How to use Boto3 to paginate through object versions of a S3 bucket present in AWS Glue

Problem Statement: Use boto3 library in Python to paginate through object versions of a S3 bucket from AWS Glue Data Catalog that is created in your account

Approach/Algorithm to solve this problem

  • Step 1: Import boto3 and botocore exceptions to handle exceptions.

  • Step 2: max_items, page_size and starting_token are the optional parameters for this function, while bucket_name is required parameters.

    • max_items denote the total number of records to return. If the number of available records > max_items then a NextToken will be provided in the response to resume pagination.

    • page_size denotes the size of each page.

    • starting_token helps to paginate, and it uses NextKeyMarker from a previous response.

  • Step 3: Create an AWS session using boto3 lib. Make sure region_name is mentioned in the default profile. If it is not mentioned, then explicitly pass the region_name while creating the session.

  • Step 4: Create an AWS client for S3.

  • Step 5: Create a paginator object that contains details of object versions of a S3 bucket using list_object_versions.

  • Step 5: Call the paginate function and pass the max_items, page_size and starting_token as PaginationConfig parameter, while bucket_name as Bucket parameter.

  • Step 6: It returns the number of records based on max_size and page_size.

  • Step 7: Handle the generic exception if something went wrong while paginating.

Example Code

Use the following code to paginate through object versions of a S3 bucket created in user account −

import boto3
from botocore.exceptions import ClientError

def paginate_through_object_version_s3_bucket(bucket_name, max_items=None:int,page_size=None:int, starting_token=None:string):
   session = boto3.session.Session()
   s3_client = session.client('s3')
   try:
   paginator = s3_client.get_paginator('list_object_versions')
      response = paginator.paginate(Bucket=bucket_name, PaginationConfig={
         'MaxItems':max_items,
         'PageSize':page_size,
         'StartingToken':starting_token}
       )
   return response
   except ClientError as e:
      raise Exception("boto3 client error in paginate_through_object_version_s3_bucket: " + e.__str__())
   except Exception as e:
      raise Exception("Unexpected error in paginate_through_object_version_s3_bucket: " + e.__str__())

#1st Run
a = paginate_through_object_version_s3_bucket('s3-test-bucket',2,5)
print(*a)
#2nd Run
for items in a:
next_token = (items['NextKeyMarker'])
b = paginate_through_object_version_s3_bucket('s3-test-bucket',2,5,next_token)
print(*b)
