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.

Creates an IPSet, which you use to specify which web requests 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.

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 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

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`.

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.

Creates a SqlInjectionMatchSet, which you use to allow, block, or count requests that contain snippets of SQL code in a specified part of web requests. AWS WAF searches for character sequences that are likely to be malicious strings.

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

1. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of a `CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet` request.
2. Submit a `CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet` request.
3. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of an `UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet` request.
4. Submit an `UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet` request to specify the parts of web requests in which you want to allow, block, or count malicious SQL code.

Creates a WebACL, which contains the Rules that identify the CloudFront web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. AWS WAF evaluates Rules in order based on the value of Priority for each Rule.

You also specify a default action, either ALLOW or BLOCK. If a web request doesn’t match any of the Rules in a WebACL, AWS WAF responds to the request with the default action.

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

1. Create and update the `ByteMatchSet` objects and other predicates that you want to include in `Rules`. For more information, see `CreateByteMatchSet`, `UpdateByteMatchSet`, `CreateIPSet`, `UpdateIPSet`, `CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet`, and `UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet`.
2. Create and update the `Rules` that you want to include in the `WebACL`. For more information, see `CreateRule` and `UpdateRule`.
3. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of a `CreateWebACL` request.
4. Submit a `CreateWebACL` request.
5. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of an `UpdateWebACL` request.
6. Submit an `UpdateWebACL` request to specify the `Rules` that you want to include in the `WebACL`, to specify the default action, and to associate the `WebACL` with a CloudFront distribution.

Creates an XssMatchSet, which you use to allow, block, or count requests that contain cross-site scripting attacks in the specified part of web requests. AWS WAF searches for character sequences that are likely to be malicious strings.

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

1. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of a `CreateXssMatchSet` request.
2. Submit a `CreateXssMatchSet` request.
3. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of an `UpdateXssMatchSet` request.
4. Submit an `UpdateXssMatchSet` request to specify the parts of web requests in which you want to allow, block, or count cross-site scripting attacks.

Returns the ByteMatchSet specified by ByteMatchSetId.

When you want to create, update, or delete AWS WAF objects, get a change token and include the change token in the create, update, or delete request. Change tokens ensure that your application doesn’t submit conflicting requests to AWS WAF.

Each create, update, or delete request must use a unique change token. If your application submits a GetChangeToken request and then submits a second GetChangeToken request before submitting a create, update, or delete request, the second GetChangeToken request returns the same value as the first GetChangeToken request.

When you use a change token in a create, update, or delete request, the status of the change token changes to PENDING, which indicates that AWS WAF is propagating the change to all AWS WAF servers. Use GetChangeTokenStatus to determine the status of your change token.

Returns the status of a ChangeToken that you got by calling GetChangeToken. ChangeTokenStatus is one of the following values:

• `PROVISIONED`: You requested the change token by calling `GetChangeToken`, but you haven't used it yet in a call to create, update, or delete an AWS WAF object.
• `PENDING`: AWS WAF is propagating the create, update, or delete request to all AWS WAF servers.
• `IN_SYNC`: Propagation is complete.

Returns the IPSet that is specified by IPSetId.

Returns the Rule that is specified by the RuleId that you included in the GetRule request.

Gets detailed information about a specified number of requests—a sample—that AWS WAF randomly selects from among the first 5,000 requests that your AWS resource received during a time range that you choose. You can specify a sample size of up to 100 requests, and you can specify any time range in the previous three hours.

GetSampledRequests returns a time range, which is usually the time range that you specified. However, if your resource (such as a CloudFront distribution) received 5,000 requests before the specified time range elapsed, GetSampledRequests returns an updated time range. This new time range indicates the actual period during which AWS WAF selected the requests in the sample.

Returns the SizeConstraintSet specified by SizeConstraintSetId.

Returns the SqlInjectionMatchSet that is specified by SqlInjectionMatchSetId.

Returns the WebACL that is specified by WebACLId.

Inserts or deletes ByteMatchTuple objects (filters) in a ByteMatchSet. For each ByteMatchTuple object, you specify the following values:

• Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change a `ByteMatchSetUpdate` object, you delete the existing object and add a new one.
• 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 bytes (typically a string that corresponds with ASCII characters) that you want AWS WAF to look for. For more information, including how you specify the values for the AWS WAF API and the AWS CLI or SDKs, see `TargetString` in the `ByteMatchTuple` data type.
• Where to look, such as at the beginning or the end of a query string.
• Whether to perform any conversions on the request, such as converting it to lowercase, before inspecting it for the specified string.

1. Create a `ByteMatchSet.` For more information, see `CreateByteMatchSet`.
2. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of an `UpdateByteMatchSet` request.

Inserts or deletes IPSetDescriptor objects in an IPSet. For each IPSetDescriptor object, you specify the following values:

• Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change an `IPSetDescriptor` object, you delete the existing object and add a new one.
• The IP address version, `IPv4`.
• The IP address in CIDR notation, for example, `192.0.2.0/24` (for the range of IP addresses from `192.0.2.0` to `192.0.2.255`) or `192.0.2.44/32` (for the individual IP address `192.0.2.44`).

2. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of an `UpdateIPSet` request.
3. Submit an `UpdateIPSet` request to specify the IP addresses that you want AWS WAF to watch for.

Inserts or deletes Predicate objects in a Rule. Each Predicate object identifies a predicate, such as a ByteMatchSet or an IPSet, that specifies the web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. If you add more than one predicate to a Rule, a request must match all of the specifications to be allowed, blocked, or counted. For example, suppose you add the following to a Rule:

• A `ByteMatchSet` that matches the value `BadBot` in the `User-Agent` header
• An `IPSet` that matches the IP address `192.0.2.44`

1. Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the `Rule`.
2. Create the `Rule`. See `CreateRule`.
3. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of an `UpdateRule` request.
4. Submit an `UpdateRule` request to add predicates to the `Rule`.
5. Create and update a `WebACL` that contains the `Rule`. See `CreateWebACL`.

Inserts or deletes SizeConstraint objects (filters) in a SizeConstraintSet. For each SizeConstraint object, you specify the following values:

• Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change a `SizeConstraintSetUpdate` object, you delete the existing object and add a new one.
• The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to evaluate, such as the length of a query string or the length of the `User-Agent` header.
• Whether to perform any transformations on the request, such as converting it to lowercase, before checking its length. Note that transformations of the request body are not supported because the AWS resource forwards only the first `8192` bytes of your request to AWS WAF.
• A `ComparisonOperator` used for evaluating the selected part of the request against the specified `Size`, such as equals, greater than, less than, and so on.
• The length, in bytes, that you want AWS WAF to watch for in selected part of the request. The length is computed after applying the transformation.

1. Create a `SizeConstraintSet.` For more information, see `CreateSizeConstraintSet`.
2. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of an `UpdateSizeConstraintSet` request.

• `Action`: Whether to insert the object into or delete the object from the array. To change a `SqlInjectionMatchTuple`, you delete the existing object and add a new one.
• `FieldToMatch`: The part of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect and, if you want AWS WAF to inspect a header, the name of the header.
• `TextTransformation`: Which text transformation, if any, to perform on the web request before inspecting the request for snippets of malicious SQL code.

1. Submit a `CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet` request.
2. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of an `UpdateIPSet` request.
3. Submit an `UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet` request to specify the parts of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect for snippets of SQL code.

Inserts or deletes ActivatedRule objects in a WebACL. Each Rule identifies web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. When you update a WebACL, you specify the following values:

• A default action for the `WebACL`, either `ALLOW` or `BLOCK`. AWS WAF performs the default action if a request doesn't match the criteria in any of the `Rules` in a `WebACL`.
• The `Rules` that you want to add and/or delete. If you want to replace one `Rule` with another, you delete the existing `Rule` and add the new one.
• For each `Rule`, whether you want AWS WAF to allow requests, block requests, or count requests that match the conditions in the `Rule`.
• The order in which you want AWS WAF to evaluate the `Rules` in a `WebACL`. If you add more than one `Rule` to a `WebACL`, AWS WAF evaluates each request against the `Rules` in order based on the value of `Priority`. (The `Rule` that has the lowest value for `Priority` is evaluated first.) When a web request matches all of the predicates (such as `ByteMatchSets` and `IPSets`) in a `Rule`, AWS WAF immediately takes the corresponding action, allow or block, and doesn't evaluate the request against the remaining `Rules` in the `WebACL`, if any.
• The CloudFront distribution that you want to associate with the `WebACL`.

1. Create and update the predicates that you want to include in `Rules`. For more information, see `CreateByteMatchSet`, `UpdateByteMatchSet`, `CreateIPSet`, `UpdateIPSet`, `CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet`, and `UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet`.

• `Action`: Whether to insert the object into or delete the object from the array. To change a `XssMatchTuple`, you delete the existing object and add a new one.
• `FieldToMatch`: The part of web requests that you want AWS WAF to inspect and, if you want AWS WAF to inspect a header, the name of the header.
• `TextTransformation`: Which text transformation, if any, to perform on the web request before inspecting the request for cross-site scripting attacks.

1. Submit a `CreateXssMatchSet` request.
2. Use `GetChangeToken` to get the change token that you provide in the `ChangeToken` parameter of an `UpdateIPSet` request.
