Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

StsRequest

✓ from aliyunsdksts.request.v20150401 import AssumeRoleRequest

✗ import sts

Wrong import; the SDK uses the full request class.

StsClient

✓ from aliyunsdkcore.client import AcsClient

✗ from aliyunsdksts.client import AcsClient

The client is from aliyunsdkcore, not from the sts package.

Assume a role using STS to get temporary credentials.

from aliyunsdkcore.client import AcsClient from aliyunsdksts.request.v20150401 import AssumeRoleRequest import json client = AcsClient( os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID', ''), os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET', ''), 'cn-hangzhou' ) request = AssumeRoleRequest() request.set_RoleArn('acs:ram::1234567890:role/ecsbackup') request.set_RoleSessionName('session-test') response = client.do_action_with_exception(request) print(json.loads(response))

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 3.x, the base SDK was restructured. All request classes are now in aliyunsdk<service>.request. Do not use the old AliyunApiClient pattern.

fix

Use AcsClient from aliyunsdkcore.client and request classes from aliyunsdksts.request

affects: >=3.0.0

gotchaThe STS SDK does not install the core SDK automatically. If you only install aliyun-python-sdk-sts, you will get ImportError for AcsClient.

fix

Install both: pip install aliyun-python-sdk-core aliyun-python-sdk-sts

affects: all

deprecatedThe older method client.do_action(request) (without _with_exception) is deprecated; it returns raw bytes without error handling.

fix

Use client.do_action_with_exception(request) which returns a string.

affects: <3.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ImportError: No module named 'aliyunsdkcore'

Missing dependency aliyun-python-sdk-core.

fix

Run: pip install aliyun-python-sdk-core

AttributeError: module 'aliyunsdksts' has no attribute 'request'

Wrong import statement; trying to import the module instead of the request class.

fix

Use: from aliyunsdksts.request.v20150401 import AssumeRoleRequest

aliyunsdkcore.exception.ServerException: HTTP Status: 404 Error: InvalidParameter.RoleArn

RoleArn parameter is missing or incorrectly formatted.

fix

Ensure RoleArn is set with the correct format: acs:ram::<account-id>:role/<role-name>
