Request Syntax

response = client.list_groups(
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'resource-type'|'configuration-type',
            'Values': [
                'string',
            ]
        },
    ],
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string'
)
Parameters
  • Filters (list) --

    Filters, formatted as GroupFilter objects, that you want to apply to a ListGroups operation.

    • resource-type - Filter the results to include only those of the specified resource types. Specify up to five resource types in the format AWS::ServiceCode::ResourceType . For example, AWS::EC2::Instance , or AWS::S3::Bucket .
    • configuration-type - Filter the results to include only those groups that have the specified configuration types attached. The current supported values are:
      • AWS::EC2::CapacityReservationPool
      • AWS::EC2::HostManagement
    • (dict) --

      A filter collection that you can use to restrict the results from a List operation to only those you want to include.

      • Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The name of the filter. Filter names are case-sensitive.

      • Values (list) -- [REQUIRED]

        One or more filter values. Allowed filter values vary by group filter name, and are case-sensitive.

        • (string) --
  • MaxResults (integer) -- The total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that the service might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.
  • NextToken (string) -- The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value provided by a previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • GroupIdentifiers (list) --

      A list of GroupIdentifier objects. Each identifier is an object that contains both the Name and the GroupArn .

      • (dict) --

        The unique identifiers for a resource group.

        • GroupName (string) --

          The name of the resource group.

        • GroupArn (string) --

          The ARN of the resource group.

    • Groups (list) --

      Warning

      Deprecated - don't use this field. Use the GroupIdentifiers response field instead.

      • (dict) --

        A resource group that contains Amazon Web Services resources. You can assign resources to the group by associating either of the following elements with the group:

        • ResourceQuery - Use a resource query to specify a set of tag keys and values. All resources in the same Amazon Web Services Region and Amazon Web Services account that have those keys with the same values are included in the group. You can add a resource query when you create the group, or later by using the PutGroupConfiguration operation.
        • GroupConfiguration - Use a service configuration to associate the group with an Amazon Web Services service. The configuration specifies which resource types can be included in the group.
        • GroupArn (string) --

          The ARN of the resource group.

        • Name (string) --

          The name of the resource group.

        • Description (string) --

          The description of the resource group.

    • NextToken (string) --

      If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null .
