Getting files from amazon s3

Question

Is there a way to get a file list from a bucket in amazon s3?

I'm using Lepozepo/S3 Package

I see this SO, which recommends using boto, but I'm wondering if there is another way to get the files.

Answer 1

Here is how I do it:

Use the very popular AWS SDK package: https://atmospherejs.com/peerlibrary/aws-sdk

Then the code snippet (on server) will look like:

AWS.config.update({
    accessKeyId: '<accessKey>',
    secretAccessKey: '<secretKey>'
});

s3 = new AWS.S3({
    region: 'us-west-2'
});

var params = {
    Bucket: 'bucketName'
};

s3.listObjects(params, Meteor.bindEnvironment(function (err, data) {

  //DO STUFF HERE

}));

Hope that's useful, if you have any problems, just shout!

Answer 2

one of the way you can get the list of files from a bucket in Amazon S3 is using aws-sdk for java. below is an example of that. To get the credetials passing there are advanced methods now, which shown below is not secure.

AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials(accessKeyId,secretAccessKey);
 AmazonS3 s3Client = new AmazonS3Client(credentials);
String bucket = prop.getProperty("bucket");
String directory = prop.getProperty("directory");
ListObjectsRequest lor = new ListObjectsRequest().withBucketName(bucket).withPrefix(directory);

ObjectListing objects = s3Client.listObjects(lor);

Then use the S3ObjectSummary class to iterate the objects and list the files.

Hope it helps!
