Documentation: https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/json_api/v1/objects/list

CURL Command

curl -X GET https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/chilkat-bucket/o?project=MY_CLOUD_STORAGE_PROJECT \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer CLOUD_STORAGE_TOKEN"

Python Example

import sys

rest = chilkat.CkRest()

#  URL: https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/chilkat-bucket/o?project=MY_CLOUD_STORAGE_PROJECT

success = rest.Connect("www.googleapis.com",port,bTls,bAutoReconnect)
if (success != True):
    print("ConnectFailReason: " + str(rest.get_ConnectFailReason()))
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

rest.AddHeader("Authorization","Bearer CLOUD_STORAGE_TOKEN")

sbResponseBody = chilkat.CkStringBuilder()
success = rest.FullRequestNoBodySb("GET","/storage/v1/b/chilkat-bucket/o?project=MY_CLOUD_STORAGE_PROJECT",sbResponseBody)
if (success != True):
    print(rest.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

respStatusCode = rest.get_ResponseStatusCode()
if (respStatusCode >= 400):
    print("Response Status Code = " + str(respStatusCode))
    print("Response Header:")
    print(rest.responseHeader())
    print("Response Body:")
    print(sbResponseBody.getAsString())
    sys.exit()

jsonResponse = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
jsonResponse.LoadSb(sbResponseBody)
