Boto get s3 bucket location

Is it possible to get bucket location in s3 using boto API ?

I'm talking about this function from AWS API -

Thanks in advance.

For boto3, you can use the get_bucket_location method, which will return to you one of the following (as of November 2019):

'EU'|'eu-west-1'|'us-west-1'|'us-west-2'|'ap-south-1'|'ap-southeast-1'|'ap-southeast-2'|'ap-northeast-1'|'sa-east-1'|'cn-north-1'|'eu-central-1'

A sample method would be something like this:

def get_location(client, bucket_name): response = client.get_bucket_location(Bucket=bucket_name) return response['LocationConstraint'] 

See the documentation for more info.

You can call the get_location() method:

conn = boto.connect_s3() bucket = conn.get_bucket(bucket_name) bucket_location = bucket.get_location() if bucket_location: conn = boto.s3.connect_to_region(bucket_location) bucket = conn.get_bucket(bucket_name)
