This is the CloudTrail API Reference. It provides descriptions of actions, data\ntypes, common parameters, and common errors for CloudTrail.
\nCloudTrail is a web service that records Amazon Web Services API calls for your\nAmazon Web Services account and delivers log files to an Amazon S3 bucket. The\nrecorded information includes the identity of the user, the start time of the Amazon Web Services API call, the source IP address, the request parameters, and the response\nelements returned by the service.
\nAs an alternative to the API, you can use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs, which\nconsist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms\n(Java, Ruby, .NET, iOS, Android, etc.). The SDKs provide programmatic access to CloudTrail. For example, the SDKs handle cryptographically signing requests,\nmanaging errors, and retrying requests automatically. For more information about the\nAmazon Web Services SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Tools to Build on Amazon Web Services.
\nSee the CloudTrail\nUser Guide for information about the data that is included with each Amazon Web Services API call listed in the log files.
\n\n## Installing\n\nTo install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:\n\n- `npm install @aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail`\n- `yarn add @aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail`\n- `pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail`\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Import\n\nThe AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands.\nTo send a request, you only need to import the `CloudTrailClient` and\nthe commands you need, for example `ListImportsCommand`:\n\n```js\n// ES5 example\nconst { CloudTrailClient, ListImportsCommand } = require(\"@aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail\");\n```\n\n```ts\n// ES6+ example\nimport { CloudTrailClient, ListImportsCommand } from \"@aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail\";\n```\n\n### Usage\n\nTo send a request:\n\n- Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).\n - See [docs/CLIENTS](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/CLIENTS.md) for configuration details.\n - See [@aws-sdk/config](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/packages/config/README.md) for additional options.\n- Instantiate a command with input parameters.\n- Call the `send` operation on the client, providing the command object as input.\n\n```js\nconst client = new CloudTrailClient({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\nconst params = { /** input parameters */ };\nconst command = new ListImportsCommand(params);\n```\n\n#### Async/await\n\nWe recommend using the [await](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/await)\noperator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:\n\n```js\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n} finally {\n // finally.\n}\n```\n\n#### Promises\n\nYou can also use [Promise chaining](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Using_promises#chaining).\n\n```js\nclient\n .send(command)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n })\n .finally(() => {\n // finally.\n });\n```\n\n#### Aggregated client\n\nThe aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the \"Client\" suffix.\n\n`CloudTrail` extends `CloudTrailClient` and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods.\nThis style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.\n\nIf you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (`CloudTrailClient`).\nMore details are in the blog post on\n[modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/modular-packages-in-aws-sdk-for-javascript/).\n\n```ts\nimport { CloudTrail } from \"@aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail\";\n\nconst client = new CloudTrail({ region: \"REGION\" });\n\n// async/await.\ntry {\n const data = await client.listImports(params);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n // error handling.\n}\n\n// Promises.\nclient\n .listImports(params)\n .then((data) => {\n // process data.\n })\n .catch((error) => {\n // error handling.\n });\n\n// callbacks (not recommended).\nclient.listImports(params, (err, data) => {\n // process err and data.\n});\n```\n\n### Troubleshooting\n\nWhen the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information,\nas well as response metadata (e.g. request id).\n\n```js\ntry {\n const data = await client.send(command);\n // process data.\n} catch (error) {\n const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;\n console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });\n /**\n * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.\n * You can access them by specifying exception names:\n * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {\n * const value = error.specialKeyInException;\n * }\n */\n}\n```\n\nSee also [docs/ERROR_HANDLING](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/blob/main/supplemental-docs/ERROR_HANDLING.md).\n\n## Getting Help\n\nPlease use these community resources for getting help.\nWe use GitHub issues for tracking bugs and feature requests, but have limited bandwidth to address them.\n\n- Visit the [Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v3/developer-guide/welcome.html)\n or [API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/v3/latest/index.html).\n- Check out the blog posts tagged with [`aws-sdk-js`](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/developer/tag/aws-sdk-js/)\n on AWS Developer Blog.\n- Ask a question on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/aws-sdk-js) and tag it with `aws-sdk-js`.\n- Join the AWS JavaScript community on [gitter](https://gitter.im/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3).\n- If it turns out that you may have found a bug, please [open an issue](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/new/choose).\n\nTo test your universal JavaScript code in Node.js, browser and react-native environments,\nvisit our [code samples repo](https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-sdk-js-tests).\n\n## Contributing\n\nThis client code is generated automatically. Any modifications will be overwritten the next time the `@aws-sdk/client-cloudtrail` package is updated.\nTo contribute to client you can check our [generate clients scripts](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/tree/main/scripts/generate-clients).\n\n## License\n\nThis SDK is distributed under the\n[Apache License, Version 2.0](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0),\nsee LICENSE for more information.\n\n## Client Commands (Operations List)\n\n
