Gets summary information about live streams in your account, in the Amazon Web Services region where the API request is processed.
See also: AWS API Documentation
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
list-streams
is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate
argument.
When using --output text
and the --query
argument on a paginated response, the --query
argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: streams
list-streams
[--filter-by <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--starting-token <value>]
[--page-size <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--filter-by
(structure)
Filters the stream list to match the specified criterion.
health -> (string)
The stream’s health.
Shorthand Syntax:
health=string
JSON Syntax:
{
"health": "HEALTHY"|"STARVING"|"UNKNOWN"
}
--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 theNextToken
value in thestarting-token
argument of a subsequent command. Do not use theNextToken
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. 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.
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 get a list of live streams and their state
The following list-streams
example lists all live streams for your AWS account.
aws ivs list-streams
Output:
{
"streams": [
{
"channelArn": "arn:aws:ivs:us-west-2:123456789012:channel/abcdABCDefgh",
"state": "LIVE",
"health": "HEALTHY",
"streamId": "st-ABCDEfghij01234KLMN5678",
"viewerCount": 1
}
]
}
For more information, see Create a Channel in the Amazon Interactive Video Service User Guide.
nextToken -> (string)
If there are more streams than
maxResults
, usenextToken
in the request to get the next set.
streams -> (list)
List of streams.
(structure)
Summary information about a stream.
channelArn -> (string)
Channel ARN for the stream.
health -> (string)
The stream’s health.
startTime -> (timestamp)
Time of the stream’s start. This is an ISO 8601 timestamp; note that this is returned as a string .
state -> (string)
The stream’s state.
streamId -> (string)
Unique identifier for a live or previously live stream in the specified channel.
viewerCount -> (long)
A count of concurrent views of the stream. Typically, a new view appears in
viewerCount
within 15 seconds of when video playback starts and a view is removed fromviewerCount
within 1 minute of when video playback ends. A value of -1 indicates that the request timed out; in this case, retry.
