AWS CLI

To list identity pools

This example lists identity pools. There s a maximum of 20 identities listed.

Command:

aws cognito-identity list-identity-pools --max-results 20

Output:

{
  "IdentityPools": [
      {
          "IdentityPoolId": "us-west-2:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111",
          "IdentityPoolName": "MyIdentityPool"
      },
      {
          "IdentityPoolId": "us-west-2:11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111",
          "IdentityPoolName": "AnotherIdentityPool"
      },
