GET Service

Lists all of the buckets in a specified project.

The GET Service method is a simple GET request without a bucket or object scope. The request returns the list of buckets in an XML document in the response body. The request must be authenticated (anonymous requests will fail). By default, only the project owners group can list buckets because they are the owner of all buckets within the project. The project team and project editors groups have only view or write access to buckets, respectively.

If the GET Service request fails, it returns a 403 Forbidden status code. The body of the error response will also contain a message describing the reason why the request failed.
