To describe a case

The following describe-cases example returns information about the specified support case in your Amazon account.

aws support describe-cases \
    --display-id "1234567890" \
    --after-time "2020-03-23T21:31:47.774Z" \
    --include-resolved-cases \
    --language "en" \
    --no-include-communications \
    --max-item 1

Output:

{
    "cases": [
        {
            "status": "resolved",
            "ccEmailAddresses": [],
            "timeCreated": "2020-03-23T21:31:47.774Z",
            "caseId": "case-12345678910-2013-c4c1d2bf33c5cf47",
            "severityCode": "low",
            "language": "en",

Example 1: Returns the details of all support cases.

Get-ASACase

Example 2: Returns the details of all support cases since the specified date and time.

Get-ASACase -AfterTime "2013-09-10T03:06Z"

Example 3: Returns the details of the first 10 support cases, including those that have been resolved.

Get-ASACase -MaxResult 10 -IncludeResolvedCases $true

Example 4: Returns the details of the single specified support case.

Get-ASACase -CaseIdList "case-12345678910-2013-c4c1d2bf33c5cf47"

Example 5: Returns the details of specified support cases.

Get-ASACase -CaseIdList @("case-12345678910-2013-c4c1d2bf33c5cf47", "case-18929034710-2011-c4fdeabf33c5cf47")

Example 6: Returns all support cases using manual paging. The cases are retrieved in batches of 20.
