get-channel
--arn <value>
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--arn
(string)
ARN of the channel for which the configuration is to be retrieved.
--cli-input-json
(string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

To get a channel's configuration information
The following get-channel
example gets the channel configuration for a specified channel ARN (Amazon Resource Name).
aws ivs get-channel \
--arn arn:aws:ivs:us-west-2:123456789012:channel/abcdABCDefgh
Output:
{
"channel": {
"arn": "arn:aws:ivs:us-west-2:123456789012:channel/abcdABCDefgh",
"name": "channel-1",
"latencyMode": "LOW",
"type": "STANDARD",
"recordingConfigurationArn": "arn:aws:ivs:us-west-2:123456789012:recording-configuration/ABCD12cdEFgh",
"ingestEndpoint": "a1b2c3d4e5f6.global-contribute.live-video.net",
"playbackUrl": "https://a1b2c3d4e5f6.us-west-2.playback.live-video.net/api/video/v1/us-west-2.123456789012.channel.abcdEFGH.m3u8",
"tags": {}

channel -> (structure)
arn -> (string)
Channel ARN.authorized -> (boolean)
Whether the channel is private (enabled for playback authorization). Default:false
.ingestEndpoint -> (string)
Channel ingest endpoint, part of the definition of an ingest server, used when you set up streaming software.latencyMode -> (string)
Channel latency mode. UseNORMAL
to broadcast and deliver live video up to Full HD. UseLOW
for near-real-time interaction with viewers. Default:LOW
. (Note: In the Amazon IVS console,LOW
andNORMAL
correspond to Ultra-low and Standard, respectively.)name -> (string)
Channel name.playbackUrl -> (string)
Channel playback URL.recordingConfigurationArn -> (string)
Recording-configuration ARN. A value other than an empty string indicates that recording is enabled. Default: "" (empty string, recording is disabled).tags -> (map)

string:string (key:value)
.key -> (string)

type -> (string)
Channel type, which determines the allowable resolution and bitrate. If you exceed the allowable resolution or bitrate, the stream probably will disconnect immediately. Default:
STANDARD
. Valid values:
STANDARD
: Multiple qualities are generated from the original input, to automatically give viewers the best experience for their devices and network conditions. Resolution can be up to 1080p and bitrate can be up to 8.5 Mbps. Audio is transcoded only for renditions 360p and below; above that, audio is passed through.BASIC
: Amazon IVS delivers the original input to viewers. The viewer’s video-quality choice is limited to the original input. Resolution can be up to 480p and bitrate can be up to 1.5 Mbps.
