requests-aws-sign

This package allows for AWS V4 request signing using the requests library.

Usage

This package provides the AWSV4Sign class, which extends requests AuthBase:

import requests
from requests_aws_sign import AWSV4Sign
from boto3 import session

# You must provide a credentials object as per http://boto3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/configuration.html#configuring-credentials
# This example attempts to get credentials based upon the local environment
# e.g. Environment Variables, assume role profiles, EC2 Instance IAM profiles
session = session.Session()
credentials = session.get_credentials()

# You must provide an AWS region
region = session.region_name or 'ap-southeast-2'

# You must provide the AWS service.  E.g. 'es' for Elasticsearch, 's3' for S3, etc.
service = 'es'

url = "https://es-search-domain.ap-southeast-2.es.amazonaws.com/"
auth=AWSV4Sign(credentials, region, service)
response = requests.get(url, auth=auth)

When signing requests using this package, the following headers are added to the HTTP Request:

  • X-Amz-Date
  • X-Amz-Security-Token
  • Authorization

See AWS documentation for further information on the signing process.

AWS Services

To obtain a list of services to pass in the signing request, you can call the Boto3 session get_available_services() function:

>>> import boto3
>>> boto3.session.Session().get_available_services()
['acm', 'apigateway', 'application-autoscaling', 'autoscaling', 'cloudformation', 'cloudfront', 'cloudhsm',
 'cloudsearch', 'cloudsearchdomain', 'cloudtrail', 'cloudwatch', 'codecommit', 'codedeploy', 'codepipeline',
 'cognito-identity', 'cognito-idp', 'cognito-sync', 'config', 'datapipeline', 'devicefarm', 'directconnect',
 'discovery', 'dms', 'ds', 'dynamodb', 'dynamodbstreams', 'ec2', 'ecr', 'ecs', 'efs', 'elasticache',
 'elasticbeanstalk', 'elastictranscoder', 'elb', 'emr', 'es', 'events', 'firehose', 'gamelift', 'glacier', 'iam',
 'importexport', 'inspector', 'iot', 'iot-data', 'kinesis', 'kms', 'lambda', 'logs', 'machinelearning',
 'marketplacecommerceanalytics', 'meteringmarketplace', 'opsworks', 'rds', 'redshift', 'route53', 'route53domains',
 's3', 'sdb', 'ses', 'sns', 'sqs', 'ssm', 'storagegateway', 'sts', 'support', 'swf', 'waf', 'workspaces']

Note that there is an unlisted service 'execute-api' used for Signing API Gateway requests - see below.

Support for STS Assume Role and EC2 IAM Instance Profiles

You should use Boto3 to provide your credentials object as demonstrated in the example usage, as it will cache credentials and in the case of assume role profiles and EC2 Instance IAM profiles, automatically refresh credentials as required.

Elasticsearch Usage Example

import requests
from requests_aws_sign import AWSV4Sign
from boto3 import session
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, RequestsHttpConnection

# Establish credentials
session = session.Session()
credentials = session.get_credentials()
region = session.region_name or 'ap-southeast-2'

# Elasticsearch settings
service = 'es'
es_host = "https://es-search-domain.ap-southeast-2.es.amazonaws.com/"
auth=AWSV4Sign(credentials, region, service)
es_client = Elasticsearch(host=es_host,
                          port=443,
                          connection_class=RequestsHttpConnection,
                          http_auth=auth,
                          use_ssl=True,
                          verify_ssl=True)
print es_client.info()

Signing API Gateway requests

API Gateway is an AWS service that lets you create and publish your own REST APIs. API Gateway gives you the option of Authorizing access to your own API endpoints using IAM. You can use this library to sign requests to API Gateway.

import requests
from requests_aws_sign import AWSV4Sign
from boto3 import session
from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch, RequestsHttpConnection

# Establish credentials
session = session.Session()
credentials = session.get_credentials()
region = session.region_name or 'ap-southeast-2'

# API Gateway execute settings
uri = "https://<my-api-gw-endpoint>.execute-api.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/Prod" + "/test"
headers={"Content-Type":"application/json"}
payload = "{}"
service = 'execute-api'
auth=AWSV4Sign(credentials, region, service)
response = requests.post(uri, auth=auth, headers=headers,json=payload)
