list-user-pools is a paginated operation. Multiple API calls may be issued in order to retrieve the entire data set of results. You can disable pagination by providing the --no-paginate argument. When using --output text and the --query argument on a paginated response, the --query argument must extract data from the results of the following query expressions: UserPools

Options

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--starting-token (string)

A token to specify where to start paginating. This is the NextToken from a previously truncated response.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--page-size (integer)

The size of each page to get in the AWS service call. This does not affect the number of items returned in the command's output. Setting a smaller page size results in more calls to the AWS service, retrieving fewer items in each call. This can help prevent the AWS service calls from timing out.

For usage examples, see Pagination in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--max-items (integer)

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 in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide .

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To list user pools

This example lists up to 20 user pools.

Command:

aws cognito-idp list-user-pools --max-results 20

Output:

{
  "UserPools": [
      {
         "CreationDate": 1547763720.822,
         "LastModifiedDate": 1547763720.822,
         "LambdaConfig": {},
         "Id": "us-west-2_aaaaaaaaa",
         "Name": "MyUserPool"
      }
  ]
}

Output

UserPools -> (list)

The user pools from the response to list users.

(structure)

A short description of a user pool.

This data type is a response parameter of ListUserPools .

Id -> (string)

The user pool ID.

Name -> (string)

The user pool name.

LambdaConfig -> (structure)

A collection of user pool Lambda triggers. Amazon Cognito invokes triggers at several possible stages of user pool operations. Triggers can modify the outcome of the operations that invoked them.

PreSignUp -> (string)

The configuration of a pre sign-up Lambda trigger in a user pool. This trigger evaluates new users and can bypass confirmation, link a federated user profile , or block sign-up requests.

CustomMessage -> (string)

A custom message Lambda trigger. This trigger is an opportunity to customize all SMS and email messages from your user pool. When a custom message trigger is active, your user pool routes all messages to a Lambda function that returns a runtime-customized message subject and body for your user pool to deliver to a user.

PostConfirmation -> (string)

The configuration of a post confirmation Lambda trigger in a user pool. This trigger can take custom actions after a user confirms their user account and their email address or phone number.

PreAuthentication -> (string)

The configuration of a pre authentication trigger in a user pool. This trigger can evaluate and modify user sign-in events.

PostAuthentication -> (string)

The configuration of a post authentication Lambda trigger in a user pool. This trigger can take custom actions after a user signs in.

DefineAuthChallenge -> (string)

The configuration of a define auth challenge Lambda trigger, one of three triggers in the sequence of the custom authentication challenge triggers .

CreateAuthChallenge -> (string)

The configuration of a create auth challenge Lambda trigger, one of three triggers in the sequence of the custom authentication challenge triggers .

VerifyAuthChallengeResponse -> (string)

The configuration of a verify auth challenge Lambda trigger, one of three triggers in the sequence of the custom authentication challenge triggers .

PreTokenGeneration -> (string)

The legacy configuration of a pre token generation Lambda trigger in a user pool.

Set this parameter for legacy purposes. If you also set an ARN in PreTokenGenerationConfig , its value must be identical to PreTokenGeneration . For new instances of pre token generation triggers, set the LambdaArn of PreTokenGenerationConfig .

UserMigration -> (string)

The configuration of a migrate user Lambda trigger in a user pool. This trigger can create user profiles when users sign in or attempt to reset their password with credentials that don't exist yet.

PreTokenGenerationConfig -> (structure)

The detailed configuration of a pre token generation Lambda trigger in a user pool. If you also set an ARN in PreTokenGeneration , its value must be identical to PreTokenGenerationConfig .

LambdaVersion -> (string)

The user pool trigger version of the request that Amazon Cognito sends to your Lambda function. Higher-numbered versions add fields that support new features.

LambdaArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the function that you want to assign to your Lambda trigger.

This parameter and the PreTokenGeneration property of LambdaConfig have the same value. For new instances of pre token generation triggers, set LambdaArn .

CustomSMSSender -> (structure)

The configuration of a custom SMS sender Lambda trigger. This trigger routes all SMS notifications from a user pool to a Lambda function that delivers the message using custom logic.

LambdaVersion -> (string)

The user pool trigger version of the request that Amazon Cognito sends to your Lambda function. Higher-numbered versions add fields that support new features.

You must use a LambdaVersion of V1_0 with a custom sender function.

LambdaArn -> (string)
