To get definitions for entities

The following get-entities example gets a definition for a device model.

aws iotthingsgraph get-entities \
    --ids "urn:tdm:aws/examples:DeviceModel:MotionSensor"

Output:

{
    "descriptions": [
        {
            "id": "urn:tdm:aws/examples:DeviceModel:MotionSensor",
            "type": "DEVICE_MODEL",
            "createdAt": 1559256190.599,
            "definition": {
                "language": "GRAPHQL",
                "text": "##\n# Specification of motion sensor devices interface.\n##\ntype MotionSensor @deviceModel(id: \"urn:tdm:aws/examples:deviceModel:MotionSensor\",\n        capability: \"urn:tdm:aws/examples:capability:MotionSensorCapability\") {ignore:void}"
            }
        }
    ]
}
