ListChannels

Lists all Channels created under a single Chime App as a paginated list. You can specify filters to narrow results.

Functionality & restrictions

Use privacy = PUBLIC to retrieve all public channels in the account.
Only an AppInstanceAdmin can set privacy = PRIVATE to list the private channels in an account.

Note

The x-amz-chime-bearer request header is mandatory. Use the AppInstanceUserArn of the user that makes the API call as the value in the header.

Important

This API is no longer supported and will not be updated. We recommend using the latest version, ListChannels, in the Amazon Chime SDK.

Using the latest version requires migrating to a dedicated namespace. For more information, refer to Migrating from the Amazon Chime namespace in the Amazon Chime SDK Developer Guide.
