Request Syntax

response = client.list_tasks(
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string',
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'LocationId'|'CreationTime',
            'Values': [
                'string',
            ],
            'Operator': 'Equals'|'NotEquals'|'In'|'LessThanOrEqual'|'LessThan'|'GreaterThanOrEqual'|'GreaterThan'|'Contains'|'NotContains'|'BeginsWith'
        },
    ]
)
Parameters:

  • MaxResults (integer) – The maximum number of tasks to return.

  • NextToken (string) – An opaque string that indicates the position at which to begin the next list of tasks.

  • Filters (list) –

    You can use API filters to narrow down the list of resources returned by ListTasks. For example, to retrieve all tasks on a specific source location, you can use ListTasks with filter name LocationId and Operator Equals with the ARN for the location.

    • (dict) –

      You can use API filters to narrow down the list of resources returned by ListTasks. For example, to retrieve all tasks on a source location, you can use ListTasks with filter name LocationId and Operator Equals with the ARN for the location.

      For more information, see filtering DataSync resources.

      • Name (string) – [REQUIRED]

      • Values (list) – [REQUIRED]

        The values that you want to filter for. For example, you might want to display only tasks for a specific destination location.

        • (string) –

      • Operator (string) – [REQUIRED]

        The operator that is used to compare filter values (for example, Equals or Contains).
