Overview

Response

Each Service has a Client class. There is one method per service operation defined on the client. These methods all return a Response object.

In addition to the response data, these responses provide metadata about the HTTP request made and the HTTP response received.

Response Data

You can access the response data for a client request using the #data method or the #[] method. Response data is a hash and #[] is a shortcut for accessing this hash.

# make a request to describe one instance
ec2 = AWS::EC2.new
response = ec2.client.describe_instances(:instance_ids => ['i-12345678'])

# find the instance in the response data (2 ways to get the data)
instance = response[:reservation_set].first[:instance_set].first
instance = response.data[:reservation_set].first[:instance_set].first

instance[:status] #=> 'running'

Response Metadata

In addition to the response data, there is additional information available with the response, including:

Given the example and response object from above:

response.request_type #=> :describe_instances
response.request_options #=> { :instance_ids => ['i-12345678'] }
response.http_request #=> #<AWS::Core::Http::Request>
response.http_response #=> #<AWS::Core::Http::Response>

def initialize http_request = nil, http_response = nil, &block
  @http_request = http_request
  @http_response = http_response
  @request_builder = block
  @data = {}
  @retry_count = 0
  @duration = 0
  build_request if @request_builder && !http_request
end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(*args, &block) ⇒ Object (protected)

Note:

The prefered method to get as response data is to use #[].

This provides a backwards-compat layer to the old response objects where each response value had a method extended onto this object. Now all response data is accessible as a hash.
