See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  list-buckets
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

The following command uses the list-buckets command to display the names of all your Amazon S3 buckets (across all regions):

aws s3api list-buckets --query "Buckets[].Name"

The query option filters the output of list-buckets down to only the bucket names.

For more information about buckets, see Working with Amazon S3 Buckets in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.
