    This is **AWS WAF Classic** documentation. For more information, see `AWS WAF Classic <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/classic-waf-chapter.html>`__ in the developer guide.

     

    **For the latest version of AWS WAF**, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the `AWS WAF Developer Guide <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/waf-chapter.html>`__. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use.

    

   

  Returns an array of  RuleGroup objects.

  **Request Syntax**
  ::

    response = client.list_rule_groups(
        NextMarker='string',
        Limit=123
    )
    
  :type NextMarker: string
  :param NextMarker: 

    If you specify a value for ``Limit`` and you have more ``RuleGroups`` than the value of ``Limit``, AWS WAF returns a ``NextMarker`` value in the response that allows you to list another group of ``RuleGroups``. For the second and subsequent ``ListRuleGroups`` requests, specify the value of ``NextMarker`` from the previous response to get information about another batch of ``RuleGroups``.

    

  
  :type Limit: integer
  :param Limit: 

    Specifies the number of ``RuleGroups`` that you want AWS WAF to return for this request. If you have more ``RuleGroups`` than the number that you specify for ``Limit``, the response includes a ``NextMarker`` value that you can use to get another batch of ``RuleGroups``.

To list more ``RuleGroups``, submit another ``ListRuleGroups`` request, and specify the ``NextMarker`` value from the response in the ``NextMarker`` value in the next request.

          Contains the identifier and the friendly name or description of the ``RuleGroup``.

          
          

          - **RuleGroupId** *(string) --* 

            A unique identifier for a ``RuleGroup``. You use ``RuleGroupId`` to get more information about a ``RuleGroup`` (see  GetRuleGroup), update a ``RuleGroup`` (see  UpdateRuleGroup), insert a ``RuleGroup`` into a ``WebACL`` or delete one from a ``WebACL`` (see  UpdateWebACL), or delete a ``RuleGroup`` from AWS WAF (see  DeleteRuleGroup).

             

            ``RuleGroupId`` is returned by  CreateRuleGroup and by  ListRuleGroups.

            
          

          - **Name** *(string) --* 

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