GetConfiguration is a priced call. For more information, see Pricing.
The clientId parameter in the following command is a unique, user-specified ID to identify the client for the configuration. This ID enables AppConfig to deploy the configuration in intervals, as defined in the deployment strategy.
client_configuration_versionstring
<p>The configuration version returned in the most recent <code>GetConfiguration</code> response.</p> <important> <p>AppConfig uses the value of the <code>ClientConfigurationVersion</code> parameter to identify the configuration version on your clients. If you don’t send <code>ClientConfigurationVersion</code> with each call to <code>GetConfiguration</code>, your clients receive the current configuration. You are charged each time your clients receive a configuration.</p> <p>To avoid excess charges, we recommend you use the <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/2019-10-09/APIReference/StartConfigurationSession.html">StartConfigurationSession</a> and <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/2019-10-09/APIReference/GetLatestConfiguration.html">GetLatestConfiguration</a> APIs, which track the client configuration version on your behalf. If you choose to continue using <code>GetConfiguration</code>, we recommend that you include the <code>ClientConfigurationVersion</code> value with every call to <code>GetConfiguration</code>. The value to use for <code>ClientConfigurationVersion</code> comes from the <code>ConfigurationVersion</code> attribute returned by <code>GetConfiguration</code> when there is new or updated data, and should be saved for subsequent calls to <code>GetConfiguration</code>.</p> </important> <p>For more information about working with configurations, see <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/latest/userguide/appconfig-retrieving-the-configuration.html">Retrieving the Configuration</a> in the <i>AppConfig User Guide</i>.</p>
