get-api¶

Description¶

Gets an Api resource.

Synopsis¶

  get-api
--api-id <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--api-id (string)

The API identifier.

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To retrieve information about an API

The following get-api example displays information about an API.

aws apigatewayv2 get-api \
    --api-id a1b2c3d4

Output:

{
    "ApiEndpoint": "https://a1b2c3d4.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com",
    "ApiId": "a1b2c3d4",
    "ApiKeySelectionExpression": "$request.header.x-api-key",
    "CreatedDate": "2020-03-28T00:32:37Z",
    "Name": "my-api",
    "ProtocolType": "HTTP",
    "RouteSelectionExpression": "$request.method $request.path",
    "Tags": {
        "department": "finance"
    }
}

Output¶

ApiEndpoint -> (string)

The URI of the API, of the form {api-id}.execute-api.{region}.amazonaws.com. The stage name is typically appended to this URI to form a complete path to a deployed API stage.

ApiGatewayManaged -> (boolean)

Specifies whether an API is managed by API Gateway. You can’t update or delete a managed API by using API Gateway. A managed API can be deleted only through the tooling or service that created it.

ApiId -> (string)

The API ID.

ApiKeySelectionExpression -> (string)

An API key selection expression. Supported only for WebSocket APIs. See API Key Selection Expressions .

CorsConfiguration -> (structure)

A CORS configuration. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

AllowCredentials -> (boolean)

Specifies whether credentials are included in the CORS request. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

AllowHeaders -> (list)

Represents a collection of allowed headers. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

(string)

AllowMethods -> (list)

Represents a collection of allowed HTTP methods. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

(string)

A string with a length between [1-64].

AllowOrigins -> (list)

Represents a collection of allowed origins. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

(string)

ExposeHeaders -> (list)

Represents a collection of exposed headers. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

(string)

MaxAge -> (integer)

The number of seconds that the browser should cache preflight request results. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

CreatedDate -> (timestamp)

The timestamp when the API was created.

Description -> (string)

The description of the API.

DisableSchemaValidation -> (boolean)

Avoid validating models when creating a deployment. Supported only for WebSocket APIs.

DisableExecuteApiEndpoint -> (boolean)

Specifies whether clients can invoke your API by using the default execute-api endpoint. By default, clients can invoke your API with the default https://{api_id}.execute-api.{region}.amazonaws.com endpoint. To require that clients use a custom domain name to invoke your API, disable the default endpoint.

ImportInfo -> (list)

The validation information during API import. This may include particular properties of your OpenAPI definition which are ignored during import. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

(string)

Name -> (string)

The name of the API.

ProtocolType -> (string)

The API protocol.

RouteSelectionExpression -> (string)

The route selection expression for the API. For HTTP APIs, the routeSelectionExpression must be ${request.method} ${request.path}. If not provided, this will be the default for HTTP APIs. This property is required for WebSocket APIs.

Tags -> (map)

A collection of tags associated with the API.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

A string with a length between [0-1600].

Version -> (string)

A version identifier for the API.

Warnings -> (list)

The warning messages reported when failonwarnings is turned on during API import.
