list_objects_v2's MaxKeys not working

I’ve 16000 records in s3 bucket’s prefixed location. Used below code to listdown all keys in the prefixed location:

s3Contents =  client.list_objects_v2(
        Bucket=config['aws']['src']['bucket'],
        MaxKeys=50000,
        Prefix=config['aws']['src']['dir'])

However, it’s only listing default behaviour of listing 1000 records although specified 50000 as max keys.

Hence, using NextContinuationToken, I’ve to get the full list. Is this expected behaviour or a bug?

@kyleknap Thanks for your response. Could you please mention how to list more than 1000 object using list_objects ?

Use the pagination:

--starting-token (string)
A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.
For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

From: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3api/list-objects-v2.html

Recursively make the call with pagination until there is no Truncation.
