List multipart uploads

Lists the ongoing XML API multipart uploads for a bucket, returned in an XML document in the response body.

Uploads in the list are ordered lexicographically by the name of their associated objects, and the XML API does not return lists longer than 1000 uploads. If there are more uploads to return than can fit in the response, the response returns an IsTruncated element with a value of true. In this case, the response also contains a NextKeyMarker and a NextUploadIdMarker element which you can use in subsequent listing requests.

You can restrict and organize the list of uploads returned in the request by using the listed query string parameters.

Query string parameters

Parameter Description Required
delimiter A character or multiple characters that can be used to simplify a list of uploads when their associated objects use a directory-like naming scheme. Can be used in conjunction with a prefix. No
encoding-type When set to url, object names are URL-encoded in the response. No
key-marker The object name after which you want to start listing. Uploads that are associated with objects whose names are lexicographically greater than the key-marker are returned in the list of uploads. No
max-uploads The maximum number of uploads to return in the response. No
prefix A string that limits the returned uploads to only those associated with objects whose names begin with the specified value. Can be used in conjunction with a delimiter. No
upload-id-marker The upload ID after which you want to start listing uploads. If you use upload-id-marker, you must also use key-marker, or else upload-id-marker is ignored. Uploads that are associated with the object whose names matches the key-marker and that are lexicographically greater than the upload-id-marker are returned in the list of uploads. No
uploads Indicates that the list request applies to ongoing multipart uploads in the bucket. Yes

Response body elements

The following response body elements apply to GET Bucket requests that use the uploads query string parameter.

Element Description
ListMultipartUploadsResult Container for the upload information you are requesting.
Bucket The name of the bucket that contains the requested multipart uploads.
KeyMarker The object name at or after which the current listing begins.
UploadIdMarker The upload ID after which the current listing begins.
NextKeyMarker The name of the last object whose uploads were returned in this listing. This is included in the response only if the list is truncated. Use this value in the key-marker query string parameter of a future listing request in order to list the uploads that follow the current set of results.
NextUploadIdMarker The ID of the last upload that was returned in this listing. This is included in the response only if the list is truncated. Use this value in the upload-id-marker query string parameter of a future listing request in order to list the uploads that follow the current set of results.
Delimiter The delimiter that you specified in the request.
Prefix The prefix that you specified in the request.
MaxUploads The maximum number of uploads that were allowed in the response, as given by max-uploads in the request or 1000, whichever is smaller.
IsTruncated Indicates whether or not there are uploads that do not appear in the current results due to the response containing a maximium number of uploads.
Upload A container for each ongoing multipart upload in the bucket. A response can contain zero or more Upload elements.
Key The name of the object for which the multipart upload was initiated.
UploadId The upload ID that identifies the multipart upload.
StorageClass The storage class for the multipart upload.
Initiated The date and time when the multipart upload was initiated.
CommonPrefixes Container for prefixes that satisfy your prefix and delimiter constraints. This container is used only if you specify a delimiter in the request, and duplicate entries are omitted. Within each CommonPrefixes container is a single Prefixes element with a prefix value.
