# GetLaunchTemplateData


Retrieves the configuration data of the specified instance. You can use this data to create a launch template. 

This action calls on other describe actions to get instance information. Depending on your instance configuration, you may need to allow the following actions in your IAM policy: `DescribeSpotInstanceRequests`, `DescribeInstanceCreditSpecifications`, `DescribeVolumes`, and `DescribeInstanceAttribute`. Or, you can allow `describe*` depending on your instance requirements.

## 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

 **InstanceId**   
The ID of the instance.  
Type: String  
Required: Yes
