URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

MaxResults

The maximum 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 appropriate to the operation. If additional items exist beyond those included in the current response, 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

An API operation can 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.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 100.

Required: No

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 of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from. The pagination tokens expire after 24 hours.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: No

Regions

If specified, limits the response to only information about the index in the specified list of AWS Regions.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 20 items.

Indexes

NextToken

If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response.
