      Important

      If your list contains IP addresses, make sure to select IP_ADDRESS as the variable type. If you don’t select a variable type, Amazon Fraud Detector assumes the list to be of FREE_FORM_TEXT variable type.

  4. In the Add list data, add list entries, one entry in each line. You can also copy and paste entries from a spreadsheet.

    Note

    Make sure that the entries aren’t separated using a comma and are unique in the list. If two identical entries are entered, only one will be added.

Create list using the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)

You create a list by specifying a list name. You can optionally provide a description, associate a variable type, or add entries to your list when you are creating a list. Or, you can update the list later on by adding entries or a description. You can assign a variable type to the list later if you haven't assigned it when at the time of list creation. Variable type of a list cannot be changed after it is assigned.

Important

If your list contains IP addresses, make sure to assign IP_ADDRESS as the variable type. If you don’t assign a variable type, Amazon Fraud Detector assumes the list to be of FREE_FORM_TEXT variable type.

The following example uses CreateList API operation to create an allow_email_ids list by providing a description, a variable type, and by adding four list entries.

import boto3
fraudDetector = boto3.client('frauddetector')

fraudDetector.create_list (
     name = 'allow_email_ids',
     description = 'legitimate email_ids'
     variableType = 'EMAIL_ADDRESS',
     elements = ['emailId _1', 'emailId_2', 'emailId_3','emailId_4']
     )
