Overview
This node operation lists buckets from a MinIO storage service. It is useful for retrieving and displaying all available buckets in a MinIO instance, which can then be used for further operations such as file uploads, downloads, or bucket management. For example, a user can list all buckets to select one for storing files or to audit existing storage containers.
Use Case Examples
- List all buckets in a MinIO instance to display their names and metadata.
- Retrieve bucket list to select a target bucket for file upload operations.
Properties

Output
JSON
buckets- An array of bucket objects retrieved from the MinIO service, each representing a storage bucket with its details.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to a MinIO storage service with appropriate credentials for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the MinIO credentials are correctly configured and have permissions to list buckets.
- If the bucket list is empty, verify that the MinIO instance contains buckets and the connection is successful.
- Common errors include authentication failures or network connectivity issues to the MinIO server. Verify endpoint URL and credentials.
