GET Service(List Buckets)

Last updated: 2026-03-12 10:26:43

Feature Overview

This API is used to query the list of all buckets under a requester's account or in a specific region.
Note:
If you create a bucket and immediately call the GET Service API, the response may not include the newly created bucket due to the eventual consistency characteristics of this API.


Requests

Sample Request

Sample 1
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: service.cos.myqcloud.com
Date: GMT Date
Authorization: Auth String
Sample 2
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com
Date: GMT Date
Authorization: Auth String
Note:
Authorization: Auth String (For more information, see Request Signature.)
Host: To query the complete bucket list, specify service.cos.myqcloud.com. To query the bucket list in a specific region, specify cos.<Region>.myqcloud.com, where <Region> is the available region for COS. Refer to the Regions and Access Domain Names documentation for more information.

Request Parameters

GetService supports filtering buckets by bucket tag, region, and creation time through request parameters. To filter buckets by tag, only one tag can be passed in. If a bucket has multiple tags, as long as any of them is hit, the bucket will be returned.
