Response Structure

• (dict) --
  • ForecastArn (string) --

    The forecast ARN as specified in the request.

  • ForecastName (string) --

    The name of the forecast.

  • ForecastTypes (list) --

    The quantiles at which probabilistic forecasts were generated.

    • (string) --
  • PredictorArn (string) --

    The ARN of the predictor used to generate the forecast.

  • DatasetGroupArn (string) --

    The ARN of the dataset group that provided the data used to train the predictor.

  • EstimatedTimeRemainingInMinutes (integer) --

    The estimated time remaining in minutes for the forecast job to complete.

  • Status (string) --

    The status of the forecast. States include:

    • ACTIVE
    • CREATE_PENDING , CREATE_IN_PROGRESS , CREATE_FAILED
    • CREATE_STOPPING , CREATE_STOPPED
    • DELETE_PENDING , DELETE_IN_PROGRESS , DELETE_FAILED

    Note

    The Status of the forecast must be ACTIVE before you can query or export the forecast.

  • Message (string) --

    If an error occurred, an informational message about the error.

  • CreationTime (datetime) --

    When the forecast creation task was created.

  • LastModificationTime (datetime) --

    The last time the resource was modified. The timestamp depends on the status of the job:

    • CREATE_PENDING - The CreationTime .
    • CREATE_IN_PROGRESS - The current timestamp.
    • CREATE_STOPPING - The current timestamp.
    • CREATE_STOPPED - When the job stopped.
    • ACTIVE or CREATE_FAILED - When the job finished or failed.
  • TimeSeriesSelector (dict) --

    The time series to include in the forecast.

    • TimeSeriesIdentifiers (dict) --

      Details about the import file that contains the time series for which you want to create forecasts.

      • DataSource (dict) --

        The source of your data, an Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that allows Amazon Forecast to access the data and, optionally, an Key Management Service (KMS) key.

        • S3Config (dict) --

          The path to the data stored in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket along with the credentials to access the data.

          • Path (string) --

            The path to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket or file(s) in an Amazon S3 bucket.

          • RoleArn (string) --

            The ARN of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon Forecast can assume to access the Amazon S3 bucket or files. If you provide a value for the KMSKeyArn key, the role must allow access to the key.

            Passing a role across Amazon Web Services accounts is not allowed. If you pass a role that isn't in your account, you get an InvalidInputException error.

          • KMSKeyArn (string) --

            The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an Key Management Service (KMS) key.

      • Schema (dict) --

        Defines the fields of a dataset.

        • Attributes (list) --

          An array of attributes specifying the name and type of each field in a dataset.

          • (dict) --

            An attribute of a schema, which defines a dataset field. A schema attribute is required for every field in a dataset. The Schema object contains an array of SchemaAttribute objects.

            • AttributeName (string) --

              The name of the dataset field.

            • AttributeType (string) --

              The data type of the field.

              For a related time series dataset, other than date, item_id, and forecast dimensions attributes, all attributes should be of numerical type (integer/float).

      • Format (string) --

        The format of the data, either CSV or PARQUET.
