ == "__main__": main() # Specify the entry points in the main function of the script when the script is directly run.
