GET Service¶

The GET operation on a service returns a list of all buckets owned by the authenticated sender of the request.

If the requester is an IAM user, the request shows all buckets owned by the parent account. Individual users can list buckets they did not create; however, they cannot see buckets created by different accounts.

Important

Authentication with a valid Access Key ID is required. Anonymous requests cannot list buckets, though users with correct permissions can see buckets in an account that they did not create.
