response = client.list_tasks(
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string',
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'LocationId'|'CreationTime',
            'Values': [

Parameters
  • MaxResults (integer) -- The maximum number of tasks to return.
  • NextToken (string) -- An opaque string that indicates the position at which to begin the next list of tasks.
  • Filters (list) --

    You can use API filters to narrow down the list of resources returned by ListTasks . For example, to retrieve all tasks on a specific source location, you can use ListTasks with filter name LocationId and Operator Equals with the ARN for the location.

    • (dict) --

      You can use API filters to narrow down the list of resources returned by ListTasks . For example, to retrieve all tasks on a source location, you can use ListTasks with filter name LocationId and Operator Equals with the ARN for the location.
