create_geo_match_set

create_geo_match_set(**kwargs)

Note

This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

For the latest version of AWS WAF , use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates an GeoMatchSet, which you use to specify which web requests you want to allow or block based on the country that the requests originate from. For example, if you're receiving a lot of requests from one or more countries and you want to block the requests, you can create an GeoMatchSet that contains those countries and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests.

To create and configure a GeoMatchSet , perform the following steps:

• Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateGeoMatchSet request.
• Submit a CreateGeoMatchSet request.
• Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateGeoMatchSet request.
• Submit an UpdateGeoMatchSetSet request to specify the countries that you want AWS WAF to watch for.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

Response Structure

• (dict) --

  • GeoMatchSet (dict) --

    The GeoMatchSet returned in the CreateGeoMatchSet response. The GeoMatchSet contains no GeoMatchConstraints .

    • GeoMatchSetId (string) --

      The GeoMatchSetId for an GeoMatchSet . You use GeoMatchSetId to get information about a GeoMatchSet (see GeoMatchSet ), update a GeoMatchSet (see UpdateGeoMatchSet ), insert a GeoMatchSet into a Rule or delete one from a Rule (see UpdateRule ), and delete a GeoMatchSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteGeoMatchSet ).

      GeoMatchSetId is returned by CreateGeoMatchSet and by ListGeoMatchSets.

    • Name (string) --

      A friendly name or description of the GeoMatchSet. You can't change the name of an GeoMatchSet after you create it.

    • GeoMatchConstraints (list) --

      An array of GeoMatchConstraint objects, which contain the country that you want AWS WAF to search for.
