Examples

All of these examples assume that the AWS library is required, credentials are loaded via environment
variables (

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID

 and 

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

), and the region is set via

AWS.config.update({region: 'us-east-1'});

.

The common preamble code can be summarized as follows:

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');

AWS.config.update({region: 'us-east-1'});

Amazon S3: List All of Your Buckets (listBuckets)

The following example lists all buckets associated with your AWS account:

var s3 = new AWS.S3();

s3.client.listBuckets(function(err, data) {

  for (var index in data.Buckets) {

    var bucket = data.Buckets[index];

    console.log("Bucket: ", bucket.Name, ' : ', bucket.CreationDate);

  }

});
