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.
markerparameter. 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 themarkerparameter. Set themarkerparameter to the name of the last item returned in the previous list. You must URL-encode themarkervalue before you send the HTTP request. Object Storage returns a maximum of 10,000 names again.limitparameter. To return fewer than 10,000 names, use thelimitparameter. If the number of names returned equals the specifiedlimit(or 10,000 if you omit thelimitparameter), you can assume there are more names to list. If the number of names in the list is exactly divisible by thelimitvalue, the last request has no content.end_markerparameter. Limits the result set to names that are less than theend_markerparameter value. You must URL-encode theend_markervalue before you send the HTTP request.
For examples of how to page through large lists, see Chapter 3, Object Storage API examples.
