Request Syntax

response = client.start_command_execution(
    targetArn='string',
    commandArn='string',
    parameters={
        'string': {
            'S': 'string',
            'B': True|False,
            'I': 123,
            'L': 123,
            'D': 123.0,
            'BIN': b'bytes',
            'UL': 'string'
        }
    },
    executionTimeoutSeconds=123,
    clientToken='string'
)
Parameters:

  • targetArn (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the device where the command execution is occurring.

  • commandArn (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the command. For example, arn:aws:iot:<region>:<accountid>:command/<commandName>

  • parameters (dict) –

    A list of parameters that are required by the StartCommandExecution API when performing the command on a device.

    • (string) –

      • (dict) –

        The list of values used to describe a specific command parameter.

        • S (string) –

          An attribute of type String. For example:

          "S": "Hello"

        • B (boolean) –

          An attribute of type Boolean. For example:

          "BOOL": true

        • I (integer) –

          An attribute of type Integer (Thirty-Two Bits).

        • L (integer) –

          An attribute of type Long.

        • D (float) –

          An attribute of type Double (Sixty-Four Bits).

        • BIN (bytes) –

          An attribute of type Binary.

        • UL (string) –

          An attribute of type Unsigned Long.

  • executionTimeoutSeconds (integer) – Specifies the amount of time in second the device has to finish the command execution. A timer is started as soon as the command execution is created. If the command execution status is not set to another terminal state before the timer expires, it will automatically update to TIMED_OUT.

  • clientToken (string) –

    The client token is used to implement idempotency. It ensures that the request completes no more than one time. If you retry a request with the same token and the same parameters, the request will complete successfully. However, if you retry the request using the same token but different parameters, an HTTP 409 conflict occurs. If you omit this value, Amazon Web Services SDKs will automatically generate a unique client request.

    This field is autopopulated if not provided.
