describe_domains

describe_domains(**kwargs)

Gets information about the search domains owned by this account. Can be limited to specific domains. Shows all domains by default. To get the number of searchable documents in a domain, use the console or submit a matchall request to your domain's search endpoint: q=matchall&q.parser=structured&size=0 . For more information, see Getting Information about a Search Domain in the Amazon CloudSearch Developer Guide .

      • (dict) --

        The current status of the search domain.

        • DomainId (string) --

          An internally generated unique identifier for a domain.

        • DomainName (string) --
