      Overview

      This document provides an overview of APIs and SDK code samples related to listing objects.
      API
      Operation
      Description
      Querying an object list
      Queries some or all objects in a bucket

      Description

      This API is used to query some or all the objects in a bucket.
      Note:
      In COS, if a listed object key is project/, it is an empty object to simulate the effects of a folder. For more information, please see Folder and directory.

      Sample code

      Sample 1. Listing all files in the a directory
      cos.getBucket({
          Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
          Region: 'COS_REGION',  /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
          Prefix: 'a/',           /* Set a prefix to indicate that the key of the listed object starts with the prefix. Not required. */
      }, function(err, data) {
          console.log(err || data.Contents);
      });
      Response:
      {
          "Name": "examplebucket-1250000000",
          "Prefix": "",
          "Marker": "a/",
          "MaxKeys": "1000",
          "Delimiter": "",
          "IsTruncated": "false",
          "Contents": [{
              "Key": "a/3mb.zip",
              "LastModified": "2018-10-18T07:08:03.000Z",
              "ETag": "\\"05a9a30179f3db7b63136f30aa6aacae-3\\"",
              "Size": "3145728",
              "Owner": {
                  "ID": "1250000000",
                  "DisplayName": "1250000000"
              },
              "StorageClass": "STANDARD"
          }],
          "statusCode": 200,
          "headers": {}
      }
      Sample 2. Listing the files in the a directory without deep traversal
      cos.getBucket({
          Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
          Region: 'COS_REGION',  /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
          Prefix: 'a/',           /* Set a prefix to indicate that the key of the listed object starts with the prefix. Not required. */
          Delimiter: '/',            /* Set the delimiter "/" to list objects in the current directory. To list all objects, leave this parameter empty. Not required. */
      }, function(err, data) {
          console.log(err || data.CommonPrefixes);
      });
      Response:
      {
          "Name": "examplebucket-1250000000",
          "Prefix": "a/",
          "Marker": "",
          "MaxKeys": "1000",
          "Delimiter": "/",
          "IsTruncated": "false",
          "CommonPrefixes": [{
              "Prefix": "a/1/"
          }],
          "Contents": [{
              "Key": "a/3mb.zip",
              "LastModified": "2018-10-18T07:08:03.000Z",
              "ETag": "\\"05a9a30179f3db7b63136f30aa6aacae-3\\"",
              "Size": "3145728",
              "Owner": {
                  "ID": "1250000000",
                  "DisplayName": "1250000000"
              },
              "StorageClass": "STANDARD"
          }],
          "statusCode": 200,
          "headers": {}
      }
      Sample 3. Listing all files in the a directory.
      var listFolder = function(marker) {
          cos.getBucket({
              Bucket: 'examplebucket-1250000000', /* Your bucket name. Required. */
              Region: 'COS_REGION',  /* Bucket region, such as `ap-beijing`. Required. */
              Prefix: 'a/',           /* Set a prefix to indicate that the key of the listed object starts with the prefix. Not required. */
              Marker:       marker,
              MaxKeys: 1000,
          }, function(err, data) {
              if (err) {
                  return console.log('list error:', err);
              } else {
                  console.log('list result:', data.Contents);
                  if (data.IsTruncated === 'true') listFolder(data.NextMarker);
                  else return console.log('list complete');
              }
          });
      };
      listFolder();
