list_connection_types

Glue.Client.list_connection_types(**kwargs)

The ListConnectionTypes API provides a discovery mechanism to learn available connection types in Glue. The response contains a list of connection types with high-level details of what is supported for each connection type. The connection types listed are the set of supported options for the ConnectionType value in the CreateConnection API.

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • ConnectionTypes (list) –

      A list of ConnectionTypeBrief objects containing brief information about the supported connection types.

      • (dict) –

        Brief information about a supported connection type returned by the ListConnectionTypes API.

        • ConnectionType (string) –

          The name of the connection type.

        • DisplayName (string) –

          The human-readable name for the connection type that is displayed in the Glue console.

        • Vendor (string) –

          The name of the vendor or provider that created or maintains this connection type.

        • Description (string) –

          A description of the connection type.

        • Categories (list) –

          A list of categories that this connection type belongs to. Categories help users filter and find appropriate connection types based on their use cases.

          • (string) –

        • Capabilities (dict) –

          The supported authentication types, data interface types (compute environments), and data operations of the connector.

          • SupportedAuthenticationTypes (list) –

            A list of supported authentication types.

            • (string) –

          • SupportedDataOperations (list) –

            A list of supported data operations.

            • (string) –

          • SupportedComputeEnvironments (list) –

          The URL of the logo associated with a connection type.

        • ConnectionTypeVariants (list) –

          A list of variants available for this connection type. Different variants may provide specialized configurations for specific use cases or implementations of the same general connection type.

          • (dict) –

            Represents a variant of a connection type in Glue Data Catalog. Connection type variants provide specific configurations and behaviors for different implementations of the same general connection type.

            • ConnectionTypeVariantName (string) –

              The unique identifier for the connection type variant. This name is used internally to identify the specific variant of a connection type.

            • DisplayName (string) –
