Here are some ways to get total number of objects stored in AWS S3.

Method 1:

  1. Go to your S3 Buckets, select the bucket
  2. In the next screen, check the folder, click "Actions" button, select total size

  3. You will see a pop-up, with Total Object count and total size.

Method 2:

Using S3 API

aws s3api list-objects --bucket BUCKETNAME --output json --query "[length(Contents[])]"

For a specific folder

aws s3api list-objects --bucket BUCKETNAME --prefix "folder/subfolder/" --output json --query "[length(Contents[])]"

Method 3:

Using AWS CLI

aws s3 ls s3://bucketName/path/ --recursive --summarize | grep "Total Objects:"

Total Objects: 4023

Method 4:

Using S3 command

s3cmd ls -r s3://logs.mybucket/subfolder/ > listing.txt

You can use any of the above method, depending on your need.

You can also use  --summarize switch which includes bucket summary information

Here is the example using amazon CLI

aws s3 ls s3://bucketName/path/ --recursive --summarize | grep "Total Objects:"

Total Objects: 7235

Thanks
