listObjectsV2

End of support notice: Beginning November 21, 2025, Amazon S3 will stop returning DisplayName. Update your applications to use canonical IDs (unique identifier for Amazon Web Services accounts), Amazon Web Services account ID (12 digit identifier) or IAM ARNs (full resource naming) as a direct replacement of DisplayName.

This change affects the following Amazon Web Services Regions: US East (N. Virginia) Region, US West (N. California) Region, US West (Oregon) Region, Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region, Asia Pacific (Sydney) Region, Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Region, Europe (Ireland) Region, and South America (São Paulo) Region.

Returns some or all (up to 1,000) of the objects in a bucket with each request. 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. Make sure to design your application to parse the contents of the response and handle it appropriately. For more information about listing objects, see Listing object keys programmatically in the Amazon S3 User Guide. To get a list of your buckets, see ListBuckets.

• General purpose bucket - For general purpose buckets, ListObjectsV2 doesn't return prefixes that are related only to in-progress multipart uploads.

• Directory buckets - For directory buckets, ListObjectsV2 response includes the prefixes that are related only to in-progress multipart uploads.

• Directory buckets - For directory buckets, you must make requests for this API operation to the Zonal endpoint. These endpoints support virtual-hosted-style requests in the format https://<i>amzn-s3-demo-bucket</i>.s3express-<i>zone-id</i>.<i>region-code</i>.amazonaws.com/<i>key-name</i> . Path-style requests are not supported. For more information about endpoints in Availability Zones, see Regional and Zonal endpoints for directory buckets in Availability Zones in the Amazon S3 User Guide. For more information about endpoints in Local Zones, see Concepts for directory buckets in Local Zones in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

Permissions

• General purpose bucket permissions - To use this operation, you must have READ access to the bucket. You must have permission to perform the s3:ListBucket action. The bucket owner has this permission by default and can grant this permission to others. For more information about permissions, see Permissions Related to Bucket Subresource Operations and Managing Access Permissions to Your Amazon S3 Resources in the Amazon S3 User Guide.

• Directory bucket permissions - To grant access to this API operation on a directory bucket, we recommend that you use the CreateSession API operation for session-based authorization. Specifically, you grant the s3express:CreateSession permission to the directory bucket in a bucket policy or an IAM identity-based policy. Then, you make the CreateSession API call on the bucket to obtain a session token. With the session token in your request header, you can make API requests to this operation. After the session token expires, you make another CreateSession API call to generate a new session token for use. Amazon Web Services CLI or SDKs create session and refresh the session token automatically to avoid service interruptions when a session expires. For more information about authorization, see CreateSession.

Sorting order of returned objects

• General purpose bucket - For general purpose buckets, ListObjectsV2 returns objects in lexicographical order based on their key names.

• Directory bucket - For directory buckets, ListObjectsV2 does not return objects in lexicographical order.

HTTP Host header syntax

**Directory buckets ** - The HTTP Host header syntax is <i>Bucket-name</i>.s3express-<i>zone-id</i>.<i>region-code</i>.amazonaws.com.

This section describes the latest revision of this action. We recommend that you use this revised API operation for application development. For backward compatibility, Amazon S3 continues to support the prior version of this API operation, ListObjects.

The following operations are related to ListObjectsV2:

• GetObject

• PutObject

• CreateBucket

You must URL encode any signed header values that contain spaces. For example, if your header value is my file.txt, containing two spaces after my, you must URL encode this value to my%20%20file.txt.

Samples

fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   // The following example retrieves object list. The request specifies max keys to limit response to
// include only 2 object keys.
val resp = s3Client.listObjectsV2 {
    bucket = "DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET"
    maxKeys = 2
} 
   //sampleEnd
}
