Options

--payload (blob)

A zip archive in binary format. The archive should contain one file, a JSON file containing the resource to import. The resource should match the type specified in the resourceType field.

--resource-type (string)

Specifies the type of resource to export. Each resource also exports any resources that it depends on.

• A bot exports dependent intents.
• An intent exports dependent slot types.

Possible values:

• BOT
• INTENT
• SLOT_TYPE

--merge-strategy (string)

Specifies the action that the StartImport operation should take when there is an existing resource with the same name.

• FAIL_ON_CONFLICT - The import operation is stopped on the first conflict between a resource in the import file and an existing resource. The name of the resource causing the conflict is in the failureReason field of the response to the GetImport operation. OVERWRITE_LATEST - The import operation proceeds even if there is a conflict with an existing resource. The $LASTEST version of the existing resource is overwritten with the data from the import file.

Possible values:

• OVERWRITE_LATEST
• FAIL_ON_CONFLICT

--tags (list)

A list of tags to add to the imported bot. You can only add tags when you import a bot, you can't add tags to an intent or slot type.

(structure)

A list of key/value pairs that identify a bot, bot alias, or bot channel. Tag keys and values can consist of Unicode letters, digits, white space, and any of the following symbols: _ . : / = + - @.

key -> (string)

The key for the tag. Keys are not case-sensitive and must be unique.

value -> (string)

The value associated with a key. The value may be an empty string but it can't be null.

Shorthand Syntax:

key=string,value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "key": "string",
    "value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--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.

--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)

--endpoint-url (string)

--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.
