Fetch list of first level directories in AWS S3 bucket

In my S3 buckets there are many directories at first level. Each containing data of it's own.

- Bucket
   -- dir_1
       -- file1
        -- file2
   -- dir_2
       -- somefile

I want to fetch total size (including all the subobjects under it) of each first level object (dir_1, dir_2) in the bucket. I tried both ListObjects and ListObjectsV2 with different Prefix parameter values but either it's giving no data or all the data including object within objects

Sadly, there is no API call that can give you size of your folders/prefixes.

Normally for that you have too iterate over all the objects yourself, get their data and calculate the size.

Since this is a common request, there are many recipes already made for that. For example, here or here.

The alternative is to use Amazon S3 inventory. The inventory would produce a csv file daily with the metadata of your objects. Then you could parse it to calculate the sizes based on the prefixes.
