cloudpathlib.S3Client

Client class for AWS S3 which handles authentication with AWS for S3Path instances. See documentation for the __init__ method for detailed authentication options.

Methods

__init__(self, aws_access_key_id: Optional[str] = None, aws_secret_access_key: Optional[str] = None, aws_session_token: Optional[str] = None, botocore_session: Optional[botocore.session.Session] = None, profile_name: Optional[str] = None, boto3_session: Optional[Session] = None, local_cache_dir: Union[str, os.PathLike] = None, endpoint_url: Optional[str] = None, boto3_transfer_config: Optional[TransferConfig] = None) special

Class constructor. Sets up a boto3 Session. Directly supports the same authentication interface, as well as the same environment variables supported by boto3. See boto3 Session documentation.

If no authentication arguments or environment variables are provided, then the client will be instantiated as anonymous, which will only have access to public buckets.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
aws_access_key_id Optional[str]

AWS access key ID.

None
aws_secret_access_key Optional[str]

AWS secret access key.

None
aws_session_token Optional[str]

Session key for your AWS account. This is only needed when you are using temporarycredentials.

None
botocore_session Optional[botocore.session.Session]

An already instantiated botocore Session.

None
profile_name Optional[str]

Profile name of a profile in a shared credentials file.

None
boto3_session Optional[Session]

An already instantiated boto3 Session.

None
local_cache_dir Union[str, os.PathLike]

Path to directory to use as cache for downloaded files. If None, will use a temporary directory.

None
endpoint_url Optional[str]

S3 server endpoint URL to use for the constructed boto3 S3 resource and client. Parameterize it to access a customly deployed S3-compatible object store such as MinIO, Ceph or any other.

None
boto3_transfer_config Optional[TransferConfig]

Instantiated TransferConfig for managing s3 transfers. (https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/customizations/s3.html#boto3.s3.transfer.TransferConfig)

None
