# ListMeshes
Returns a list of existing service meshes.
## Request Syntax
```
GET /v20190125/meshes?limit=limit&nextToken=nextToken HTTP/1.1
```
## URI Request Parameters
The request uses the following URI parameters.
** [limit](#API_ListMeshes_RequestSyntax) **
The maximum number of results returned by `ListMeshes` in paginated output. When you use this parameter, `ListMeshes` returns only `limit` results in a single page along with a `nextToken` response element. You can see the remaining results of the initial request by sending another `ListMeshes` request with the returned `nextToken` value. This value can be between 1 and 100. If you don't use this parameter, `ListMeshes` returns up to 100 results and a `nextToken` value if applicable.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 1. Maximum value of 100.
** [nextToken](#API_ListMeshes_RequestSyntax) **
The `nextToken` value returned from a previous paginated `ListMeshes` request where `limit` was used and the results exceeded the value of that parameter. Pagination continues from the end of the previous results that returned the `nextToken` value.
This token should be treated as an opaque identifier that is used only to retrieve the next items in a list and not for other programmatic purposes.
## Request Body
The request does not have a request body.
## Response Syntax
```
HTTP/1.1 200
Content-type: application/json
{
"meshes": [
{
"arn": "string",
"createdAt": number,
"lastUpdatedAt": number,
"meshName": "string",
"meshOwner": "string",
"resourceOwner": "string",
"version": number
}
],
"nextToken": "string"
}
```
## 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.
** [meshes](#API_ListMeshes_ResponseSyntax) **
The list of existing service meshes.
Type: Array of [MeshRef](API_MeshRef.md) objects
** [nextToken](#API_ListMeshes_ResponseSyntax) **
The `nextToken` value to include in a future `ListMeshes` request. When the results of a `ListMeshes` request exceed `limit`, you can use this value to retrieve the next page of results. This value is `null` when there are no more results to return.
Type: String

## Examples
In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents (`AUTHPARAMS`) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4 signature. For more information about creating these signatures, see [Signature Version 4 Signing Process](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html) in the * AWS General Reference*.
You need to learn how to sign HTTP requests only if you intend to manually create them. When you use the [AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)](http://aws.amazon.com/cli/) or one of the [AWS SDKs](http://aws.amazon.com/tools/) to make requests to AWS, these tools automatically sign the requests for you with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't need to learn how to sign requests yourself.
### Example
This example lists the service meshes for an account in the `us-east-1` Region.
