Iterate through aws workspaces using python boto3

Question

I am trying to print all the AWS Workspaces available in a specific region.

I have tried using the code :

import boto3
client = boto3.client('workspaces')
counter = client.describe_workspaces()
print counter()

But "print counter()" is print a lot of values which I am not sure about, how can I store the Workspace ID in the "counter" variable so that I can iterate through them.

Answer 1

WorkspaceID is part of the response, all you need to do is iterate through the list returned. docs

Answer 2

You can get a list of IDs like this,

import boto3
client = boto3.client('workspaces')

workspaces = client.describe_workspaces()['Workspaces']
workspaceIds = [workspace['WorkspaceId'] for workspace in workspaces]
