The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the account.
For more information about ARNs in Organizations, see ARN Formats Supported by Organizations in the Amazon Web Services Service Authorization Reference.
Email (string) --
The email address associated with the Amazon Web Services account.
The regex pattern for this parameter is a string of characters that represents a standard internet email address.
Name (string) --
The friendly name of the account.
The regex pattern that is used to validate this parameter is a string of any of the characters in the ASCII character range.
Status (string) --
The status of the account in the organization.
State (string) --
Each state represents a specific phase in the account lifecycle. Use this information to manage account access, automate workflows, or trigger actions based on account state changes.
For more information about account states and their implications, see Monitor the state of your Amazon Web Services accounts in the Organizations User Guide.
JoinedMethod (string) --

{'Accounts': {'State': 'PENDING_ACTIVATION | ACTIVE | SUSPENDED | '
'PENDING_CLOSURE | CLOSED'}}

Request Syntax
client.list_accounts(
NextToken='string',
MaxResults=123
)
string
The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.
integer
The total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that Organizations might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.
