Is it possible to find all S3 buckets given a prefix

Question

l have multiple buckets with an application prefix and a region suffix e.g. Bucket names

• myapp-us-east-1

• myapp-us-west-1

Is there a way of finding all buckets given a certain prefix? Is there something like:

s3 = boto3.resource('s3') buckets = s3.buckets.filter(Prefix="myapp-")

Answer 1

The high level collection command s3.buckets.filter only work for ways that document under describe_tags Filters. In such case, you MUST tag your bucket (s3.BucketTagging) before you can use the very specific filtering method s3.buckets.filter(Filters=formatted_tag_filter)

Currently, you can do this

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
for bucket in s3.buckets.all(): 
  if bucket.name.startswith("myapp-")" 
     print bucket.name

And following is example code given to filter out KEYS 

# S3 list all keys with the prefix '/photos'
s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
for bucket in s3.buckets.all():
    if bucket.name.startswith("myapp-")" :
        for obj in bucket.objects.filter(Prefix='/photos'):
            print('{0}:{1}'.format(bucket.name, obj.key))

Try this out
