Client#

class AppConfigData.Client#

A low-level client representing AWS AppConfig Data

AppConfig Data provides the data plane APIs your application uses to retrieve configuration data. Here’s how it works:

Your application retrieves configuration data by first establishing a configuration session using the AppConfig Data StartConfigurationSession API action. Your session’s client then makes periodic calls to GetLatestConfiguration to check for and retrieve the latest data available.

When calling StartConfigurationSession , your code sends the following information:

  • Identifiers (ID or name) of an AppConfig application, environment, and configuration profile that the session tracks.

  • (Optional) The minimum amount of time the session’s client must wait between calls to GetLatestConfiguration .

In response, AppConfig provides an InitialConfigurationToken to be given to the session’s client and used the first time it calls GetLatestConfiguration for that session.

Warning

This token should only be used once in your first call to GetLatestConfiguration . You must use the new token in the GetLatestConfiguration response ( NextPollConfigurationToken ) in each subsequent call to GetLatestConfiguration .

When calling GetLatestConfiguration , your client code sends the most recent ConfigurationToken value it has and receives in response:

  • NextPollConfigurationToken : the ConfigurationToken value to use on the next call to GetLatestConfiguration .

  • NextPollIntervalInSeconds : the duration the client should wait before making its next call to GetLatestConfiguration . This duration may vary over the course of the session, so it should be used instead of the value sent on the StartConfigurationSession call.

  • The configuration: the latest data intended for the session. This may be empty if the client already has the latest version of the configuration.

Warning

The InitialConfigurationToken and NextPollConfigurationToken should only be used once. To support long poll use cases, the tokens are valid for up to 24 hours. If a GetLatestConfiguration call uses an expired token, the system returns BadRequestException .
