## URI Request Parameters
<a name="API_ListRegions_RequestParameters"></a>

The request does not use any URI parameters.

## Request Body
<a name="API_ListRegions_RequestBody"></a>

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [AccountId](#API_ListRegions_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="accounts-ListRegions-request-AccountId"></a>
Specifies the 12-digit account ID number of the AWS account that you want to access or modify with this operation. If you don't specify this parameter, it defaults to the Amazon Web Services account of the identity used to call the operation. To use this parameter, the caller must be an identity in the [organization's management account](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_getting-started_concepts.html#account) or a delegated administrator account. The specified account ID must be a member account in the same organization. The organization must have [all features enabled](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_manage_org_support-all-features.html), and the organization must have [trusted access](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_integrate_services.html) enabled for the Account Management service, and optionally a [delegated admin](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/userguide/orgs_getting-started_concepts.html#delegated-admin) account assigned.  
The management account can't specify its own `AccountId`. It must call the operation in standalone context by not including the `AccountId` parameter.
To call this operation on an account that is not a member of an organization, don't specify this parameter. Instead, call the operation using an identity belonging to the account whose contacts you wish to retrieve or modify.  
Type: String  
Pattern: `\d{12}`   
Required: No

 ** [MaxResults](#API_ListRegions_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="accounts-ListRegions-request-MaxResults"></a>
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](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/pagination.html) in the * AWS Command Line Interface User Guide*.   
Type: Integer

Required: No

 ** [NextToken](#API_ListRegions_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="accounts-ListRegions-request-NextToken"></a>
A token used to specify where to start paginating. This is the `NextToken` from a previously truncated response. For usage examples, see [Pagination](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/pagination.html) in the * AWS Command Line Interface User Guide*.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 0. Maximum length of 1000.
