# list-fleets

## Description

> **This API works with the following fleet types:** EC2, Anywhere, Container

Retrieves a collection of fleet resources in an Amazon Web Services Region. You can filter the result set to find only those fleets that are deployed with a specific build or script. For fleets that have multiple locations, this operation retrieves fleets based on their home Region only.

You can use this operation in the following ways:

* To get a list of all fleets in a Region, don’t provide a build or script identifier.
* To get a list of all fleets where a specific game build is deployed, provide the build ID.
* To get a list of all Amazon GameLift Servers Realtime fleets with a specific configuration script, provide the script ID.

Use the pagination parameters to retrieve results as a set of sequential pages.

If successful, this operation returns a list of fleet IDs that match the request parameters. A NextToken value is also returned if there are more result pages to retrieve.

#### NOTE
Fleet IDs are returned in no particular order.

See also: [AWS API Documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/goto/WebAPI/gamelift-2015-10-01/ListFleets)

`list-fleets` is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the `--no-paginate` argument.
When using `--output text` and the `--query` argument on a paginated response, the `--query` argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: `FleetIds`

## Options

`--build-id` (string)

> A unique identifier for the build to request fleets for. Use this parameter to return only fleets using a specified build. Use either the build ID or ARN value.

> Constraints:

> * min: `1`
> * max: `512`
> * pattern: `^(build-\S+|arn:.*:build\/build-\S+)$`

`--script-id` (string)

> A unique identifier for the Realtime script to request fleets for. Use this parameter to return only fleets using a specified script. Use either the script ID or ARN value.

> Constraints:

> * min: `1`
> * max: `512`
> * pattern: `^(script-\S+|arn:.*:script\/script-\S+)$`

`--starting-token` (string)

> A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the `NextToken` from a previously truncated response.

> For usage examples, see [Pagination](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/pagination.html) in the *AWS Command Line Interface User Guide* .

`--page-size` (integer)

> The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command’s output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

> For usage examples, see [Pagination](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/pagination.html) in the *AWS Command Line Interface User Guide* .

> Constraints:

> * min: `1`

`--max-items` (integer)

> The total number of items to return in the command’s output. If the total number of items available is more than the value specified, a `NextToken` is provided in the command’s output. To resume pagination, provide the `NextToken` value in the `starting-token` argument of a subsequent command. **Do not** use the `NextToken` response element directly outside of the AWS CLI.

> For usage examples, see [Pagination](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/pagination.html) in the *AWS Command Line Interface User Guide* .

`--cli-input-json` | `--cli-input-yaml` (string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by `--generate-cli-skeleton`. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with `--cli-input-yaml`.

`--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`. Similarly, if provided `yaml-input` it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with `--cli-input-yaml`. If provided with the value `output`, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

## 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)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

`--output` (string)

The formatting style for command output.

* json
* text
* table
* yaml
* yaml-stream
* off

`--query` (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

`--profile` (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

`--region` (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

`--version` (string)

Display the version of this tool.

`--color` (string)

Turn on/off color output.

* on
* off
* auto

`--no-sign-request` (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

`--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.

`--cli-binary-format` (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob `fileb://` will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the `cli-binary-format` setting. When using `file://` the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured `cli-binary-format`.

* base64
* raw-in-base64-out

`--no-cli-pager` (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

`--cli-auto-prompt` (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

`--no-cli-auto-prompt` (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

`--cli-error-format` (string)

The formatting style for error output. By default, errors are displayed in enhanced format.

* legacy
* json
* yaml
* text
* table
* enhanced

## Examples

#### NOTE
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the [Getting started guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html) in the *AWS CLI User Guide* for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See [Using quotation marks with strings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-usage-parameters-quoting-strings.html) in the *AWS CLI User Guide* .

**Example 1: To get a list of all fleets in a Region**

The following `list-fleets` example displays the fleet IDs of all fleets in the current Region. This example uses pagination parameters to retrieve two fleet IDs at a time. The response includes a `next-token` attribute, which indicates that there are more results to retrieve.

```bash
aws gamelift list-fleets \
    --limit 2
```

Output:

```json
{
    "FleetIds": [
        "fleet-a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111",
        "fleet-a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE22222"
    ],
    "NextToken": "eyJhd3NBY2NvdW50SWQiOnsicyI6IjMwMjc3NjAxNjM5OCJ9LCJidWlsZElkIjp7InMiOiJidWlsZC01NWYxZTZmMS1jY2FlLTQ3YTctOWI5ZS1iYjFkYTQwMjJEXAMPLE="
}
```

You can pass the `NextToken` value from the previous response in the next command, as shown here to get the next two results.

```bash
aws gamelift list-fleets \
    --limit 2 \
    --next-token eyJhd3NBY2NvdW50SWQiOnsicyI6IjMwMjc3NjAxNjM5OCJ9LCJidWlsZElkIjp7InMiOiJidWlsZC00NDRlZjQxZS1hM2I1LTQ2NDYtODJmMy0zYzI4ZTgxNjVjEXAMPLE=
```

For more information, see [Deploy hosting fleets for Amazon GameLift Servers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/gameliftservers/latest/developerguide/fleets-intro.html) in the *Amazon GameLift Servers Developer Guide*.

**Example 2: To get a list of all fleets in a Region with a specific build or script**

The following `list-fleets` example retrieves the IDs of fleets that are deployed with the specified game build. If you’re working with Realtime Servers, you can provide a script ID in place of a build ID. Because this example does not specify the limit parameter, the results can include up to 16 fleet IDs.

```bash
aws gamelift list-fleets \
    --build-id build-a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111
```

Output:

```json
{
    "FleetIds": [
        "fleet-a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE22222",
        "fleet-a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE33333",
        "fleet-a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE44444"
    ]
}
```
