Listing Object Storage Objects in a Bucket

View a list of the objects in an Object Storage bucket.

When you list the objects in a bucket, they appear in a table in lexicological (numerical + alphabetical) order.

    1. On the Buckets list page, select the Object Storage bucket that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the bucket, see Listing Buckets.
    2. On the bucket's details page, select Objects.
    The Objects tab opens. All objects in the selected bucket are displayed in a table.

    Filtering List Results

    Use filters to limit the objects in the list. Perform one of the following actions depending on the options that you see:

    • From the Search object by name or prefix box above the list table, enter a name or prefix to filter the list of objects displayed.

    Change the order of the items in the list table by using the sort icons next to the column names.

    For information about searching for resources and managing the columns in the list table, if those features are available, see Listing Resources.

    Actions

    To perform an action on an object directly from the object list table, select any of the following options from the Actions menu in the row for that object:

    To create a bucket, select Create bucket.

  • Use the oci os object list command and required parameters to list the objects in a bucket:

    oci os object list --bucket-name bucket_name [OPTIONS]

    By default, a minimal number of fields are returned for each object. For example:

    oci os object list --bucket-name MyBucket

  • Run the ListObjects operation to list the objects in a bucket.

    Object Storage prepends the Object Storage namespace string and bucket name to the object name when constructing a URL for use with the API:

    /n/object_storage_namespace/b/bucket/o/object_name
                        

    The object name is everything after the /o/, which could include hierarchy levels and prefix strings.
