type QueueUrl

string

param QueueUrl

[REQUIRED]

The URL of the Amazon SQS queue to which a message is sent.

Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.

type MessageBody

string

param MessageBody

[REQUIRED]

The message to send. The maximum string size is 256 KB.

Warning

A message can include only XML, JSON, and unformatted text. The following Unicode characters are allowed:

#x9 | #xA | #xD | #x20 to #xD7FF | #xE000 to #xFFFD | #x10000 to #x10FFFF

type DelaySeconds

integer

param DelaySeconds

The length of time, in seconds, for which to delay a specific message. Valid values: 0 to 900. Maximum: 15 minutes. Messages with a positive DelaySeconds value become available for processing after the delay period is finished. If you don't specify a value, the default value for the queue applies.

Note

When you set FifoQueue , you can't set DelaySeconds per message. You can set this parameter only on a queue level.

type MessageAttributes

dict

param MessageAttributes

Each message attribute consists of a Name , Type , and Value . For more information, see Amazon SQS Message Attributes in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .

• (string) --

  • (dict) --

    The user-specified message attribute value. For string data types, the Value attribute has the same restrictions on the content as the message body. For more information, see `` SendMessage .``

    Name , type , value and the message body must not be empty or null. All parts of the message attribute, including Name , Type , and Value , are part of the message size restriction (256 KB or 262,144 bytes).

    • StringValue (string) --

      Strings are Unicode with UTF-8 binary encoding. For a list of code values, see ASCII Printable Characters .

    • BinaryValue (bytes) --

      Binary type attributes can store any binary data, such as compressed data, encrypted data, or images.

      Amazon SQS supports the following logical data types: String , Number , and Binary . For the Number data type, you must use StringValue .

      You can also append custom labels. For more information, see Amazon SQS Message Attributes in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .

type MessageSystemAttributes

dict

param MessageSystemAttributes

The message system attribute to send. Each message system attribute consists of a Name , Type , and Value .

Warning

• Currently, the only supported message system attribute is AWSTraceHeader . Its type must be String and its value must be a correctly formatted AWS X-Ray trace string.

• The size of a message system attribute doesn't count towards the total size of a message.

• (string) --

  • (dict) --

    The user-specified message system attribute value. For string data types, the Value attribute has the same restrictions on the content as the message body. For more information, see `` SendMessage .``

      You can also append custom labels. For more information, see Amazon SQS Message Attributes in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .

type MessageDeduplicationId

string

param MessageDeduplicationId

This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.

The token used for deduplication of sent messages. If a message with a particular MessageDeduplicationId is sent successfully, any messages sent with the same MessageDeduplicationId are accepted successfully but aren't delivered during the 5-minute deduplication interval. For more information, see Exactly-Once Processing in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .

• Every message must have a unique MessageDeduplicationId ,

  • You may provide a MessageDeduplicationId explicitly.

  • If you aren't able to provide a MessageDeduplicationId and you enable ContentBasedDeduplication for your queue, Amazon SQS uses a SHA-256 hash to generate the MessageDeduplicationId using the body of the message (but not the attributes of the message).

  • If you don't provide a MessageDeduplicationId and the queue doesn't have ContentBasedDeduplication set, the action fails with an error.

  • If the queue has ContentBasedDeduplication set, your MessageDeduplicationId overrides the generated one.

• When ContentBasedDeduplication is in effect, messages with identical content sent within the deduplication interval are treated as duplicates and only one copy of the message is delivered.

• If you send one message with ContentBasedDeduplication enabled and then another message with a MessageDeduplicationId that is the same as the one generated for the first MessageDeduplicationId , the two messages are treated as duplicates and only one copy of the message is delivered.

Note

The MessageDeduplicationId is available to the consumer of the message (this can be useful for troubleshooting delivery issues).

If a message is sent successfully but the acknowledgement is lost and the message is resent with the same MessageDeduplicationId after the deduplication interval, Amazon SQS can't detect duplicate messages.

Amazon SQS continues to keep track of the message deduplication ID even after the message is received and deleted.

The length of MessageDeduplicationId is 128 characters. MessageDeduplicationId can contain alphanumeric characters (a-z , A-Z , 0-9 ) and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ ).

For best practices of using MessageDeduplicationId , see Using the MessageDeduplicationId Property in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .

type MessageGroupId

string

param MessageGroupId

This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.

The tag that specifies that a message belongs to a specific message group. Messages that belong to the same message group are processed in a FIFO manner (however, messages in different message groups might be processed out of order). To interleave multiple ordered streams within a single queue, use MessageGroupId values (for example, session data for multiple users). In this scenario, multiple consumers can process the queue, but the session data of each user is processed in a FIFO fashion.

• You must associate a non-empty MessageGroupId with a message. If you don't provide a MessageGroupId , the action fails.

• ReceiveMessage might return messages with multiple MessageGroupId values. For each MessageGroupId , the messages are sorted by time sent. The caller can't specify a MessageGroupId .

The length of MessageGroupId is 128 characters. Valid values: alphanumeric characters and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~) .

For best practices of using MessageGroupId , see Using the MessageGroupId Property in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .

Warning

MessageGroupId is required for FIFO queues. You can't use it for Standard queues.

  • MD5OfMessageAttributes (string) --

    An MD5 digest of the non-URL-encoded message attribute string. You can use this attribute to verify that Amazon SQS received the message correctly. Amazon SQS URL-decodes the message before creating the MD5 digest. For information about MD5, see RFC1321 .

  • MD5OfMessageSystemAttributes (string) --

    An MD5 digest of the non-URL-encoded message system attribute string. You can use this attribute to verify that Amazon SQS received the message correctly. Amazon SQS URL-decodes the message before creating the MD5 digest.

  • MessageId (string) --

    An attribute containing the MessageId of the message sent to the queue. For more information, see Queue and Message Identifiers in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .

  • SequenceNumber (string) --

    This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.

    The large, non-consecutive number that Amazon SQS assigns to each message.

    The length of SequenceNumber is 128 bits. SequenceNumber continues to increase for a particular MessageGroupId .

{'Successful': {'MD5OfMessageSystemAttributes': 'string'}}

Delivers up to ten messages to the specified queue. This is a batch version of `` SendMessage .`` For a FIFO queue, multiple messages within a single batch are enqueued in the order they are sent.

The result of sending each message is reported individually in the response. Because the batch request can result in a combination of successful and unsuccessful actions, you should check for batch errors even when the call returns an HTTP status code of 200 .

The maximum allowed individual message size and the maximum total payload size (the sum of the individual lengths of all of the batched messages) are both 256 KB (262,144 bytes).

If you don't specify the DelaySeconds parameter for an entry, Amazon SQS uses the default value for the queue.

Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:

&Attribute.1=first

&Attribute.2=second
