Request Syntax

response = client.list_keys(
    Limit=123,
    Marker='string'
)
Parameters:

  • Limit (integer) –

    Use this parameter to specify the maximum number of items to return. When this value is present, KMS does not return more than the specified number of items, but it might return fewer.

    This value is optional. If you include a value, it must be between 1 and 1000, inclusive. If you do not include a value, it defaults to 100.

  • Marker (string) – Use this parameter in a subsequent request after you receive a response with truncated results. Set it to the value of NextMarker from the truncated response you just received.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

Response Syntax

{
    'Keys': [
        {
            'KeyId': 'string',
            'KeyArn': 'string'
        },
    ],
    'NextMarker': 'string',

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • Keys (list) –

      A list of KMS keys.

      • (dict) –

        Contains information about each entry in the key list.

        • KeyId (string) –

          Unique identifier of the key.

        • KeyArn (string) –

          ARN of the key.

    • NextMarker (string) –

      When Truncated is true, this element is present and contains the value to use for the Marker parameter in a subsequent request.

    • Truncated (boolean) –

      A flag that indicates whether there are more items in the list. When this value is true, the list in this response is truncated. To get more items, pass the value of the NextMarker element in this response to the Marker parameter in a subsequent request.
