list_layers

list_layers(**kwargs)

Lists Lambda layers and shows information about the latest version of each. Specify a runtime identifier to list only layers that indicate that they're compatible with that runtime. Specify a compatible architecture to include only layers that are compatible with that instruction set architecture.

Examples

The following example returns information about layers that are compatible with the Python 3.7 runtime.

response = client.list_layers(
    CompatibleRuntime='python3.7',
)

print(response)
