get-identity-verification-attributes¶

Description¶

Given a list of identities (email addresses and/or domains), returns the verification status and (for domain identities) the verification token for each identity.

The verification status of an email address is “Pending” until the email address owner clicks the link within the verification email that Amazon SES sent to that address. If the email address owner clicks the link within 24 hours, the verification status of the email address changes to “Success”. If the link is not clicked within 24 hours, the verification status changes to “Failed.” In that case, if you still want to verify the email address, you must restart the verification process from the beginning.

For domain identities, the domain’s verification status is “Pending” as Amazon SES searches for the required TXT record in the DNS settings of the domain. When Amazon SES detects the record, the domain’s verification status changes to “Success”. If Amazon SES is unable to detect the record within 72 hours, the domain’s verification status changes to “Failed.” In that case, if you still want to verify the domain, you must restart the verification process from the beginning.

This operation is throttled at one request per second and can only get verification attributes for up to 100 identities at a time.

Synopsis¶

  get-identity-verification-attributes
--identities <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--identities (list)

A list of identities.

(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. 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 get the Amazon SES verification status for a list of identities

The following example uses the get-identity-verification-attributes command to retrieve the Amazon SES verification status for a list of identities:

aws ses get-identity-verification-attributes --identities "user1@example.com" "user2@example.com"

Output:

{
   "VerificationAttributes": {
       "user1@example.com": {
           "VerificationStatus": "Success"
       },
       "user2@example.com": {
           "VerificationStatus": "Pending"
       }
   }
}

If you call this command with an identity that you have never submitted for verification, that identity won’t appear in the output.

For more information about verified identities, see Verifying Email Addresses and Domains in Amazon SES in the Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide.

Output¶

VerificationAttributes -> (map)

A map of Identities to IdentityVerificationAttributes objects.

key -> (string)

value -> (structure)

Represents the verification attributes of a single identity.

VerificationStatus -> (string)

The verification status of the identity: “Pending”, “Success”, “Failed”, or “TemporaryFailure”.

VerificationToken -> (string)

The verification token for a domain identity. Null for email address identities.
