Is there any way to get s3 uri from aws web console?

I want to download a directory from my s3.
When I need a file, the s3 management console (aws web console) allows me to download it, but when a directory, I have to use aws-cli, like:

$ aws s3 cp s3://mybucket/mydirectory/ . --recursive

My question is: Is there any way to get the s3 uri (s3://mybucket/mydirectory/) from s3 management console?
It's URL is available, but it is slightly different from s3 URI required by aws-cli. I could not find any menu to get the uri.

Thank you in advance!

You may fail to get s3uri if you are created a new bucket. You can get s3uri after creating a new folder in your bucket >> select check box to the newly created folder >> then copy the s3uri that appears at the top.

It looks like this feature is now available in the AWS Web Console.

It is accessible in two ways:

  • Selecting the checkbox next to the file and clicking on "Copy S3 URI" button.

    enter image description here

  • Clicking on the file, and clicking on the "Copy S3 URI" button on the top right.

You can get the value from the console by selecting the file in the console. Choose Copy path on the Overview tab to copy the S3:// link to the object.

It is possible to get the S3-URI for a proper key/file in the console, by selecting the key and clicking on the Copy path button, this will place the s3-URI for the file on the clipboard.

However, directories are not keys as such but just key prefixes, so this will not work for them.

To convert an S3 URL displayed in the console such as https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/my-bucket-name/filename to an S3 URI, remove the https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/ portion and replace it with s3://, like so:

s3://my-bucket-name/filename

Because it seems there was no such way, I have created one:

pip install aws-s3-url2uri

And command aws_s3_url2uri will be available after installation.

This command internally converts the web console URLs to S3 URIs, so works with URLs and URIs and local paths:

aws_s3_url2uri ls "https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home?region=<regionname>#&bucket=mybucket&prefix=mydir/mydir2/"

calls

aws s3 ls s3://mybucket/mydir/mydir2/

internally.

No, it is not displayed in the console. However, it is simply:

s3://<bucket-name>/<key>

Directories are actually part of the key. For example, foo.jpg stored in an images directory will actually have a key (filename) of images/foo.jpg.
