create-topic

Description

Creates a topic to which notifications can be published. Users can create at most 100,000 standard topics (at most 1,000 FIFO topics). For more information, see Creating an Amazon SNS topic in the Amazon SNS Developer Guide . This action is idempotent, so if the requester already owns a topic with the specified name, that topic’s ARN is returned without creating a new topic.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  create-topic
--name <value>
[--attributes <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--name (string)

The name of the topic you want to create.

Constraints: Topic names must be made up of only uppercase and lowercase ASCII letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens, and must be between 1 and 256 characters long.

For a FIFO (first-in-first-out) topic, the name must end with the .fifo suffix.

--attributes (map)

A map of attributes with their corresponding values.

The following lists the names, descriptions, and values of the special request parameters that the CreateTopic action uses:

• DeliveryPolicy – The policy that defines how Amazon SNS retries failed deliveries to HTTP/S endpoints.

• DisplayName – The display name to use for a topic with SMS subscriptions.

• FifoTopic – Set to true to create a FIFO topic.

• Policy – The policy that defines who can access your topic. By default, only the topic owner can publish or subscribe to the topic.

The following attribute applies only to server-side encryption :

• KmsMasterKeyId – The ID of an Amazon Web Services managed customer master key (CMK) for Amazon SNS or a custom CMK. For more information, see Key Terms . For more examples, see KeyId in the Key Management Service API Reference .

The following attributes apply only to FIFO topics :

• FifoTopic – When this is set to true , a FIFO topic is created.

• ContentBasedDeduplication – Enables content-based deduplication for FIFO topics.

  • By default, ContentBasedDeduplication is set to false . If you create a FIFO topic and this attribute is false , you must specify a value for the MessageDeduplicationId parameter for the Publish action.

  • When you set ContentBasedDeduplication to true , Amazon SNS uses a SHA-256 hash to generate the MessageDeduplicationId using the body of the message (but not the attributes of the message). (Optional) To override the generated value, you can specify a value for the MessageDeduplicationId parameter for the Publish action.

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--tags (list)

The list of tags to add to a new topic.

Note

To be able to tag a topic on creation, you must have the sns:CreateTopic and sns:TagResource permissions.

(structure)

The list of tags to be added to the specified topic.

Key -> (string)

The required key portion of the tag.

Value -> (string)

The optional value portion of the tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
