Getting a list of commits/commit history from AWS CodeCommit repo

Question

Is it possible right now, programatically to get a list of commits on an AWS CodeCommit repository?

I understand I can use the git command, but I am trying to get the repository information by using CodeCommit's API. Is that possible, or des the API not exist?

You can use:

aws codecommit get-branch --repository-name MyRepo --branch-name MyBranch

In order to get the commit ID of the branch.

Then you can call:

aws codecommit get-commit --repository-name MyRepo --commitId MyCommitID

to get the comment, author and parent commit ID. Iterating through the parent IDs you can get the history.
