GetResource - AWS Cloud Control API

GetResource

You can use this action to return information about an existing resource in your account and AWS Region, whether those resources were provisioned using Cloud Control API.

Request Syntax

{ "Identifier": "string", "RoleArn": "string", "TypeName": "string", "TypeVersionId": "string" }

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Identifier

The identifier for the resource.

You can specify the primary identifier, or any secondary identifier defined for the resource type in its resource schema. You can only specify one identifier. Primary identifiers can be specified as a string or JSON; secondary identifiers must be specified as JSON.

For compound primary identifiers (that is, one that consists of multiple resource properties strung together), to specify the primary identifier as a string, list the property values in the order they are specified in the primary identifier definition, separated by |.
