AWS Resource Groups Tagging API

2019/11/26 - AWS Resource Groups Tagging API - 3 new 1 updated api methods

Changes  You can use tag policies to help standardize on tags across your organization's resources.

StartReportCreation (new) Link ¶

Generates a report that lists all tagged resources in accounts across your organization and tells whether each resource is compliant with the effective tag policy. Compliance data is refreshed daily.

The generated report is saved to the following location:

s3://example-bucket/AwsTagPolicies/o-exampleorgid/YYYY-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ/report.csv

You can call this operation only from the organization's master account and from the us-east-1 Region.

Returns all the tagged or previously tagged resources that are located in the specified Region for the AWS account.

Depending on what information you want returned, you can also specify the following:

  • Filters that specify what tags and resource types you want returned. The response includes all tags that are associated with the requested resources.

  • Information about compliance with the account's effective tag policy. For more information on tag policies, see Tag Policies in the AWS Organizations User Guide.

Note

You can check the PaginationToken response parameter to determine if a query is complete. Queries occasionally return fewer results on a page than allowed. The PaginationToken response parameter value is null only when there are no more results to display.

type PaginationToken

string

param PaginationToken

A string that indicates that additional data is available. Leave this value empty for your initial request. If the response includes a PaginationToken , use that string for this value to request an additional page of data.

type TagFilters

list

param TagFilters

A list of TagFilters (keys and values). Each TagFilter specified must contain a key with values as optional. A request can include up to 50 keys, and each key can include up to 20 values.

Note the following when deciding how to use TagFilters:

  • If you do specify a TagFilter, the response returns only those resources that are currently associated with the specified tag.

  • If you don't specify a TagFilter, the response includes all resources that were ever associated with tags. Resources that currently don't have associated tags are shown with an empty tag set, like this: "Tags": [] .

  • If you specify more than one filter in a single request, the response returns only those resources that satisfy all specified filters.

  • If you specify a filter that contains more than one value for a key, the response returns resources that match any of the specified values for that key.

  • If you don't specify any values for a key, the response returns resources that are tagged with that key irrespective of the value. For example, for filters: filter1 = {key1, {value1}}, filter2 = {key2, {value2,value3,value4}} , filter3 = {key3}:

    • GetResources( {filter1} ) returns resources tagged with key1=value1

    • GetResources( {filter2} ) returns resources tagged with key2=value2 or key2=value3 or key2=value4

    • GetResources( {filter3} ) returns resources tagged with any tag containing key3 as its tag key, irrespective of its value

    • GetResources( {filter1,filter2,filter3} ) returns resources tagged with ( key1=value1) and ( key2=value2 or key2=value3 or key2=value4) and (key3, irrespective of the value)

  • (dict) --

    A list of tags (keys and values) that are used to specify the associated resources.

    • Key (string) --

      One part of a key-value pair that makes up a tag. A key is a general label that acts like a category for more specific tag values.

    • Values (list) --

      The optional part of a key-value pair that make up a tag. A value acts as a descriptor within a tag category (key).

      • (string) --

type ResourcesPerPage

integer

param ResourcesPerPage

A limit that restricts the number of resources returned by GetResources in paginated output. You can set ResourcesPerPage to a minimum of 1 item and the maximum of 100 items.

type TagsPerPage

integer

param TagsPerPage

AWS recommends using ResourcesPerPage instead of this parameter.

A limit that restricts the number of tags (key and value pairs) returned by GetResources in paginated output. A resource with no tags is counted as having one tag (one key and value pair).

GetResources does not split a resource and its associated tags across pages. If the specified TagsPerPage would cause such a break, a PaginationToken is returned in place of the affected resource and its tags. Use that token in another request to get the remaining data. For example, if you specify a TagsPerPage of 100 and the account has 22 resources with 10 tags each (meaning that each resource has 10 key and value pairs), the output will consist of three pages. The first page displays the first 10 resources, each with its 10 tags. The second page displays the next 10 resources, each with its 10 tags. The third page displays the remaining 2 resources, each with its 10 tags.

You can set TagsPerPage to a minimum of 100 items and the maximum of 500 items.

type ResourceTypeFilters

list

param ResourceTypeFilters

The constraints on the resources that you want returned. The format of each resource type is service[:resourceType] . For example, specifying a resource type of ec2 returns all Amazon EC2 resources (which includes EC2 instances). Specifying a resource type of ec2:instance returns only EC2 instances.

The string for each service name and resource type is the same as that embedded in a resource's Amazon Resource Name (ARN). Consult the AWS General Reference for the following:

You can specify multiple resource types by using an array. The array can include up to 100 items. Note that the length constraint requirement applies to each resource type filter.

  • (string) --

type IncludeComplianceDetails

boolean

param IncludeComplianceDetails

Specifies whether to include details regarding the compliance with the effective tag policy. Set this to true to determine whether resources are compliant with the tag policy and to get details.

type ExcludeCompliantResources

boolean

param ExcludeCompliantResources

Specifies whether to exclude resources that are compliant with the tag policy. Set this to true if you are interested in retrieving information on noncompliant resources only.

You can use this parameter only if the IncludeComplianceDetails parameter is also set to true .
