Retrieves a list of objects matching the criteria, ordered in the list lexicographically by name. Try it now.
The namespace within a bucket is flat, but the use of the
delimiter
parameter in conjunction with the prefix
filter allows the
list
method to operate like a directory listing. For example, consider a bucket
that contains the objects "a/b", "a/c", "d", "e", "e/f", and "e/g/h":
- If
delimiter
is set to "/" andprefix
is not set, then an object listing of the bucket returns object metadata for objects "d" and "e". It also returns "a/" and "e/" in theprefixes[]
list. - If
delimiter
is set to "/" andprefix
is set to "e/", then an object listing of the bucket returns object metadata for object "e/f". It also returns "g/" in theprefixes[]
list.

Request
HTTP request
GET https://storage.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/bucket/o
In addition to standard query parameters, the following query parameters apply to this method.
To see an example of how to include query parameters in a request, see the JSON API Overview page.
Parameters
Parameter name | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Path parameters | ||
bucket |
string |
Name of the bucket in which to look for objects. |
Optional query parameters | ||
delimiter |
string |
Returns results in a directory-like mode, with
|
endOffset |
string |
Filter results to objects whose names are lexicographically before endOffset .
If startOffset is also set, the objects listed have names between
startOffset (inclusive) and endOffset (exclusive).
|
includeTrailingDelimiter |
boolean |
If true, objects that end in exactly one instance of delimiter have
their metadata included in items[] in addition to the relevant part of the
object name appearing in prefixes[] .
|
maxResults |
integer |
Maximum combined number of entries in items[] and prefixes[] to
return in a single page of responses. Because duplicate entries in prefixes[]
are omitted, fewer total results may be returned than requested. The service uses this
parameter or 1,000 items, whichever is smaller.
|
pageToken |
string |
A previously-returned page token representing part of the larger set of results to view.
The pageToken is an encoded field that marks the name and generation of the
last object in the returned list. In a subsequent request using the
pageToken , items that come after the pageToken are shown (up
to maxResults ).
If you start a listing and then create an object in the bucket before using a pageToken to continue listing, you do not see the new object in subsequent
listing results if it is in part of the object namespace already listed.
|
prefix |
string |
Filter results to include only objects whose names begin with this prefix. |
projection |
string |
Set of properties to return. Defaults to noAcl .
Acceptable values are:
|
startOffset |
string |
Filter results to objects whose names are lexicographically equal to or after
startOffset . If endOffset is also set, the objects listed have
names between startOffset (inclusive) and endOffset (exclusive).
|
versions |
boolean |
If true , lists all versions of an object as distinct results in order of
increasing generation number. The default value for versions is
false . For more information, see
Object Versioning.

Request body
Do not supply a request body with this method.
Response
If successful, this method returns a response body with the following structure:
{ "kind": "storage#objects", "nextPageToken": string, "prefixes": [ string ], "items": [ objects Resource ] }
Property name | Value | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
kind |
string |
The kind of item this is. For lists of objects, this is always
storage#objects . |
|
nextPageToken |
string |
The continuation token, included only if there are more items to return. Provide this
value as the pageToken of a subsequent request in order to return the next
page of results. |
|
prefixes[] |
list |
Object name prefixes for objects that matched the listing request but were excluded from
items[] because of a delimiter. Values in this list are object names up to
and including the requested delimiter. Duplicate entries are omitted from this list. |
|
items[] |
list |
The list of objects, ordered lexicographically by name. |
