I have a problem with using Python-Boto SDK for S3 Buckets for region Frankfurt. According to Amazon link this region will only support V4.
This document explains how to add V4 support for Boto SDK.
I have added a new section:
if not boto.config.get('s3', 'use-sigv4'):
boto.config.add_section('s3')
boto.config.set('s3', 'use-sigv4', 'True')
and then I have created new connection and got all buckets:
connection = S3Connection(accesskey, secretkey, host=S3Connection.DefaultHost)
buckets = connection.get_all_buckets()
it works fine, but then I tried to get all keys for my bucket:
for bucket in buckets:
bucket.get_all_keys()
and I got the following:
S3ResponseError: 400 Bad Request
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error><Code>AuthorizationHeaderMalformed</Code><Message>The authorization header is malformed; the region 'us-east-1' is wrong; expecting 'eu-central-1'</Message><Region>eu-central-1</Region>
Why did it occur?
After that I connected to the region and got all needed data:
region_con = boto.s3.connect_to_region('eu-central-1', aws_access_key_id=accesskey, aws_secret_access_key=secretkey)
bucket = region_con.get_bucket(bucket.name)
bucket.get_all_keys()
How can I fix it properly?
I had the same issue using Boto. The region was Frankfurt and got errors about wrong regions. The solution for me was just to point a host (an URI got from this page http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html) to 's3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com' instead of default 's3.amazonaws.com'
s3 = boto.s3.connect_to_region('eu-central-1',
aws_access_key_id=accesskey,
aws_secret_access_key=secretkey,
host='s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com')
Try removing s3 from boto config, following code works for me
if 's3' in boto.config.sections():
boto.config.remove_section('s3')
hsrv's answer above works for boto 2. For boto3
, the following is broadly equivalent:
s3 = boto3.client('s3', region_name='eu-central-1')
Alternatively, you can set the region
field in your .aws/config
:
[default]
output = json
region = eu-central-1
This sets the default region; you can still pick a specific region in Python as above.
The significance of the region varies from service to service (for example, assuming you're not sat in a VPC, you can access an S3 bucket from anywhere). In this case, however, the important thing is that newer regions (such as Frankfurt) only support the newer authentication scheme (AWS4-HMAC-SHA256). Boto runs into problems if you try to connect to anything in such a region from a region that still uses the old scheme (such as Dublin).
for boto2 -- adding this to the .boto config worked
[s3]
use-sigv4 = True
host=s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
