- DESCRIPTION
- List Cloud Storage objects.
Bucket URLs like
gs://bucketmatch all the objects inside a bucket,butgs://b*fails because it matches a list of buckets. - EXAMPLES
- List all objects in bucket
withincurrent directory level:my-bucketgcloudstorageobjectslistgs://my-bucketList all objects across nested directories using wildcards(https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/wildcards):
gcloudstorageobjectslistgs://my-bucket/**List all objects in bucket beginning with ``o´´, including objectsacross nested directories:
gcloudstorageobjectslistgs://my-bucket/**/o*List all objects within current directory of bucket with JSON formatting, onlyreturning the value of the
metadatafield:namegcloudstorageobjectslistgs://my-bucket--format="json(name)" - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
URLS[URLS…]- Specifies URL of objects to list.
- FLAGS
--additional-headers=HEADER=VALUE- Includes arbitrary headers in storage API calls. Accepts a comma separated listof key=value pairs, e.g.
header1=value1,header2=value2. Overridesthe defaultstorage/additional_headersproperty value for thiscommand invocation. --exhaustive- For features like soft delete, the API may return an empty list. If present,continue querying. This may incur costs from repeated LIST calls and may notreturn any additional objects.
--fetch-encrypted-object-hashes- API requests to the LIST endpoint do not fetch the hashes for encrypted objectsby default. If this flag is set, a GET request is sent for each encrypted objectin order to fetch hashes. This can significantly increase the cost of thecommand.
--next-page-token=NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN- Page token for resuming LIST calls.
--raw- Shows metadata in the format returned by the API instead of standardizing it.
--soft-deleted- Displays soft-deleted resources only. For objects, it will exclude live andnoncurrent ones.
--stat- Emulates gsutil stat-style behavior. Does not show past object versions andchanges output format.
- ENCRYPTION FLAGS
--decryption-keys=[DECRYPTION_KEY,…]- A comma-separated list of customer-supplied encryption keys (RFC 4648 section 4base64-encoded AES256 strings) that will be used to decrypt Cloud Storageobjects. Data encrypted with a customer-managed encryption key (CMEK) isdecrypted automatically, so CMEKs do not need to be listed here.
- LIST COMMAND FLAGS
--filter=EXPRESSION- Apply a Boolean filter
EXPRESSIONto each resource itemto be listed. If the expression evaluatesTrue, then that item islisted. For more details and examples of filter expressions, run $gcloud topic filters. This flaginteracts with other flags that are applied in this order:--flatten,--sort-by,--filter,--limit. --limit=LIMIT- Maximum number of resources to list. The default is
unlimited. Thisflag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:--flatten,--sort-by,--filter,--limit. --page-size=PAGE_SIZE- Some services group resource list output into pages. This flag specifies themaximum number of resources per page. The default is determined by the serviceif it supports paging, otherwise it is
unlimited(no paging).Paging may be applied before or after--filterand--limitdepending on the service. --sort-by=[FIELD,…]- Comma-separated list of resource field key names to sort by. The default orderis ascending. Prefix a field with ``~´´ for descending order on thatfield. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:
--flatten,--sort-by,--filter,--limit. --uri- Print a list of resource URIs instead of the default output, and change thecommand output to a list of URIs. If this flag is used with
--format, the formatting is applied on this URI list. To displayURIs alongside other keys instead, use theuri()transform.
- GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
- These flags are available to all commands:
--access-token-file,--account,--billing-project,--configuration,--flags-file,--flatten,--format,--help,--impersonate-service-account,--log-http,--project,--quiet,--trace-token,--user-output-enabled,--verbosity.Run
$gcloud helpfor details. - NOTES
- This variant is also available:
