AppConfigDataClient

Suggest an Edit

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.

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.

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.

AppConfigDataClient Operations

Command
Summary
GetLatestConfigurationCommand

Retrieves the latest deployed configuration. This API may return empty configuration data if the client already has the latest version. For more information about this API action and to view example CLI commands that show how to use it with the StartConfigurationSession API action, see Retrieving the configuration  in the AppConfig User Guide.

Note the following important information.

  • Each configuration token is only valid for one call to GetLatestConfiguration. The GetLatestConfiguration response includes a NextPollConfigurationToken that should always replace the token used for the just-completed call in preparation for the next one.

  • GetLatestConfiguration is a priced call. For more information, see Pricing .

StartConfigurationSessionCommand

Starts a configuration session used to retrieve a deployed configuration. For more information about this API action and to view example CLI commands that show how to use it with the GetLatestConfiguration API action, see Retrieving the configuration  in the AppConfig User Guide.

AppConfigDataClient Configuration

Parameter
Type
Description
defaultsMode
Optional
DefaultsMode | Provider<DefaultsMode>
The @smithy/smithy-client#DefaultsMode that will be used to determine how certain default configuration options are resolved in the SDK.
disableHostPrefix
Optional
boolean
Disable dynamically changing the endpoint of the client based on the hostPrefix trait of an operation.
extensions
Optional
RuntimeExtension[]
Optional extensions
logger
Optional
Logger
Optional logger for logging debug/info/warn/error.
maxAttempts
Optional
number | Provider<number>
Value for how many times a request will be made at most in case of retry.
profile
Optional
string
Setting a client profile is similar to setting a value for the AWS_PROFILE environment variable. Setting a profile on a client in code only affects the single client instance, unlike AWS_PROFILE.When set, and only for environments where an AWS configuration file exists, fields configurable by this file will be retrieved from the specified profile within that file. Conflicting code configuration and environment variables will still have higher priority.For client credential resolution that involves checking the AWS configuration file, the client's profile (this value) will be used unless a different profile is set in the credential provider options.
region
Optional
string | Provider<string>
The AWS region to which this client will send requests
requestHandler
Optional
__HttpHandlerUserInput
The HTTP handler to use or its constructor options. Fetch in browser and Https in Nodejs.
retryMode
Optional
string | Provider<string>
Specifies which retry algorithm to use.
useDualstackEndpoint
Optional
boolean | Provider<boolean>
Enables IPv6/IPv4 dualstack endpoint.
useFipsEndpoint
Optional
boolean | Provider<boolean>
Enables FIPS compatible endpoints.
