AWS Requests Auth
AWS signature version 4 signing process for the python requests module.
David Muller, the author of Intuitive Python pointed me at this handy snippet of code. Thanks Richard Boyd!
import boto3
from botocore.auth import SigV4Auth
from botocore.awsrequest import AWSRequest
import requests
session = boto3.Session()
credentials = session.get_credentials()
creds = credentials.get_frozen_credentials()
def signed_request(method, url, data=None, params=None, headers=None):
request = AWSRequest(method=method, url=url, data=data, params=params, headers=headers)
# "service_name" is generally "execute-api" for signing API Gateway requests
SigV4Auth(creds, "service_name", REGION).add_auth(request)
return requests.request(method=method, url=url, headers=dict(request.headers), data=data)
def main():
url = f"my.url.example.com/path"
data = {"environmentId": self._environment_id}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-amz-json-1.1'}
response = signed_request(method='POST', url=url, data=data, headers=headers)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
