Describe Vault (GET vault)
Description
This operation returns information about a vault, including the vault Amazon Resource Name (ARN), the date the vault was created, the number of archives contained within the vault, and the total size of all the archives in the vault. The number of archives and their total size are as of the last vault inventory Amazon Glacier generated (see Working with Vaults in Amazon Glacier). Amazon Glacier generates vault inventories approximately daily. This means that if you add or remove an archive from a vault, and then immediately send a Describe Vault request, the response might not reflect the changes.
Requests
To get information about a vault, send a GET request to the URI of the specific
vault resource.

You can either specify AWS Account ID or optionally a '-' in which case Amazon Glacier uses the AWS Account ID associated with the credentials used to sign the request. If you specify your Account ID, do not include dashes in it.
