aws-s3api: List buckets.
$ aws s3api list-buckets
try on your machine
The command "aws s3api list-buckets" is used to retrieve a list of all the S3 buckets owned by the AWS account in use.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "aws" refers to the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) tool, which allows users to interact with various AWS services from the command line.
- "s3api" specifies the S3 API, which is the interface used to manage Amazon S3 buckets and objects programmatically.
- "list-buckets" is the specific API action that is being called. It requests the API to return a list of all the S3 buckets owned by the AWS account.
When the command is executed, it will make a request to the AWS S3 service using the API specified, and in response, AWS will provide a list of buckets along with some metadata such as the bucket name, creation date, owner, and other details.
