List objects in a bucket

GET/projects/{project_id}/branches/{branch_id}/buckets/{bucket_name}/objectsList objects in a bucket

Lists objects visible in the named bucket on the specified branch, including those inherited from ancestor branches. Listing is served by the user's session (no customer S3 credentials required).

When delimiter is supplied (typically /), keys are collapsed into common prefixes (folders) so callers can render a folder-style browser; keys that do not contain the delimiter after prefix are returned as objects.

Note: This endpoint is currently in Beta.

defaultGeneral Error. The request may or may not be safe to retry, depending on the HTTP method, response status code, and whether a response was received. - If no response is returned from the API, a network error or timeout likely occurred. - In some cases, the request may have reached the server and been successfully processed, but the response failed to reach the client. As a result, retrying non-idempotent requests can lead to unintended results. The following HTTP methods are considered non-idempotent: `POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `PUT`. Retrying these methods is generally **not safe**. The following methods are considered idempotent: `GET`, `HEAD`, and `OPTIONS`. Retrying these methods is **safe** in the event of a network error or timeout. Any request that returns a `503 Service Unavailable` response is always safe to retry. Any request that returns a `423 Locked` response is safe to retry. `423 Locked` indicates that the resource is temporarily locked, for example, due to another operation in progress. application/json
