cloudformation:DescribeStacks

Request Syntax


POST /resources/search HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/json

{
   "MaxResults": number,
   "NextToken": "string",
   "ResourceQuery": { 
      "Query": "string",
      "Type": "string"
   }
}

URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

ResourceQuery

The search query, using the same formats that are supported for resource group definition. For more information, see CreateGroup.

Type: ResourceQuery object

Required: Yes

MaxResults

The total 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 that is specific to the operation. If additional items exist beyond the maximum you specify, 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 that the service might 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 50.

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 provided by a previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 8192.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9+/]*={0,2}$

Required: No

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

NextToken

If present, indicates that more output is available than is included in the current response. Use this value in the NextToken request parameter in a subsequent call to the operation to get the next part of the output. You should repeat this until the NextToken response element comes back as null.
