ListResources

Returns a list of resources and their details that match the specified criteria. This query must use a view. If you don’t explicitly specify a view, then Resource Explorer uses the default view for the AWS Region in which you call this operation.

Minimum permissions

To call this operation, you must have the following permissions:

Action: resource-explorer-2:Search

Resource: No specific resource (*).

Request Syntax


POST /ListResources HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/json

{
   "Filters": { 
      "FilterString": "string"
   },
   "MaxResults": number,
   "NextToken": "string",
   "ViewArn": "string"
}

URI Request Parameters

The request does not use any URI parameters.

Request Body

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

Filters

An array of strings that specify which resources are included in the results of queries made using this view. When you use this view in a Search operation, the filter string is combined with the search's QueryString parameter using a logical AND operator.

For information about the supported syntax, see Search query reference for Resource Explorer in the AWS Resource Explorer User Guide.

Important

This query string in the context of this operation supports only filter prefixes with optional operators. It doesn't support free-form text. For example, the string region:us* service:ec2 -tag:stage=prod includes all Amazon EC2 resources in any AWS Region that begins with the letters us and is not tagged with a key Stage that has the value prod.

Type: SearchFilter object

Required: No

MaxResults

The maximum 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 appropriate to the operation. If additional items exist beyond those included in the current response, 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

An API operation can 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 1000.

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 of the previous call's NextToken response to indicate where the output should continue from. The pagination tokens expire after 24 hours.

Note

The ListResources operation does not generate a NextToken if you set MaxResults to 1000.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: No

ViewArn

Specifies the Amazon resource name (ARN) of the view to use for the query. If you don't specify a value for this parameter, then the operation automatically uses the default view for the AWS Region in which you called this operation. If the Region either doesn't have a default view or if you don't have permission to use the default view, then the operation fails with a 401 Unauthorized exception.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1000.

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. The pagination tokens expire after 24 hours.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Resources

The list of structures that describe the resources that match the query.

Type: Array of Resource objects

ViewArn

The Amazon resource name (ARN) of the view that this operation used to perform the search.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1011.
