Client

class SFN.Client

A low-level client representing AWS Step Functions (SFN):

import boto3

client = boto3.client('stepfunctions')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
create_activity(**kwargs)

Creates an activity. An activity is a task that you write in any programming language and host on any machine that has access to AWS Step Functions. Activities must poll Step Functions using the GetActivityTask API action and respond using SendTask* API actions. This function lets Step Functions know the existence of your activity and returns an identifier for use in a state machine and when polling from the activity.

Note

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

        },
    ]
)
Parameters
  • name (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the activity to create. This name must be unique for your AWS account and region for 90 days. For more information, see Limits Related to State Machine Executions in the AWS Step Functions Developer Guide .

create_state_machine(**kwargs)

Creates a state machine. A state machine consists of a collection of states that can do work (Task states), determine to which states to transition next (Choice states), stop an execution with an error (Fail states), and so on. State machines are specified using a JSON-based, structured language.

Note

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

generate_presigned_url(ClientMethod, Params=None, ExpiresIn=3600, HttpMethod=None)

Generate a presigned url given a client, its method, and arguments

Parameters
  • ClientMethod (string) -- The client method to presign for
  • Params (dict) -- The parameters normally passed to ClientMethod.
  • ExpiresIn (int) -- The number of seconds the presigned url is valid for. By default it expires in an hour (3600 seconds)
  • HttpMethod (string) -- The http method to use on the generated url. By default, the http method is whatever is used in the method's model.
Returns

The presigned url

get_activity_task(**kwargs)

Used by workers to retrieve a task (with the specified activity ARN) which has been scheduled for execution by a running state machine. This initiates a long poll, where the service holds the HTTP connection open and responds as soon as a task becomes available (i.e. an execution of a task of this type is needed.) The maximum time the service holds on to the request before responding is 60 seconds. If no task is available within 60 seconds, the poll returns a taskToken with a null string.

Warning

Workers should set their client side socket timeout to at least 65 seconds (5 seconds higher than the maximum time the service may hold the poll request).

Polling with GetActivityTask can cause latency in some implementations. See Avoid Latency When Polling for Activity Tasks in the Step Functions Developer Guide.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

response = client.get_activity_task(
    activityArn='string',
    workerName='string'
)
Parameters
  • activityArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the activity to retrieve tasks from (assigned when you create the task using CreateActivity .)

  • workerName (string) -- You can provide an arbitrary name in order to identify the worker that the task is assigned to. This name is used when it is logged in the execution history.
Return type

dict

Returns

Response Syntax

{
    'taskToken': 'string',
    'input': 'string'
}

Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • taskToken (string) --

      A token that identifies the scheduled task. This token must be copied and included in subsequent calls to SendTaskHeartbeat , SendTaskSuccess or SendTaskFailure in order to report the progress or completion of the task.

    • input (string) --

      The string that contains the JSON input data for the task.

get_execution_history(**kwargs)

Returns the history of the specified execution as a list of events. By default, the results are returned in ascending order of the timeStamp of the events. Use the reverseOrder parameter to get the latest events first.

If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.

Request Syntax

response = client.get_execution_history(
    executionArn='string',
    maxResults=123,
    reverseOrder=True|False,

Parameters
  • executionArn (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution.

  • maxResults (integer) --

    The maximum number of results that are returned per call. You can use nextToken to obtain further pages of results. The default is 100 and the maximum allowed page size is 1000. A value of 0 uses the default.

    This is only an upper limit. The actual number of results returned per call might be fewer than the specified maximum.

  • reverseOrder (boolean) -- Lists events in descending order of their timeStamp .
  • nextToken (string) -- If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.

Raises OperationNotPageableError
Raised if the operation is not pageable. You can use the client.can_paginate method to check if an operation is pageable.

L{botocore.paginate.Paginator}
Returns
A paginator object.

Returns an object that can wait for some condition.

Parameters

Returns
The specified waiter object.
Return type
botocore.waiter.Waiter

Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.

Note

This operation is eventually consistent. The results are best effort and may not reflect very recent updates and changes.

The Timeout of a task, defined in the state machine's Amazon States Language definition, is its maximum allowed duration, regardless of the number of SendTaskHeartbeat requests received.

Note

This operation is only useful for long-lived tasks to report the liveliness of the task.
