AWS Resource Explorer

Returns a list of resources and their details that match the specified criteria. This query must use a view. If you don’t explicitly specify a view, then Resource Explorer uses the default view for the Amazon Web Services Region in which you call this operation.

Request Syntax

client.list_resources(
    Filters={
        'FilterString': 'string'
    },
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string',
    ViewArn='string'
)

type Filters

dict

param Filters

A search filter defines which resources can be part of a search query result set.

• FilterString (string) -- [REQUIRED]

  The string that contains the search keywords, prefixes, and operators to control the results that can be returned by a Search operation. For more details, see Search query syntax.

type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

The maximum 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 appropriate to the operation. If additional items exist beyond those included in the current response, 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

An API operation can 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.

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

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. The pagination tokens expire after 24 hours.

type ViewArn

string

param ViewArn

Specifies the Amazon resource name (ARN) of the view to use for the query. If you don't specify a value for this parameter, then the operation automatically uses the default view for the Amazon Web Services Region in which you called this operation. If the Region either doesn't have a default view or if you don't have permission to use the default view, then the operation fails with a 401 Unauthorized exception.
