Describing a collection

To describe a collection (SDK)

1. If you haven't already:

   1. Create or update a user with AmazonRekognitionFullAccess permissions. For more information, see Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create a User.

   2. Install and configure the AWS CLI and the AWS SDKs. For more information, see Step 2: Set up the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs.

2. Use the following examples to call the DescribeCollection operation.

   Java

   This example describes a collection.

   Change the value collectionId to the ID of the desired collection.

   AWS CLI

   This AWS CLI command displays the JSON output for the describe-collection CLI operation. Change the value of collection-id to the ID of the desired collection. Replace the value of profile_name in the line that creates the Rekognition session with the name of your developer profile.

   aws rekognition describe-collection --collection-id collection-name --profile profile-name
                              

   Python

   This example describes a collection.

   Change the value collection_id to the ID of the desired collection. Replace the value of profile_name in the line that creates the Rekognition session with the name of your developer profile.
