S3 API Reference

This section contains the Amazon S3 API Reference documentation, which includes actions (operations) and data types.

The S3 API reference groups each of its Actions and Data Types into three sets: Amazon S3, Amazon S3 Control, and Amazon S3 on Outposts. There is no functional distinction between the three sets. If you don't find an API operation or data type that you're looking for in one set, check one of the other sets.

Actions

  • Amazon S3 Control — API operations for managing all other S3 resources.

  • Amazon S3 on Outposts — API operations for use with Amazon S3 on Outposts. You communicate with your Outposts bucket using an access point and endpoint connection over a virtual private cloud (VPC).
