Use SetSubscriptionAttributes with an Amazon SDK or CLI

To set subscription attributes

The following set-subscription-attributes example sets the RawMessageDelivery attribute to an SQS subscription.

aws sns set-subscription-attributes \
    --subscription-arn arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:mytopic:f248de18-2cf6-578c-8592-b6f1eaa877dc \
    --attribute-name RawMessageDelivery \
    --attribute-value true

This command produces no output.

The following set-subscription-attributes example sets a FilterPolicy attribute to an SQS subscription.

aws sns set-subscription-attributes \
    --subscription-arn arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:mytopic:f248de18-2cf6-578c-8592-b6f1eaa877dc \
    --attribute-name FilterPolicy \
    --attribute-value "{ \"anyMandatoryKey\": [\"any\", \"of\", \"these\"] }"

This command produces no output.

The following set-subscription-attributes example removes the FilterPolicy attribute from an SQS subscription.

aws sns set-subscription-attributes \
    --subscription-arn arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:123456789012:mytopic:f248de18-2cf6-578c-8592-b6f1eaa877dc \
    --attribute-name FilterPolicy \
    --attribute-value "{}"

This command produces no output.
