Returns the metadata, structure, stages, and actions of a pipeline. Can be used to return the entire structure of a pipeline in JSON format, which can then be modified and used to update the pipeline structure with UpdatePipeline.
Inputs
Field
Type
Description
region [required]
enum
default: us-east-1
name [required]
string
The name of the pipeline for which you want to get information. Pipeline names must be unique in an Amazon Web Services account.
version
number
The version number of the pipeline. If you do not specify a version, defaults to the current version.

Field
Type
Description
amzRequestId [required]
string
pipeline
object
Represents the structure of actions and stages to be performed in the pipeline.
name [required]
string
The name of the pipeline.
roleArn [required]
string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for CodePipeline to use to either perform actions with no actionRoleArn, or to use to assume roles for actions with an actionRoleArn.
artifactStore
object
Represents information about the S3 bucket where artifacts are stored for the pipeline. You must include either artifactStore or artifactStores in your pipeline, but you cannot use both. If you create a cross-region action in your pipeline, you must use artifactStores.
type [required]
string
The type of the artifact store, such as S3.
location [required]
string
The S3 bucket used for storing the artifacts for a pipeline. You can specify the name of an S3 bucket but not a folder in the bucket. A folder to contain the pipeline artifacts is created for you based on the name of the pipeline. You can use any S3 bucket in the same Amazon Web Services Region as the pipeline to store your pipeline artifacts.
encryptionKey
object
The encryption key used to encrypt the data in the artifact store, such as an Amazon Web Services Key Management Service key. If this is undefined, the default key for Amazon S3 is used.
id [required]
string
The ID used to identify the key. For an Amazon Web Services KMS key, you can use the key ID, the key ARN, or the alias ARN. Aliases are recognized only in the account that created the KMS key. For cross-account actions, you can only use the key ID or key ARN to identify the key. Cross-account actions involve using the role from the other account (AccountB), so specifying the key ID will use the key from the other account (AccountB).
type [required]
string
The type of encryption key, such as an Amazon Web Services KMS key. When creating or updating a pipeline, the value must be set to 'KMS'.
artifactStores
object
A mapping of artifactStore objects and their corresponding Amazon Web Services Regions. There must be an artifact store for the pipeline Region and for each cross-region action in the pipeline. You must include either artifactStore or artifactStores in your pipeline, but you cannot use both. If you create a cross-region action in your pipeline, you must use artifactStores.
stages [required]
[object]
The stage in which to perform the action.
name [required]
string
The name of the stage.
blockers
[object]
Reserved for future use.
name [required]
string
Reserved for future use.
type [required]
string
Reserved for future use.
actions [required]
[object]
The actions included in a stage.
name [required]
string
The action declaration's name.
actionTypeId [required]
object
Specifies the action type and the provider of the action.
category [required]
string
A category defines what kind of action can be taken in the stage, and constrains the provider type for the action. Valid categories are limited to one of the following values. Source Build Test Deploy Invoke Approval
owner [required]
string
The creator of the action being called. There are three valid values for the Owner field in the action category section within your pipeline structure: AWS, ThirdParty, and Custom. For more information, see Valid Action Types and Providers in CodePipeline.
provider [required]
string
The provider of the service being called by the action. Valid providers are determined by the action category. For example, an action in the Deploy category type might have a provider of CodeDeploy, which would be specified as CodeDeploy. For more information, see Valid Action Types and Providers in CodePipeline.
version [required]
string
A string that describes the action version.
runOrder
number
The order in which actions are run.
configuration
object
The action's configuration. These are key-value pairs that specify input values for an action. For more information, see Action Structure Requirements in CodePipeline. For the list of configuration properties for the CloudFormation action type in CodePipeline, see Configuration Properties Reference in the CloudFormation User Guide. For template snippets with examples, see Using Parameter Override Functions with CodePipeline Pipelines in the CloudFormation User Guide. The values can be represented in either JSON or YAML format. For example, the JSON configuration item format is as follows: JSON: "Configuration" : { Key : Value },
outputArtifacts
[object]
The name or ID of the result of the action declaration, such as a test or build artifact.
name [required]
string
The name of the output of an artifact, such as "My App". The input artifact of an action must exactly match the output artifact declared in a preceding action, but the input artifact does not have to be the next action in strict sequence from the action that provided the output artifact. Actions in parallel can declare different output artifacts, which are in turn consumed by different following actions. Output artifact names must be unique within a pipeline.
inputArtifacts
[object]
The name or ID of the artifact consumed by the action, such as a test or build artifact.
name [required]
string
The name of the artifact to be worked on (for example, "My App"). Artifacts are the files that are worked on by actions in the pipeline. See the action configuration for each action for details about artifact parameters. For example, the S3 source action input artifact is a file name (or file path), and the files are generally provided as a ZIP file. Example artifact name: SampleApp_Windows.zip The input artifact of an action must exactly match the output artifact declared in a preceding action, but the input artifact does not have to be the next action in strict sequence from the action that provided the output artifact. Actions in parallel can declare different output artifacts, which are in turn consumed by different following actions.
roleArn
string
The ARN of the IAM service role that performs the declared action. This is assumed through the roleArn for the pipeline.
region
string
The action declaration's Amazon Web Services Region, such as us-east-1.
namespace
string
The variable namespace associated with the action. All variables produced as output by this action fall under this namespace.
timeoutInMinutes
number
A timeout duration in minutes that can be applied against the ActionType’s default timeout value specified in Quotas for CodePipeline . This attribute is available only to the manual approval ActionType.
onFailure
object
The method to use when a stage has not completed successfully. For example, configuring this field for rollback will roll back a failed stage automatically to the last successful pipeline execution in the stage.
result
string
The specified result for when the failure conditions are met, such as rolling back the stage.
version
number
The version number of the pipeline. A new pipeline always has a version number of 1. This number is incremented when a pipeline is updated.
executionMode
string
The method that the pipeline will use to handle multiple executions. The default mode is SUPERSEDED.
pipelineType
string
CodePipeline provides the following pipeline types, which differ in characteristics and price, so that you can tailor your pipeline features and cost to the needs of your applications. V1 type pipelines have a JSON structure that contains standard pipeline, stage, and action-level parameters. V2 type pipelines have the same structure as a V1 type, along with additional parameters for release safety and trigger configuration. Including V2 parameters, such as triggers on Git tags, in the pipeline JSON when creating or updating a pipeline will result in the pipeline having the V2 type of pipeline and the associated costs. For information about pricing for CodePipeline, see Pricing. For information about which type of pipeline to choose, see What type of pipeline is right for me?.
