Parameters
  • Filters (list) --

    Filters used to limit the scope of executions that are requested.

      • Key (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        One or more keys to limit the results.

      • Values (list) -- [REQUIRED]

        The values used to limit the execution information associated with the filter's key.

        • (string) --
  • MaxResults (integer) -- The maximum number of items to return for this call. The call also returns a token that you can specify in a subsequent call to get the next set of results.
