DescribePlayerSessions - Amazon GameLift
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

DescribePlayerSessions

Retrieves properties for one or more player sessions.

This action can be used in the following ways:

  • To retrieve a specific player session, provide the player session ID only.

  • To retrieve all player sessions in a game session, provide the game session ID only.

  • To retrieve all player sessions for a specific player, provide a player ID only.

To request player sessions, specify either a player session ID, game session ID, or player ID. You can filter this request by player session status. If you provide a specific PlayerSessionId or PlayerId, Amazon GameLift ignores the filter criteria. Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.

If successful, a PlayerSession object is returned for each session that matches the request.
