# S3 API Compatibility LLMS index: [llms.txt](/llms.txt) --- This page documents S3 APIs supported by MinIO Object Storage. For reference documentation on any given API, see the corresponding documentation for Amazon S3. > [!WARNING] > **Important** > > MinIO strongly recommends using an [S3-Compatible SDK](/developers/minio-drivers/#minio-drivers) for performing object storage operations. ## Object APIs {#object-apis} - [CopyObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_CopyObject.html) - [DeleteObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_DeleteObject.html) - [DeleteObjects](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_DeleteObjects.html) - Conditional delete is not supported: `DeleteObject` ignores the HTTP `If-Match` header and `DeleteObjects` ignores each `` element; both delete unconditionally ([#10](https://github.com/pgsty/silo/issues/10)). - [DeleteObjectTagging](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_DeleteObjectTagging.html) - [GetObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObject.html) - [GetObjectAttributes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObjectAttributes.html) - [GetObjectTagging](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObjectTagging.html) - [HeadObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_HeadObject.html) - [ListObjects](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_ListObjects.html) - [ListObjectsV2](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_ListObjectsV2.html) - [ListObjectVersions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_ListObjectVersions.html) - [PutObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObject.html) - [PutObjectTagging](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObjectTagging.html) - [RestoreObject](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_RestoreObject.html) - [SelectObjectContent](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_SelectObjectContent.html) ### Object Locking {#object-locking} - [GetObjectRetention](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObjectRetention.html) - [PutObjectRetention](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObjectRetention.html) - [GetObjectLegalHold](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObjectLegalHold.html) - [PutObjectLegalHold](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObjectLegalHold.html) - [GetObjectLockConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObjectLockConfiguration.html) - [PutObjectLockConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_PutObjectLockConfiguration.html) ### Unsupported API Object Endpoints {#unsupported-api-object-endpoints} ```text GetObjectAcl PutObjectAcl ``` ### Multipart Uploads {#multipart-uploads} - [AbortMultipartUpload](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_AbortMultipartUpload.html) - [CompleteMultipartUpload](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_CompleteMultipartUpload.html) - [CreateMultipartUpload](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_CreateMultipartUpload.html) - [ListMultipartUploads](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_ListMultipartUploads.html) - [ListParts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_ListParts.html) - [UploadPart](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_UploadPart.html) - [UploadPartCopy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_UploadPartCopy.html) #### Differences from S3 APIs for Multipart Uploads {#differences-from-s3-apis-for-multipart-uploads} - Published Server 20260903 treats a non-empty `ListMultipartUploads` prefix as an exact object name. An empty prefix uses node-local volatile state without complete pagination, marker or delimiter semantics. - [PR #198](https://github.com/pgsty/silo/pull/198) adds durable discovery, global pagination and continuation after a native marker upload is deleted. The pre-release compatibility follow-up defaults to `legacy`, retaining the old limitations; strict mode requires an explicit `MINIO_API_MULTIPART_LISTING=strict` environment setting. Before enabling strict mode, upgrade all writers, drain legacy uploads and validate both the read-only preflight and scan capacity. Strict mode returns 503 for insufficient coverage, legacy records or resource limits. An ordinary upgrade requires neither a mode switch nor forced upload drain. See the [implementation and upgrade contract](/blog/design/list-multipart-uploads/#implementation) for ordering, scan capacity and the cancellation boundary for delayed creation writes. This is not a release or production-acceptance claim. - The `AbortIncompleteMultipartUpload` lifecycle action is not supported with `PutBucketLifecycle`. ## Bucket APIs {#bucket-apis} - [CreateBucket](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_CreateBucket.html) -

For calls to `BucketACL` or `ObjectACL` operations, use [Policies](/administration/identity-access-management/policy-based-access-control/#minio-policy). - `BucketCORS` operations are supported since `RELEASE.2026-09-03T13-18-01Z`. A bucket with its own CORS configuration is served only by that configuration; buckets without one use the server-wide `MINIO_API_CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN` policy, which allows every origin by default. - For calls to `BucketWebsite` operations, use `caddy` or `nginx`. - For calls to `BucketAnalytics`, `BucketMetrics`, or `BucketLogging` operations, use [Bucket Notifications](/administration/monitoring/bucket-notifications/#minio-bucket-notifications).
