How to access an S3 bucket when presented with a uri like this?
s3://example-bucket/path/to/object
pasting this in the browser doesn't work. Is using the AWS cli the only way?

If you access a bucket programmatically, Amazon S3 supports RESTful architecture in which your buckets and objects are resources, each with a resource URI that uniquely identifies the resource. Amazon S3 supports both virtual-hosted–style and path-style URLs to access a bucket.
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. Clicking on the file, and clicking on the "Copy S3 URI" button on the top right.
An S3 bucket can be accessed through its URL. The URL format of a bucket is either of two options: http://s3.amazonaws.com/[bucket_name]/ http://[bucket_name].s3.amazonaws.com/ So, if someone wants to test the openness of a bucket, all they have to do is hit the bucket's URL from a web browser.
In short, if you set x-amz-acl: public-read on a file then you can access it as https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket-name/path-to-file . No need for enabling website hosting, unless you want the pretty hostname and support for index and error documents.
S3 URI is the unique resource identifier within the context of the S3 protocol. They follow this naming convention : S3://bucket-name/key-name For example , if you have a bucket named mybucket and a file called puppy.jpg within it. The S3 URI would appear as - **S3://mybucket/puppy.jpg **
Signed URLs provide secure a way to distribute private content without streaming them through the backend. Learn how they work and how to use them. Let’s say you have an object in an S3 bucket which is set to be private (i.e. no anonymous access).
s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com s3-ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com S3 bucket URL schemes Now, after comprehending S3 endpoints, understanding of S3 bucket URL styles should be a breeze.
For example, if you have a video in your bucket and both the bucket and the object are private, you can share the video with others by generating a presigned URL. Because presigned URLs grant access to your Amazon S3 buckets to whoever has the URL, we recommend that you protect them appropriately.
Citing an answer on this forum, you can use the bucket name and the object name to create a browser link.
http(s)://<bucket>.s3.amazonaws.com/<object>
http(s)://s3.amazonaws.com/<bucket>/<object>
For the example you mentioned,
# s3://example-bucket/path/to/object
http(s)://example-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/object
http(s)://s3.amazonaws.com/example-bucket/path/to/object
However, the required permissions should be made available to the user.
