Request body

Namestring required

The name of the web ACL. You cannot change the name of a web ACL after you create it.

Scope'CLOUDFRONT' | 'REGIONAL' required
<p>Specifies whether this is for an Amazon CloudFront distribution or for a regional application. A regional application can be an Application Load Balancer (ALB), an Amazon API Gateway REST API, an AppSync GraphQL API, an Amazon Cognito user pool, or an App Runner service. </p> <p>To work with CloudFront, you must also specify the Region US East (N. Virginia) as follows: </p> <ul> <li> <p>CLI - Specify the Region when you use the CloudFront scope: <code>--scope=CLOUDFRONT --region=us-east-1</code>. </p> </li> <li> <p>API and SDKs - For all calls, use the Region endpoint us-east-1. </p> </li> </ul>
Idstring required

The unique identifier for the web ACL. This ID is returned in the responses to create and list commands. You provide it to operations like update and delete.

LockTokenstring required

A token used for optimistic locking. WAF returns a token to your <code>get</code> and <code>list</code> requests, to mark the state of the entity at the time of the request. To make changes to the entity associated with the token, you provide the token to operations like <code>update</code> and <code>delete</code>. WAF uses the token to ensure that no changes have been made to the entity since you last retrieved it. If a change has been made, the update fails with a <code>WAFOptimisticLockException</code>. If this happens, perform another <code>get</code>, and use the new token returned by that operation.

Response

Success
