Page through large lists of containers or objects
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
If you have a large number of containers or objects, you can use the
|
|
``marker``, ``limit``, and ``end_marker`` parameters to control
|
|
how many items are returned in a list and where the list starts or ends.
|
|
|
|
* marker
|
|
When you request a list of containers or objects, Object Storage
|
|
returns a maximum of 10,000 names for each request. To get
|
|
subsequent names, you must make another request with the
|
|
``marker`` parameter. Set the ``marker`` parameter to the name of
|
|
the last item returned in the previous list. You must URL-encode the
|
|
``marker`` value before you send the HTTP request. Object Storage
|
|
returns a maximum of 10,000 names starting after the last item
|
|
returned.
|
|
|
|
* limit
|
|
To return fewer than 10,000 names, use the ``limit`` parameter. If
|
|
the number of names returned equals the specified ``limit`` (or
|
|
10,000 if you omit the ``limit`` parameter), you can assume there
|
|
are more names to list. If the number of names in the list is
|
|
exactly divisible by the ``limit`` value, the last request has no
|
|
content.
|
|
|
|
* end_marker
|
|
Limits the result set to names that are less than the
|
|
``end_marker`` parameter value. You must URL-encode the
|
|
``end_marker`` value before you send the HTTP request.
|
|
|
|
To page through a large list of containers
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Assume the following list of container names:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
apples
|
|
bananas
|
|
kiwis
|
|
oranges
|
|
pears
|
|
|
|
#. Use a ``limit`` of two:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# curl -i $publicURL/?limit=2 -X GET -H "X-Auth-Token: $token"
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
apples
|
|
bananas
|
|
|
|
Because two container names are returned, there are more names to
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
#. Make another request with a ``marker`` parameter set to the name of
|
|
the last item returned:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# curl -i $publicURL/?limit=2&marker=bananas -X GET -H \
|
|
“X-Auth-Token: $token"
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
kiwis
|
|
oranges
|
|
|
|
Again, two items are returned, and there might be more.
|
|
|
|
#. Make another request with a ``marker`` of the last item returned:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# curl -i $publicURL/?limit=2&marker=oranges -X GET -H \"
|
|
X-Auth-Token: $token"
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
pears
|
|
|
|
You receive a one-item response, which is fewer than the ``limit``
|
|
number of names. This indicates that this is the end of the list.
|
|
|
|
#. Use the ``end_marker`` parameter to limit the result set to object
|
|
names that are less than the ``end_marker`` parameter value:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# curl -i $publicURL/?end_marker=oranges -X GET -H \"
|
|
X-Auth-Token: $token"
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
apples
|
|
bananas
|
|
kiwis
|
|
|
|
You receive a result set of all container names before the
|
|
``end-marker`` value.
