Request Syntax


POST /groups-list?maxResults=MaxResults&nextToken=NextToken HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/json

{
   "Filters": [ 
      { 
         "Name": "string",
         "Values": [ "string" ]
      }
   ]
}

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

MaxResults

The total number of results that you want included on each page of the response. If you do not include this parameter, it defaults to a value that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, the NextToken response element is present and has a value (is not null). Include that value as the NextToken request parameter in the next call to the operation to get the next part of the results. Note that the service might return fewer results than the maximum even when there are more results available. You should check NextToken after every operation to ensure that you receive all of the results.

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 50.

NextToken

The parameter for receiving additional results if you receive a NextToken response in a previous request. A NextToken response indicates that more output is available. Set this parameter to the value provided by a previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 8192.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9+/]*={0,2}$

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Filters

Filters, formatted as GroupFilter objects, that you want to apply to a ListGroups operation.

resource-type - Filter the results to include only those resource groups that have the specified resource type in their ResourceTypeFilter. For example, AWS::EC2::Instance would return any resource group with a ResourceTypeFilter that includes AWS::EC2::Instance.
configuration-type - Filter the results to include only those groups that have the specified configuration types attached. The current supported values are:
- AWS::AppRegistry::Application
- AWS::AppRegistry::ApplicationResourceGroups
- AWS::CloudFormation::Stack
- AWS::EC2::CapacityReservationPool
- AWS::EC2::HostManagement
- AWS::NetworkFirewall::RuleGroup

Type: Array of GroupFilter objects

Required: No
