DescribeDataSet

Use the DescribeDataSet API operation to describe a dataset. To use this operation, you need the ID of the dataset that you want to describe. The dataset ID is part of the dataset URL in QuickSight. You can also use the ListDataSets API operation to get the ID.

Following is an example AWS CLI command for this operation.

AWS CLI

aws quicksight describe-data-set 
    --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID 
    --data-set-id DATASETID
