Response Structure

  • (dict) --

    • executionArn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that id entifies the execution.

    • stateMachineArn (string) --

      The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the executed stated machine.

    • name (string) --

      The name of the execution.

      A name must not contain:

      • white space

      • brackets < > { } [ ]

      • wildcard characters ? *

      • special characters " # % \ ^ | ~ ` $ & , ; : /

      • control characters (U+0000-001F , U+007F-009F )

      To enable logging with CloudWatch Logs, the name should only contain 0-9, A-Z, a-z, - and _.

    • status (string) --

      The current status of the execution.

    • startDate (datetime) --

      The date the execution is started.

    • stopDate (datetime) --

      If the execution has already ended, the date the execution stopped.

    • input (string) --

      The string that contains the JSON input data of the execution. Length constraints apply to the payload size, and are expressed as bytes in UTF-8 encoding.

    • inputDetails (dict) --

      Provides details about execution input.

      • included (boolean) --

        Indicates whether input or output was included in the response. Always true for API calls, but may be false for CloudWatch Events.

    • output (string) --

      The JSON output data of the execution. Length constraints apply to the payload size, and are expressed as bytes in UTF-8 encoding.

      Note

      This field is set only if the execution succeeds. If the execution fails, this field is null.

    • outputDetails (dict) --

      Provides details about execution input.

      • included (boolean) --

        Indicates whether input or output was included in the response. Always true for API calls, but may be false for CloudWatch Events.

            'taskSucceededEventDetails': {'outputDetails': {'truncated': 'boolean'}}}}

Returns the history of the specified execution as a list of events. By default, the results are returned in ascending order of the timeStamp of the events. Use the reverseOrder parameter to get the latest events first.

If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.

This API action is not supported by EXPRESS state machines.

Request Syntax

client.get_execution_history(
    executionArn='string',
    maxResults=123,
    reverseOrder=True|False,
    nextToken='string',
    includeExecutionData=True|False
)
type executionArn

string

param executionArn

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the execution.

type maxResults

integer

param maxResults

The maximum number of results that are returned per call. You can use nextToken to obtain further pages of results. The default is 100 and the maximum allowed page size is 1000. A value of 0 uses the default.

This is only an upper limit. The actual number of results returned per call might be fewer than the specified maximum.

type reverseOrder

boolean

param reverseOrder

Lists events in descending order of their timeStamp .

type nextToken

string

param nextToken

If nextToken is returned, there are more results available. The value of nextToken is a unique pagination token for each page. Make the call again using the returned token to retrieve the next page. Keep all other arguments unchanged. Each pagination token expires after 24 hours. Using an expired pagination token will return an HTTP 400 InvalidToken error.

type includeExecutionData

boolean

param includeExecutionData

You can select whether execution data (input or output of a history event) is returned. The default is true .

rtype

dict

returns
