Quick way to get AWS Account number from the cli tools

Question

Looking for a quick way to pull my account number, I had originally thought of using aws iam get-account-authorization-details --max-items 1 but there are several issues with doing it this way. Is there a way to do this that might not cross account origins?

Answer 1

Via "Secure Token Service" using the following command.

aws sts get-caller-identity --output text --query 'Account'
