How to get a list of AWS EIP addresses from the command line?

I have a use case where I would like to run a script using all existing elastic IP addresses in a specific VPC.

Any thoughts on the best way to generate that list?

I've been looking through the AWS CLI documentation and can't find anything.

Thanks in advance!

The command you are looking for (which is certainly difficult to find due to the unintuitive name) is:

aws ec2 describe-addresses

Cheers and thank you! But our princess is in another castle. :-) Your link points to the "latest" however it brings up CLI v1 (good job there, Amazon) Here is the v2 doc page: awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/ec2/… – Buckjumper 31/5 at 16:41

That's the latest documentation for the CLI v1, which was probably the only version of the CLI back when I answered this question in 2017. – Dazzle 31/5 at 16:51

@Mark's answer is correct. I am just extrapolating the exact command to list the elastic ip's.

aws ec2 describe-addresses --region us-east-1 --query 'Addresses[*].PublicIp'
