## Examples

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are
provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/cloud/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) or by environment variables (`INFLUX_HOST`, `INFLUX_ORG`, and `INFLUX_TOKEN`).
If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:

* `--host`: [InfluxDB host](/influxdb/cloud/reference/urls/)
* `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID
* `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token

* [List all buckets](#list-all-buckets)
* [List a bucket by name](#list-a-bucket-by-name)
* [List a bucket by ID](#list-a-bucket-by-id)

##### List all buckets

```sh
influx bucket list
```

##### List a bucket by name

```sh
influx bucket list --name example-bucket
```

##### List a bucket by ID

```sh
influx bucket list --id 06c86c40a9f36000
```
