Options

--name (string)

The name of the API destination to retrieve.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

ApiDestinationArn -> (string)

The ARN of the API destination retrieved.

Name -> (string)

The name of the API destination retrieved.

Description -> (string)

The description for the API destination retrieved.

ApiDestinationState -> (string)

The state of the API destination retrieved.

ConnectionArn -> (string)

InvocationEndpoint -> (string)

The URL to use to connect to the HTTP endpoint.

InvocationRateLimitPerSecond -> (integer)

The maximum number of invocations per second to specified for the API destination. Note that if you set the invocation rate maximum to a value lower the rate necessary to send all events received on to the destination HTTP endpoint, some events may not be delivered within the 24-hour retry window. If you plan to set the rate lower than the rate necessary to deliver all events, consider using a dead-letter queue to catch events that are not delivered within 24 hours.
