AwsRequestSigner
✓ from aws_request_signer import AwsRequestSigner
✗ from aws_request_signer import AWSRequestSigner

Initialize signer with credentials, region, and service; then sign a request to obtain signed headers.

import os from aws_request_signer import AWSRequestSigner # Set your credentials via environment variables access_key = os.environ.get('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', '') secret_key = os.environ.get('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY', '') region = 'us-east-1' service = 'execute-api' signer = AWSRequestSigner(access_key, secret_key, region, service) # Example GET request method = 'GET' url = 'https://example.com/dev' headers = {} body = '' signed_headers = signer.sign(method, url, headers, body) print(signed_headers)
Debug
Known issues
gotchaThe signer does NOT verify endpoint URLs or credentials at initialization; invalid params only fail at signing time.
fix
Ensure credentials and region are correct before calling sign() to avoid opaque errors.
affects: all
deprecatedThe library does not support AWS Signature V4A or temporary credentials from STS automatically; you must supply temp creds manually.
fix
If using temporary credentials (session token), include it as a custom header or use a different library that supports session tokens natively.
