describe-activities¶

Description¶

Describes the user activities in a specified time period.

Synopsis¶

  describe-activities
[--authentication-token <value>]
[--start-time <value>]
[--end-time <value>]
[--organization-id <value>]
[--activity-types <value>]
[--resource-id <value>]
[--user-id <value>]
[--include-indirect-activities | --no-include-indirect-activities]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--authentication-token (string)

Amazon WorkDocs authentication token. Not required when using AWS administrator credentials to access the API.

--start-time (timestamp)

The timestamp that determines the starting time of the activities. The response includes the activities performed after the specified timestamp.

--end-time (timestamp)

The timestamp that determines the end time of the activities. The response includes the activities performed before the specified timestamp.

--organization-id (string)

The ID of the organization. This is a mandatory parameter when using administrative API (SigV4) requests.

--activity-types (string)

Specifies which activity types to include in the response. If this field is left empty, all activity types are returned.

--resource-id (string)

The document or folder ID for which to describe activity types.

--user-id (string)

The ID of the user who performed the action. The response includes activities pertaining to this user. This is an optional parameter and is only applicable for administrative API (SigV4) requests.

--include-indirect-activities | --no-include-indirect-activities (boolean)

Includes indirect activities. An indirect activity results from a direct activity performed on a parent resource. For example, sharing a parent folder (the direct activity) shares all of the subfolders and documents within the parent folder (the indirect activity).

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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 .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a NextToken is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the NextToken value in the starting-token argument of a subsequent command. Do not use the NextToken response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

To get a list of user activities

This example returns a list of the latest user activities for the specified organization, with a limit set for the latest two activities.

Command:

aws workdocs describe-activities --organization-id d-926726012c --limit 2

Output:
