Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic Regional documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

This is the AWS WAF Regional Classic API Reference for using AWS WAF Classic with the AWS resources, Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) Application Load Balancers and API Gateway APIs. The AWS WAF Classic actions and data types listed in the reference are available for protecting Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) Application Load Balancers and API Gateway APIs. You can use these actions and data types by means of the endpoints listed in AWS Regions and Endpoints. This guide is for developers who need detailed information about the AWS WAF Classic API actions, data types, and errors. For detailed information about AWS WAF Classic features and an overview of how to use the AWS WAF Classic API, see the AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide.

Sending a Request Using WAFRegional

var wafregional = new AWS.WAFRegional();
wafregional.associateWebACL(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the WAFRegional object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var wafregional = new AWS.WAFRegional({apiVersion: '2016-11-28'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the wafregional service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  wafregional: '2016-11-28',
  // other service API versions
};

var wafregional = new AWS.WAFRegional();

Method Details

associateWebACL(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic Regional documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Associates a web ACL with a resource, either an application load balancer or Amazon API Gateway stage.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the associateWebACL operation

var params = {
  ResourceArn: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  WebACLId: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
wafregional.associateWebACL(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • WebACLId — (String)

      A unique identifier (ID) for the web ACL.

    • ResourceArn — (String)

      The ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the resource to be protected, either an application load balancer or Amazon API Gateway stage.

      The ARN should be in one of the following formats:

      • For an Application Load Balancer: arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:region:account-id:loadbalancer/app/load-balancer-name/load-balancer-id

      • For an Amazon API Gateway stage: arn:aws:apigateway:region::/restapis/api-id/stages/stage-name

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createByteMatchSet(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates a ByteMatchSet. You then use UpdateByteMatchSet to identify the part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect, such as the values of the User-Agent header or the query string. For example, you can create a ByteMatchSet that matches any requests with User-Agent headers that contain the string BadBot. You can then configure AWS WAF to reject those requests.

To create and configure a ByteMatchSet, perform the following steps:

  1. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateByteMatchSet request.

  2. Submit a CreateByteMatchSet request.

  3. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateByteMatchSet request.

  4. Submit an UpdateByteMatchSet request to specify the part of the request that you want AWS WAF to inspect (for example, the header or the URI) and the value that you want AWS WAF to watch for.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

Service Reference:

Examples:

Calling the createByteMatchSet operation

var params = {
  ChangeToken: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  Name: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
wafregional.createByteMatchSet(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • Name — (String)

      A friendly name or description of the ByteMatchSet. You can't change Name after you create a ByteMatchSet.

    • ChangeToken — (String)

      The value returned by the most recent call to GetChangeToken.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • ByteMatchSet — (map)

        A ByteMatchSet that contains no ByteMatchTuple objects.

        • ByteMatchSetIdrequired — (String)

          The ByteMatchSetId for a ByteMatchSet. You use ByteMatchSetId to get information about a ByteMatchSet (see GetByteMatchSet), update a ByteMatchSet (see UpdateByteMatchSet), insert a ByteMatchSet into a Rule or delete one from a Rule (see UpdateRule), and delete a ByteMatchSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteByteMatchSet).

          ByteMatchSetId is returned by CreateByteMatchSet and by ListByteMatchSets.

        • Name — (String)

          A friendly name or description of the ByteMatchSet. You can't change Name after you create a ByteMatchSet.

        • ByteMatchTuplesrequired — (Array<map>)

          Specifies the bytes (typically a string that corresponds with ASCII characters) that you want AWS WAF to search for in web requests, the location in requests that you want AWS WAF to search, and other settings.

          • FieldToMatchrequired — (map)

            The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to search, such as a specified header or a query string. For more information, see FieldToMatch.

            • Typerequired — (String)

              The part of the web request that you want AWS WAF to search for a specified string. Parts of a request that you can search include the following:

              • HEADER: A specified request header, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header. If you choose HEADER for the type, specify the name of the header in Data.

              • METHOD: The HTTP method, which indicated the type of operation that the request is asking the origin to perform. Amazon CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT.

              • QUERY_STRING: A query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character, if any.

              • URI: The part of a web request that identifies a resource, for example, /images/daily-ad.jpg.

              • BODY: The part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. The request body immediately follows the request headers. Note that only the first 8192 bytes of the request body are forwarded to AWS WAF for inspection. To allow or block requests based on the length of the body, you can create a size constraint set. For more information, see CreateSizeConstraintSet.

              • SINGLE_QUERY_ARG: The parameter in the query string that you will inspect, such as UserName or SalesRegion. The maximum length for SINGLE_QUERY_ARG is 30 characters.

              • ALL_QUERY_ARGS: Similar to SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, but rather than inspecting a single parameter, AWS WAF will inspect all parameters within the query for the value or regex pattern that you specify in TargetString.

              Possible values include:
              • "URI"
              • "QUERY_STRING"
              • "HEADER"
              • "METHOD"
              • "BODY"
              • "SINGLE_QUERY_ARG"
              • "ALL_QUERY_ARGS"
            • Data — (String)

              When the value of Type is HEADER, enter the name of the header that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, User-Agent or Referer. The name of the header is not case sensitive.

              When the value of Type is SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, enter the name of the parameter that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, UserName or SalesRegion. The parameter name is not case sensitive.

              If the value of Type is any other value, omit Data.

          • TargetStringrequired — (Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String)

            The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. AWS WAF searches for the specified string in the part of web requests that you specified in FieldToMatch. The maximum length of the value is 50 bytes.

            Valid values depend on the values that you specified for FieldToMatch:

            • HEADER: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the request header that you specified in FieldToMatch, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header.

            • METHOD: The HTTP method, which indicates the type of operation specified in the request. CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT.

            • QUERY_STRING: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character.

            • URI: The value that you want AWS WAF to search for in the part of a URL that identifies a resource, for example, /images/daily-ad.jpg.

            • BODY: The part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. The request body immediately follows the request headers. Note that only the first 8192 bytes of the request body are forwarded to AWS WAF for inspection. To allow or block requests based on the length of the body, you can create a size constraint set. For more information, see CreateSizeConstraintSet.

            • SINGLE_QUERY_ARG: The parameter in the query string that you will inspect, such as UserName or SalesRegion. The maximum length for SINGLE_QUERY_ARG is 30 characters.

            • ALL_QUERY_ARGS: Similar to SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, but instead of inspecting a single parameter, AWS WAF inspects all parameters within the query string for the value or regex pattern that you specify in TargetString.

            If TargetString includes alphabetic characters A-Z and a-z, note that the value is case sensitive.

            If you're using the AWS WAF API

            Specify a base64-encoded version of the value. The maximum length of the value before you base64-encode it is 50 bytes.

            For example, suppose the value of Type is HEADER and the value of Data is User-Agent. If you want to search the User-Agent header for the value BadBot, you base64-encode BadBot using MIME base64-encoding and include the resulting value, QmFkQm90, in the value of TargetString.

            If you're using the AWS CLI or one of the AWS SDKs

            The value that you want AWS WAF to search for. The SDK automatically base64 encodes the value.

          • TextTransformationrequired — (String)

            Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass AWS WAF. If you specify a transformation, AWS WAF performs the transformation on FieldToMatch before inspecting it for a match.

            You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

            CMD_LINE

            When you're concerned that attackers are injecting an operating system command line command and using unusual formatting to disguise some or all of the command, use this option to perform the following transformations:

            • Delete the following characters: \ " ' ^

            • Delete spaces before the following characters: / (

            • Replace the following characters with a space: , ;

            • Replace multiple spaces with one space

            • Convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z)

            COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE

            Use this option to replace the following characters with a space character (decimal 32):

            • \f, formfeed, decimal 12

            • \t, tab, decimal 9

            • \n, newline, decimal 10

            • \r, carriage return, decimal 13

            • \v, vertical tab, decimal 11

            • non-breaking space, decimal 160

            COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE also replaces multiple spaces with one space.

            HTML_ENTITY_DECODE

            Use this option to replace HTML-encoded characters with unencoded characters. HTML_ENTITY_DECODE performs the following operations:

            • Replaces (ampersand)quot; with "

            • Replaces (ampersand)nbsp; with a non-breaking space, decimal 160

            • Replaces (ampersand)lt; with a "less than" symbol

            • Replaces (ampersand)gt; with >

            • Replaces characters that are represented in hexadecimal format, (ampersand)#xhhhh;, with the corresponding characters

            • Replaces characters that are represented in decimal format, (ampersand)#nnnn;, with the corresponding characters

            LOWERCASE

            Use this option to convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z).

            URL_DECODE

            Use this option to decode a URL-encoded value.

            NONE

            Specify NONE if you don't want to perform any text transformations.

            Possible values include:
            • "NONE"
            • "COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE"
            • "HTML_ENTITY_DECODE"
            • "LOWERCASE"
            • "CMD_LINE"
            • "URL_DECODE"
          • PositionalConstraintrequired — (String)

            Within the portion of a web request that you want to search (for example, in the query string, if any), specify where you want AWS WAF to search. Valid values include the following:

            CONTAINS

            The specified part of the web request must include the value of TargetString, but the location doesn't matter.

            CONTAINS_WORD

            The specified part of the web request must include the value of TargetString, and TargetString must contain only alphanumeric characters or underscore (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, or ). In addition, TargetString must be a word, which means one of the following:

            • TargetString exactly matches the value of the specified part of the web request, such as the value of a header.

            • TargetString is at the beginning of the specified part of the web request and is followed by a character other than an alphanumeric character or underscore (), for example, BadBot;.

            • TargetString is at the end of the specified part of the web request and is preceded by a character other than an alphanumeric character or underscore (), for example, ;BadBot.

            • TargetString is in the middle of the specified part of the web request and is preceded and followed by characters other than alphanumeric characters or underscore (), for example, -BadBot;.

            EXACTLY

            The value of the specified part of the web request must exactly match the value of TargetString.

            STARTS_WITH

            The value of TargetString must appear at the beginning of the specified part of the web request.

            ENDS_WITH

            The value of TargetString must appear at the end of the specified part of the web request.

            Possible values include:
            • "EXACTLY"
            • "STARTS_WITH"
            • "ENDS_WITH"
            • "CONTAINS"
            • "CONTAINS_WORD"
      • ChangeToken — (String)

        The ChangeToken that you used to submit the CreateByteMatchSet request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createGeoMatchSet(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates an GeoMatchSet, which you use to specify which web requests you want to allow or block based on the country that the requests originate from. For example, if you're receiving a lot of requests from one or more countries and you want to block the requests, you can create an GeoMatchSet that contains those countries and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests.

To create and configure a GeoMatchSet, perform the following steps:

Examples:

Calling the createGeoMatchSet operation

var params = {
  ChangeToken: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */
  Name: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */
};
wafregional.createGeoMatchSet(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • Name — (String)

      A friendly name or description of the GeoMatchSet. You can't change Name after you create the GeoMatchSet.

    • ChangeToken — (String)

      The value returned by the most recent call to GetChangeToken.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • GeoMatchSet — (map)

        The GeoMatchSet returned in the CreateGeoMatchSet response. The GeoMatchSet contains no GeoMatchConstraints.

        • GeoMatchSetIdrequired — (String)

          The GeoMatchSetId for an GeoMatchSet. You use GeoMatchSetId to get information about a GeoMatchSet (see GeoMatchSet), update a GeoMatchSet (see UpdateGeoMatchSet), insert a GeoMatchSet into a Rule or delete one from a Rule (see UpdateRule), and delete a GeoMatchSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteGeoMatchSet).

          GeoMatchSetId is returned by CreateGeoMatchSet and by ListGeoMatchSets.

        • Name — (String)

          A friendly name or description of the GeoMatchSet. You can't change the name of an GeoMatchSet after you create it.

        • GeoMatchConstraintsrequired — (Array<map>)

          An array of GeoMatchConstraint objects, which contain the country that you want AWS WAF to search for.

          • Typerequired — (String)

            The type of geographical area you want AWS WAF to search for. Currently Country is the only valid value.

            Possible values include:
            • "Country"
          • Valuerequired — (String)

            The country that you want AWS WAF to search for.

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createIPSet(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates an IPSet, which you use to specify which web requests that you want to allow or block based on the IP addresses that the requests originate from. For example, if you're receiving a lot of requests from one or more individual IP addresses or one or more ranges of IP addresses and you want to block the requests, you can create an IPSet that contains those IP addresses and then configure AWS WAF to block the requests.

To create and configure an IPSet, perform the following steps:

  1. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateIPSet request.

  2. Submit a CreateIPSet request.

  3. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateIPSet request.

  4. Submit an UpdateIPSet request to specify the IP addresses that you want AWS WAF to watch for.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

    • Name — (String)

      A friendly name or description of the IPSet. You can't change Name after you create the IPSet.

    • ChangeToken — (String)

      The value returned by the most recent call to GetChangeToken.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

        The IPSet returned in the CreateIPSet response.

        • IPSetIdrequired — (String)

          The IPSetId for an IPSet. You use IPSetId to get information about an IPSet (see GetIPSet), update an IPSet (see UpdateIPSet), insert an IPSet into a Rule or delete one from a Rule (see UpdateRule), and delete an IPSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteIPSet).

          IPSetId is returned by CreateIPSet and by ListIPSets.

        • Name — (String)

          A friendly name or description of the IPSet. You can't change the name of an IPSet after you create it.

        • IPSetDescriptorsrequired — (Array<map>)

          The IP address type (IPV4 or IPV6) and the IP address range (in CIDR notation) that web requests originate from. If the WebACL is associated with a CloudFront distribution and the viewer did not use an HTTP proxy or a load balancer to send the request, this is the value of the c-ip field in the CloudFront access logs.

          • Typerequired — (String)

            Specify IPV4 or IPV6.

            Possible values include:
            • "IPV4"
            • "IPV6"
          • Valuerequired — (String)

            Specify an IPv4 address by using CIDR notation. For example:

            • To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from the IP address 192.0.2.44, specify 192.0.2.44/32.

            • To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from IP addresses from 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255, specify 192.0.2.0/24.

            For more information about CIDR notation, see the Wikipedia entry Classless Inter-Domain Routing.

            Specify an IPv6 address by using CIDR notation. For example:

            • To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from the IP address 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111, specify 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128.

            • To configure AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests that originated from IP addresses 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to 1111:0000:0000:0000:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff, specify 1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/64.

      • ChangeToken — (String)

        The ChangeToken that you used to submit the CreateIPSet request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createRateBasedRule(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates a RateBasedRule. The RateBasedRule contains a RateLimit, which specifies the maximum number of requests that AWS WAF allows from a specified IP address in a five-minute period. The RateBasedRule also contains the IPSet objects, ByteMatchSet objects, and other predicates that identify the requests that you want to count or block if these requests exceed the RateLimit.

If you add more than one predicate to a RateBasedRule, a request not only must exceed the RateLimit, but it also must match all the conditions to be counted or blocked. For example, suppose you add the following to a RateBasedRule:

  • An IPSet that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44/32

  • A ByteMatchSet that matches BadBot in the User-Agent header

Further, you specify a RateLimit of 1,000.

You then add the RateBasedRule to a WebACL and specify that you want to block requests that meet the conditions in the rule. For a request to be blocked, it must come from the IP address 192.0.2.44 and the User-Agent header in the request must contain the value BadBot. Further, requests that match these two conditions must be received at a rate of more than 1,000 requests every five minutes. If both conditions are met and the rate is exceeded, AWS WAF blocks the requests. If the rate drops below 1,000 for a five-minute period, AWS WAF no longer blocks the requests.

As a second example, suppose you want to limit requests to a particular page on your site. To do this, you could add the following to a RateBasedRule:

  • A ByteMatchSet with FieldToMatch of URI

  • A PositionalConstraint of STARTS_WITH

  • A TargetString of login

Further, you specify a RateLimit of 1,000.

By adding this RateBasedRule to a WebACL, you could limit requests to your login page without affecting the rest of your site.

To create and configure a RateBasedRule, perform the following steps:

  1. Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the rule. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, and CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateRule request.

  3. Submit a CreateRateBasedRule request.

  4. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRule request.

  5. Submit an UpdateRateBasedRule request to specify the predicates that you want to include in the rule.

  6. Create and update a WebACL that contains the RateBasedRule. For more information, see CreateWebACL.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

wafregional.createRateBasedRule(params, function(err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Parameters:

  • params (Object) (defaults to: {})
    • Name — (String)

      A friendly name or description of the RateBasedRule. You can't change the name of a RateBasedRule after you create it.

    • MetricName — (String)

      A friendly name or description for the metrics for this RateBasedRule. The name can contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), with maximum length 128 and minimum length one. It can't contain whitespace or metric names reserved for AWS WAF, including "All" and "Default_Action." You can't change the name of the metric after you create the RateBasedRule.

    • RateKey — (String)

      The field that AWS WAF uses to determine if requests are likely arriving from a single source and thus subject to rate monitoring. The only valid value for RateKey is IP. IP indicates that requests that arrive from the same IP address are subject to the RateLimit that is specified in the RateBasedRule.

      Possible values include:
      • "IP"
    • RateLimit — (Integer)

      The maximum number of requests, which have an identical value in the field that is specified by RateKey, allowed in a five-minute period. If the number of requests exceeds the RateLimit and the other predicates specified in the rule are also met, AWS WAF triggers the action that is specified for this rule.

    • ChangeToken — (String)

      The ChangeToken that you used to submit the CreateRateBasedRule request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus.

createRegexMatchSet(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates a RegexMatchSet. You then use UpdateRegexMatchSet to identify the part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect, such as the values of the User-Agent header or the query string. For example, you can create a RegexMatchSet that contains a RegexMatchTuple that looks for any requests with User-Agent headers that match a RegexPatternSet with pattern B[a@]dB[o0]t. You can then configure AWS WAF to reject those requests.

To create and configure a RegexMatchSet, perform the following steps:

  1. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateRegexMatchSet request.

  2. Submit a CreateRegexMatchSet request.

  3. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRegexMatchSet request.

  4. Submit an UpdateRegexMatchSet request to specify the part of the request that you want AWS WAF to inspect (for example, the header or the URI) and the value, using a RegexPatternSet, that you want AWS WAF to watch for.

For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.

      A friendly name or description of the RegexMatchSet. You can't change Name after you create a RegexMatchSet.

    • ChangeToken — (String)

      The value returned by the most recent call to GetChangeToken.

Callback (callback):

  • function(err, data) { ... }

    Called when a response from the service is returned. If a callback is not supplied, you must call AWS.Request.send() on the returned request object to initiate the request.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • RegexMatchSet — (map)

        A RegexMatchSet that contains no RegexMatchTuple objects.

        • RegexMatchSetId — (String)

          The RegexMatchSetId for a RegexMatchSet. You use RegexMatchSetId to get information about a RegexMatchSet (see GetRegexMatchSet), update a RegexMatchSet (see UpdateRegexMatchSet), insert a RegexMatchSet into a Rule or delete one from a Rule (see UpdateRule), and delete a RegexMatchSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteRegexMatchSet).

          RegexMatchSetId is returned by CreateRegexMatchSet and by ListRegexMatchSets.

        • Name — (String)

          A friendly name or description of the RegexMatchSet. You can't change Name after you create a RegexMatchSet.

        • RegexMatchTuples — (Array<map>)

          Contains an array of RegexMatchTuple objects. Each RegexMatchTuple object contains:

          • The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect, such as a query string or the value of the User-Agent header.

          • The identifier of the pattern (a regular expression) that you want AWS WAF to look for. For more information, see RegexPatternSet.

          • Whether to perform any conversions on the request, such as converting it to lowercase, before inspecting it for the specified string.

          • FieldToMatchrequired — (map)

            Specifies where in a web request to look for the RegexPatternSet.

            • Typerequired — (String)

              The part of the web request that you want AWS WAF to search for a specified string. Parts of a request that you can search include the following:

              • HEADER: A specified request header, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header. If you choose HEADER for the type, specify the name of the header in Data.

              • METHOD: The HTTP method, which indicated the type of operation that the request is asking the origin to perform. Amazon CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT.

              • QUERY_STRING: A query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character, if any.

              • URI: The part of a web request that identifies a resource, for example, /images/daily-ad.jpg.

              • BODY: The part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. The request body immediately follows the request headers. Note that only the first 8192 bytes of the request body are forwarded to AWS WAF for inspection. To allow or block requests based on the length of the body, you can create a size constraint set. For more information, see CreateSizeConstraintSet.

              • SINGLE_QUERY_ARG: The parameter in the query string that you will inspect, such as UserName or SalesRegion. The maximum length for SINGLE_QUERY_ARG is 30 characters.

              • ALL_QUERY_ARGS: Similar to SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, but rather than inspecting a single parameter, AWS WAF will inspect all parameters within the query for the value or regex pattern that you specify in TargetString.

              Possible values include:
              • "URI"
              • "QUERY_STRING"
              • "HEADER"
              • "METHOD"
              • "BODY"
              • "SINGLE_QUERY_ARG"
              • "ALL_QUERY_ARGS"
            • Data — (String)

              When the value of Type is HEADER, enter the name of the header that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, User-Agent or Referer. The name of the header is not case sensitive.

              When the value of Type is SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, enter the name of the parameter that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, UserName or SalesRegion. The parameter name is not case sensitive.

              If the value of Type is any other value, omit Data.

          • TextTransformationrequired — (String)

            Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass AWS WAF. If you specify a transformation, AWS WAF performs the transformation on RegexPatternSet before inspecting a request for a match.

            You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

            CMD_LINE

            When you're concerned that attackers are injecting an operating system commandline command and using unusual formatting to disguise some or all of the command, use this option to perform the following transformations:

            • Delete the following characters: \ " ' ^

            • Delete spaces before the following characters: / (

            • Replace the following characters with a space: , ;

            • Replace multiple spaces with one space

            • Convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z)

            COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE

            Use this option to replace the following characters with a space character (decimal 32):

            • \f, formfeed, decimal 12

            • \t, tab, decimal 9

            • \n, newline, decimal 10

            • \r, carriage return, decimal 13

            • \v, vertical tab, decimal 11

            • non-breaking space, decimal 160

            COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE also replaces multiple spaces with one space.

            HTML_ENTITY_DECODE

            Use this option to replace HTML-encoded characters with unencoded characters. HTML_ENTITY_DECODE performs the following operations:

            • Replaces (ampersand)quot; with "

            • Replaces (ampersand)nbsp; with a non-breaking space, decimal 160

            • Replaces (ampersand)lt; with a "less than" symbol

            • Replaces (ampersand)gt; with >

            • Replaces characters that are represented in hexadecimal format, (ampersand)#xhhhh;, with the corresponding characters

            • Replaces characters that are represented in decimal format, (ampersand)#nnnn;, with the corresponding characters

            LOWERCASE

            Use this option to convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z).

            URL_DECODE

            Use this option to decode a URL-encoded value.

            NONE

            Specify NONE if you don't want to perform any text transformations.

            Possible values include:
            • "NONE"
            • "COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE"
            • "HTML_ENTITY_DECODE"
            • "LOWERCASE"
            • "CMD_LINE"
            • "URL_DECODE"
          • RegexPatternSetIdrequired — (String)

            The RegexPatternSetId for a RegexPatternSet. You use RegexPatternSetId to get information about a RegexPatternSet (see GetRegexPatternSet), update a RegexPatternSet (see UpdateRegexPatternSet), insert a RegexPatternSet into a RegexMatchSet or delete one from a RegexMatchSet (see UpdateRegexMatchSet), and delete an RegexPatternSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteRegexPatternSet).

            RegexPatternSetId is returned by CreateRegexPatternSet and by ListRegexPatternSets.

      • ChangeToken — (String)

        The ChangeToken that you used to submit the CreateRegexMatchSet request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus.

createRule(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates a Rule, which contains the IPSet objects, ByteMatchSet objects, and other predicates that identify the requests that you want to block. If you add more than one predicate to a Rule, a request must match all of the specifications to be allowed or blocked. For example, suppose that you add the following to a Rule:

  • An IPSet that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44/32

  • A ByteMatchSet that matches BadBot in the User-Agent header

You then add the Rule to a WebACL and specify that you want to blocks requests that satisfy the Rule. For a request to be blocked, it must come from the IP address 192.0.2.44 and the User-Agent header in the request must contain the value BadBot.

To create and configure a Rule, perform the following steps:

  1. Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the Rule. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, and CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet.

  2. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateRule request.

  3. Submit a CreateRule request.

  4. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRule request.

  5. Submit an UpdateRule request to specify the predicates that you want to include in the Rule.

  6. Create and update a WebACL that contains the Rule. For more information, see CreateWebACL.

        • Predicatesrequired — (Array<map>)

          The Predicates object contains one Predicate element for each ByteMatchSet, IPSet, or SqlInjectionMatchSet object that you want to include in a Rule.

          • Negatedrequired — (Boolean)

            Set Negated to False if you want AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests based on the settings in the specified ByteMatchSet, IPSet, SqlInjectionMatchSet, XssMatchSet, RegexMatchSet, GeoMatchSet, or SizeConstraintSet. For example, if an IPSet includes the IP address 192.0.2.44, AWS WAF will allow or block requests based on that IP address.

            Set Negated to True if you want AWS WAF to allow or block a request based on the negation of the settings in the ByteMatchSet, IPSet, SqlInjectionMatchSet, XssMatchSet, RegexMatchSet, GeoMatchSet, or SizeConstraintSet. For example, if an IPSet includes the IP address 192.0.2.44, AWS WAF will allow, block, or count requests based on all IP addresses except 192.0.2.44.

          • Typerequired — (String)

            The type of predicate in a Rule, such as ByteMatch or IPSet.

            • "RegexMatch"
          • DataIdrequired — (String)

            A unique identifier for a predicate in a Rule, such as ByteMatchSetId or IPSetId. The ID is returned by the corresponding Create or List command.

      • ChangeToken — (String)

        The ChangeToken that you used to submit the CreateRule request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

    a handle to the operation request for subsequent event callback registration.

createRuleGroup(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

createSizeConstraintSet(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Note: This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

Creates a SizeConstraintSet. You then use UpdateSizeConstraintSet to identify the part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to check for length, such as the length of the User-Agent header or the length of the query string. For example, you can create a SizeConstraintSet that matches any requests that have a query string that is longer than 100 bytes. You can then configure AWS WAF to reject those requests.

To create and configure a SizeConstraintSet, perform the following steps:

  1. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateSizeConstraintSet request.

  2. Submit a CreateSizeConstraintSet request.

  3. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateSizeConstraintSet request.

  4. Submit an UpdateSizeConstraintSet request to specify the part of the request that you want AWS WAF to inspect (for example, the header or the URI) and the value that you want AWS WAF to watch for.

    Context (this):

    • (AWS.Response)

      the response object containing error, data properties, and the original request object.

    Parameters:

    • err (Error)

      the error object returned from the request. Set to null if the request is successful.

    • data (Object)

      the de-serialized data returned from the request. Set to null if a request error occurs. The data object has the following properties:

      • SizeConstraintSet — (map)

        A SizeConstraintSet that contains no SizeConstraint objects.

        • SizeConstraintSetIdrequired — (String)

          A unique identifier for a SizeConstraintSet. You use SizeConstraintSetId to get information about a SizeConstraintSet (see GetSizeConstraintSet), update a SizeConstraintSet (see UpdateSizeConstraintSet), insert a SizeConstraintSet into a Rule or delete one from a Rule (see UpdateRule), and delete a SizeConstraintSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteSizeConstraintSet).

          SizeConstraintSetId is returned by CreateSizeConstraintSet and by ListSizeConstraintSets.

        • Name — (String)

          The name, if any, of the SizeConstraintSet.

        • SizeConstraintsrequired — (Array<map>)

          Specifies the parts of web requests that you want to inspect the size of.

          • FieldToMatchrequired — (map)

            Specifies where in a web request to look for the size constraint.

            • Typerequired — (String)

              The part of the web request that you want AWS WAF to search for a specified string. Parts of a request that you can search include the following:

              • HEADER: A specified request header, for example, the value of the User-Agent or Referer header. If you choose HEADER for the type, specify the name of the header in Data.

              • METHOD: The HTTP method, which indicated the type of operation that the request is asking the origin to perform. Amazon CloudFront supports the following methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, and PUT.

              • QUERY_STRING: A query string, which is the part of a URL that appears after a ? character, if any.

              • URI: The part of a web request that identifies a resource, for example, /images/daily-ad.jpg.

              • BODY: The part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. The request body immediately follows the request headers. Note that only the first 8192 bytes of the request body are forwarded to AWS WAF for inspection. To allow or block requests based on the length of the body, you can create a size constraint set. For more information, see CreateSizeConstraintSet.

              • SINGLE_QUERY_ARG: The parameter in the query string that you will inspect, such as UserName or SalesRegion. The maximum length for SINGLE_QUERY_ARG is 30 characters.

              • ALL_QUERY_ARGS: Similar to SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, but rather than inspecting a single parameter, AWS WAF will inspect all parameters within the query for the value or regex pattern that you specify in TargetString.

              Possible values include:
              • "URI"
              • "QUERY_STRING"
              • "HEADER"
              • "METHOD"
              • "BODY"
              • "SINGLE_QUERY_ARG"
              • "ALL_QUERY_ARGS"
            • Data — (String)

              When the value of Type is HEADER, enter the name of the header that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, User-Agent or Referer. The name of the header is not case sensitive.

              When the value of Type is SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, enter the name of the parameter that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, UserName or SalesRegion. The parameter name is not case sensitive.

              If the value of Type is any other value, omit Data.

          • TextTransformationrequired — (String)

            Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass AWS WAF. If you specify a transformation, AWS WAF performs the transformation on FieldToMatch before inspecting it for a match.

            You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

            Note that if you choose BODY for the value of Type, you must choose NONE for TextTransformation because CloudFront forwards only the first 8192 bytes for inspection.

            NONE

            Specify NONE if you don't want to perform any text transformations.

            CMD_LINE

            When you're concerned that attackers are injecting an operating system command line command and using unusual formatting to disguise some or all of the command, use this option to perform the following transformations:

            • Delete the following characters: \ " ' ^

            • Delete spaces before the following characters: / (

            • Replace the following characters with a space: , ;

            • Replace multiple spaces with one space

            • Convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z)

            COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE

            Use this option to replace the following characters with a space character (decimal 32):

            • \f, formfeed, decimal 12

            • \t, tab, decimal 9

            • \n, newline, decimal 10

            • \r, carriage return, decimal 13

            • \v, vertical tab, decimal 11

            • non-breaking space, decimal 160

            COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE also replaces multiple spaces with one space.

            HTML_ENTITY_DECODE

            Use this option to replace HTML-encoded characters with unencoded characters. HTML_ENTITY_DECODE performs the following operations:

            • Replaces (ampersand)quot; with "

            • Replaces (ampersand)nbsp; with a non-breaking space, decimal 160

            • Replaces (ampersand)lt; with a "less than" symbol

            • Replaces (ampersand)gt; with >

            • Replaces characters that are represented in hexadecimal format, (ampersand)#xhhhh;, with the corresponding characters

            • Replaces characters that are represented in decimal format, (ampersand)#nnnn;, with the corresponding characters

            LOWERCASE

            Use this option to convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z).

            URL_DECODE

            Use this option to decode a URL-encoded value.

            Possible values include:
            • "NONE"
            • "COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE"
            • "HTML_ENTITY_DECODE"
            • "LOWERCASE"
            • "CMD_LINE"
            • "URL_DECODE"
          • ComparisonOperatorrequired — (String)

            The type of comparison you want AWS WAF to perform. AWS WAF uses this in combination with the provided Size and FieldToMatch to build an expression in the form of "Size ComparisonOperator size in bytes of FieldToMatch". If that expression is true, the SizeConstraint is considered to match.

            EQ: Used to test if the Size is equal to the size of the FieldToMatch

            NE: Used to test if the Size is not equal to the size of the FieldToMatch

            LE: Used to test if the Size is less than or equal to the size of the FieldToMatch

            LT: Used to test if the Size is strictly less than the size of the FieldToMatch

            GE: Used to test if the Size is greater than or equal to the size of the FieldToMatch

            GT: Used to test if the Size is strictly greater than the size of the FieldToMatch

            Possible values include:
            • "EQ"
            • "NE"
            • "LE"
            • "LT"
            • "GE"
            • "GT"
          • Sizerequired — (Integer)

            The size in bytes that you want AWS WAF to compare against the size of the specified FieldToMatch. AWS WAF uses this in combination with ComparisonOperator and FieldToMatch to build an expression in the form of "Size ComparisonOperator size in bytes of FieldToMatch". If that expression is true, the SizeConstraint is considered to match.

            Valid values for size are 0 - 21474836480 bytes (0 - 20 GB).

            If you specify URI for the value of Type, the / in the URI counts as one character. For example, the URI /logo.jpg is nine characters long.

      • ChangeToken — (String)

        The ChangeToken that you used to submit the CreateSizeConstraintSet request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus.

Returns:

  • (AWS.Request)

              When the value of Type is SINGLE_QUERY_ARG, enter the name of the parameter that you want AWS WAF to search, for example, UserName or SalesRegion. The parameter name is not case sensitive.

              If the value of Type is any other value, omit Data.

          • TextTransformationrequired — (String)

            Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass AWS WAF. If you specify a transformation, AWS WAF performs the transformation on FieldToMatch before inspecting it for a match.

            You can only specify a single type of TextTransformation.

            CMD_LINE

            When you're concerned that attackers are injecting an operating system command line command and using unusual formatting to disguise some or all of the command, use this option to perform the following transformations:

            • Delete the following characters: \ " ' ^

            • Delete spaces before the following characters: / (

            • Replace the following characters with a space: , ;

            • Replace multiple spaces with one space

            • Convert uppercase letters (A-Z) to lowercase (a-z)

            COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE

            Use this option to replace the following characters with a space character (decimal 32):

            • \f, formfeed, decimal 12

            • \t, tab, decimal 9

            • \n, newline, decimal 10

            • \r, carriage return, decimal 13

            • \v, vertical tab, decimal 11

            • non-breaking space, decimal 160

            COMPRESS_WHITE_SPACE also replaces multiple spaces with one space.

            HTML_ENTITY_DECODE

            Use this option to replace HTML-encoded characters with unencoded characters. HTML_ENTITY_DECODE performs the following operations:

            • Replaces (ampersand)quot; with "

            • Replaces (ampersand)nbsp; with a non-breaking space, decimal 160
