A low-level client representing Amazon Recycle Bin
This is the Recycle Bin API Reference . This documentation provides descriptions and syntax for each of the actions and data types in Recycle Bin.
Recycle Bin is a resource recovery feature that enables you to restore accidentally deleted snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs. When using Recycle Bin, if your resources are deleted, they are retained in the Recycle Bin for a time period that you specify.
You can restore a resource from the Recycle Bin at any time before its retention period expires. After you restore a resource from the Recycle Bin, the resource is removed from the Recycle Bin, and you can then use it in the same way you use any other resource of that type in your account. If the retention period expires and the resource is not restored, the resource is permanently deleted from the Recycle Bin and is no longer available for recovery. For more information about Recycle Bin, see Recycle Bin in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .
import boto3
client = boto3.client('rbin')
These are the available methods:
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Creates a Recycle Bin retention rule. For more information, see Create Recycle Bin retention rules in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide .

[REQUIRED]
Information about the retention period for which the retention rule is to retain resources.
The period value for which the retention rule is to retain resources. The period is measured using the unit specified for RetentionPeriodUnit .
The unit of time in which the retention period is measured. Currently, only DAYS is supported.
Information about the tags to assign to the retention rule.
Information about the tags to assign to the retention rule.
The tag key.
The tag value.
[REQUIRED]
The resource type to be retained by the retention rule. Currently, only Amazon EBS snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs are supported. To retain snapshots, specify EBS_SNAPSHOT . To retain EBS-backed AMIs, specify EC2_IMAGE .
Specifies the resource tags to use to identify resources that are to be retained by a tag-level retention rule. For tag-level retention rules, only deleted resources, of the specified resource type, that have one or more of the specified tag key and value pairs are retained. If a resource is deleted, but it does not have any of the specified tag key and value pairs, it is immediately deleted without being retained by the retention rule.
You can add the same tag key and value pair to a maximum or five retention rules.
To create a Region-level retention rule, omit this parameter. A Region-level retention rule does not have any resource tags specified. It retains all deleted resources of the specified resource type in the Region in which the rule is created, even if the resources are not tagged.
