Listing collections - Amazon Rekognition

Listing collections

You can use the ListCollections operation to list the collections in the region that you are using.

For more information, see Managing a collection.

To list collections (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 ListCollections operation.

    Java

    The following example lists the collections in the current region.

    AWS CLI

    This AWS CLI command displays the JSON output for the list-collections CLI operation. Replace the value of profile_name with the name of your developer profile.

    aws rekognition list-collections --profile profile-name
    Python

    The following example lists the collections in the current region.

    Replace the value of profile_name in the line that creates the Rekognition session with the name of your developer profile.

ListCollections operation request

The input to ListCollections is the maximum number of collections to be returned.

{ "MaxResults": 2 }

If the response has more collections than are requested by MaxResults, a token is returned that you can use to get the next set of results, in a subsequent call to ListCollections. For example:

{ "NextToken": "MGYZLAHX1T5a....", "MaxResults": 2 }

ListCollections operation response

Amazon Rekognition returns an array of collections (CollectionIds). A separate array (FaceModelVersions) provides the version of the face model used to analyze faces in each collection. For example, in the following JSON response, the collection MyCollection analyzes faces by using version 2.0 of the face model. The collection AnotherCollection uses version 3.0 of the face model. For more information, see Understanding model versioning.

NextToken is the token that's used to get the next set of results, in a subsequent call to ListCollections.

{ "CollectionIds": [ "MyCollection", "AnotherCollection" ], "FaceModelVersions": [ "2.0", "3.0" ], "NextToken": "MGYZLAHX1T5a...." }
