--- title: influx bucket list description: The influx bucket list command lists and searches for buckets in InfluxDB. url: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/bucket/list/ estimated_tokens: 1758 product: InfluxDB OSS v2 version: v2 publisher: InfluxData canonical: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/bucket/list/ date: '2025-04-02T15:54:32-06:00' lastmod: '2025-04-02T15:54:32-06:00' --- * influx CLI 2.0.0+ * InfluxDB 2.0.0+ * Updated in CLI v2.3.0 This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS.[InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version. #### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0 Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade**. For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing). The `influx bucket list` command lists and searches for buckets in InfluxDB. ## Usage ``` influx bucket list [flags] ``` #### Command aliases `list`, `ls`, `find` ## Flags |Flag| | Description |Input type|Maps to [?](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/#view-mapped-environment-variables)| |----|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------| |`-c`|`--active-config`| CLI configuration to use for command | string | | | |`--configs-path` | Path to `influx` CLI configurations (default `~/.influxdbv2/configs`) | string | `INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH` | |`-h`| `--help` | Help for the `list` command | | | | |`--hide-headers` | Hide table headers (default `false`) | | `INFLUX_HIDE_HEADERS` | | | `--host` | HTTP address of InfluxDB (default `http://localhost:8086`) | string | `INFLUX_HOST` | | | `--http-debug` | Inspect communication with InfluxDB servers. | string | | |`-i`| `--id` | Bucket ID | string | | | | `--json` | Output data as JSON (default `false`) | | `INFLUX_OUTPUT_JSON` | | | `--limit` |Total number of buckets to fetch from the server, or 0 to return all buckets| string | | |`-n`| `--name` | Bucket name | string | `INFLUX_BUCKET_NAME` | | | `--offset` | Number of buckets to skip over in the list | integer | | |`-o`| `--org` | Organization name (mutually exclusive with `--org-id`) | string | `INFLUX_ORG` | | | `--org-id` | Organization ID (mutually exclusive with `--org`) | string | `INFLUX_ORG_ID` | | | `--page-size` | Number of buckets to fetch per request to the server (default 20) | | | | | `--skip-verify` | Skip TLS certificate verification | | `INFLUX_SKIP_VERIFY` | |`-t`| `--token` | API token | string | `INFLUX_TOKEN` | ## Examples #### Authentication credentials The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/v2/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/v2/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 ``` #### Related * [influx CLI—Provide required authentication credentials](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) * [influx CLI—Flag patterns and conventions](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/#flag-patterns-and-conventions) | Flag | | Description | Input type | Maps to ? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Flag | | Description | Input type | Maps to ? | | -c | --active-config | CLI configuration to use for command | string | | | | --configs-path | Path to influx CLI configurations (default ~/.influxdbv2/configs ) | string | INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH | | -h | --help | Help for the list command | | | | | --hide-headers | Hide table headers (default false ) | | INFLUX_HIDE_HEADERS | | | --host | HTTP address of InfluxDB (default http://localhost:8086 ) | string | INFLUX_HOST | | | --http-debug | Inspect communication with InfluxDB servers. | string | | | -i | --id | Bucket ID | string | | | | --json | Output data as JSON (default false ) | | INFLUX_OUTPUT_JSON | | | --limit | Total number of buckets to fetch from the server, or 0 to return all buckets | string | | | -n | --name | Bucket name | string | INFLUX_BUCKET_NAME | | | --offset | Number of buckets to skip over in the list | integer | | | -o | --org | Organization name (mutually exclusive with --org-id ) | string | INFLUX_ORG | | | --org-id | Organization ID (mutually exclusive with --org ) | string | INFLUX_ORG_ID | | | --page-size | Number of buckets to fetch per request to the server (default 20) | | | | | --skip-verify | Skip TLS certificate verification | | INFLUX_SKIP_VERIFY | | -t | --token | API token | string | INFLUX_TOKEN |
