get-authorization-token

Description

Retrieves an authorization token. An authorization token represents your IAM authentication credentials and can be used to access any Amazon ECR registry that your IAM principal has access to. The authorization token is valid for 12 hours.

The authorizationToken returned is a base64 encoded string that can be decoded and used in a docker login command to authenticate to a registry. The CLI offers an get-login-password command that simplifies the login process. For more information, see Registry authentication in the Amazon Elastic Container Registry User Guide .

Synopsis

  get-authorization-token
[--registry-ids <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--registry-ids (list)

A list of Amazon Web Services account IDs that are associated with the registries for which to get AuthorizationData objects. If you do not specify a registry, the default registry is assumed.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--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.

--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.

Examples

To get an authorization token for your default registry

The following get-authorization-token example command gets an authorization token for your default registry.

aws ecr get-authorization-token

Output:

{
    "authorizationData": [
        {
            "authorizationToken": "QVdTOkN...",
            "expiresAt": 1448875853.241,
            "proxyEndpoint": "https://123456789012.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com"
        }
    ]
}

Output

authorizationData -> (list)

A list of authorization token data objects that correspond to the registryIds values in the request.

expiresAt -> (timestamp)

The Unix time in seconds and milliseconds when the authorization token expires. Authorization tokens are valid for 12 hours.

proxyEndpoint -> (string)

The registry URL to use for this authorization token in a docker login command. The Amazon ECR registry URL format is https://aws_account_id.dkr.ecr.region.amazonaws.com . For example, https://012345678910.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com ..
