# DescribeInternetGateways


Describes your internet gateways. The default is to describe all your internet gateways. Alternatively, you can specify specific internet gateway IDs or filter the results to include only the internet gateways that match specific criteria.

## Request Parameters


The following parameters are for this specific action. For more information about required and optional parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Query Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

 **DryRun**   
Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is `DryRunOperation`. Otherwise, it is `UnauthorizedOperation`.  
Type: Boolean  
Required: No

 **Filter.N**   
The filters.  
+  `attachment.state` - The current state of the attachment between the gateway and the VPC (`available`). Present only if a VPC is attached.
+  `attachment.vpc-id` - The ID of an attached VPC.
+  `internet-gateway-id` - The ID of the Internet gateway.
+  `owner-id` - The ID of the AWS account that owns the internet gateway.
+  `tag` - The key/value combination of a tag assigned to the resource. Use the tag key in the filter name and the tag value as the filter value. For example, to find all resources that have a tag with the key `Owner` and the value `TeamA`, specify `tag:Owner` for the filter name and `TeamA` for the filter value.
+  `tag-key` - The key of a tag assigned to the resource. Use this filter to find all resources assigned a tag with a specific key, regardless of the tag value.
