Use ListObjects with an Amazon SDK or CLI

The following code examples show how to use ListObjects.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

CLI
Amazon CLI

The following example uses the list-objects command to display the names of all the objects in the specified bucket:

aws s3api list-objects --bucket text-content --query 'Contents[].{Key: Key, Size: Size}'

The example uses the --query argument to filter the output of list-objects down to the key value and size for each object

For more information about objects, see Working with Amazon S3 Objects in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.
