Options
--channel-arn (string)
--stream-id (string)
streamId is provided, this returns the most recent stream session for the channel, if it exists.--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
Global Options
--debug (boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url (string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate (boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output (string)
The formatting style for command output.
- json
- text
- table
- yaml
- yaml-stream
--query (string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile (string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region (string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version (string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color (string)
Turn on/off color output.
- on
- off
- auto
--no-sign-request (boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle (string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout (int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout (int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format (string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.
- base64
- raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager (boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
Examples
Note
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
To get metadata for a specified stream
The following get-stream-session example gets the metadata configuration for the specified channel ARN (Amazon Resource Name) and the specified stream; if streamId is not provided, the most recent stream for the channel is selected.

Indicates which renditions are recorded for a stream, if renditionSelection is CUSTOM ; otherwise, this field is irrelevant. The selected renditions are recorded if they are available during the stream. If a selected rendition is unavailable, the best available rendition is recorded. For details on the resolution dimensions of each rendition, see Auto-Record to Amazon S3 .
(string)
state -> (string)
ACTIVE , the configuration is ready for recording a channel stream.tags -> (map)
Tags attached to the resource. Array of 1-50 maps, each of the form string:string (key:value) .

key -> (string)
value -> (string)
thumbnailConfiguration -> (structure)
A complex type that allows you to enable/disable the recording of thumbnails for a live session and modify the interval at which thumbnails are generated for the live session.
recordingMode -> (string)
INTERVAL .resolution -> (string)
storage -> (list)
Indicates the format in which thumbnails are recorded. SEQUENTIAL records all generated thumbnails in a serial manner, to the media/thumbnails directory. LATEST saves the latest thumbnail in media/latest_thumbnail/thumb.jpg and overwrites it at the interval specified by targetIntervalSeconds . You can enable both SEQUENTIAL and LATEST . Default: SEQUENTIAL .
(string)
targetIntervalSeconds -> (long)
The targeted thumbnail-generation interval in seconds. This is configurable (and required) only if recordingMode is INTERVAL . Default: 60.
BASIC channel type, or the STANDARD channel type with multitrack input, setting a value for targetIntervalSeconds does not guarantee that thumbnails are generated at the specified interval. For thumbnails to be generated at the targetIntervalSeconds interval, the IDR/Keyframe value for the input video must be less than the targetIntervalSeconds value. See Amazon IVS Streaming Configuration for information on setting IDR/Keyframe to the recommended value in video-encoder settings.startTime -> (timestamp)
streamId -> (string)
truncatedEvents -> (list)
List of Amazon IVS events that the stream encountered. The list is sorted by most recent events and contains up to 500 events. For Amazon IVS events, see Using Amazon EventBridge with Amazon IVS .
(structure)
Object specifying a stream’s events. For a list of events, see Using Amazon EventBridge with Amazon IVS .
code -> (string)
Provides additional details about the stream event. There are several values; the long descriptions are provided in the IVS console but not delivered through the IVS API or EventBridge. Multitrack-related codes are used only for certain Session Ended events.
-
MultitrackInputNotAllowed— The broadcast client attempted to connect with multitrack input, but multitrack input was not enabled on the channel. Check your broadcast software settings or setMultitrackInputConfiguration.PolicytoALLOWorREQUIRE. -
MultitrackInputRequired— The broadcast client attempted to connect with single-track video, but multitrack input is required on this channel. Enable multitrack video in your broadcast software or configure the channel’sMultitrackInputConfiguration.PolicytoALLOW. -
InvalidGetClientConfigurationStreamKey— The broadcast client attempted to connect with an invalid, expired, or corrupt stream key. -
GetClientConfigurationStreamKeyRequired— The broadcast client attempted to stream multitrack video without providing an authenticated stream key from GetClientConfiguration. -
InvalidMultitrackInputTrackCount— The multitrack input stream contained an invalid number of tracks. -
InvalidMultitrackInputVideoTrackMediaProperties— The multitrack input stream contained one or more tracks with an invalid codec, resolution, bitrate, or framerate. -
StreamTakeoverMediaMismatch— The broadcast client attempted to take over with different media properties (e.g., codec, resolution, or video track type) from the original stream. -
StreamTakeoverInvalidPriority— The broadcast client attempted a takeover with either a priority integer value equal to or lower than the original stream’s value or a value outside the allowed range of 1 to 2,147,483,647.StreamTakeoverLimitBreached— The broadcast client reached the maximum allowed takeover attempts for this stream.
