All you need is here. For simple, you can use this command to get AMI ID or Security Groups:

curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ami-id curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/security-groups

If you want to put it in the file, just put the > at the end of command:

curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/security-groups > test.txt
