Get started quickly using AWS with boto3, the AWS SDK for Python. Boto3 makes it easy to integrate your Python application, library, or script with AWS services including Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, Amazon DynamoDB, and more. Boto3 has two distinct levels of APIs. Client (or "low-level") APIs provide one-to-one mappings to the underlying HTTP API operations. Resource APIs hide explicit network calls but instead provide resource objects and collections to access attributes and perform actions. Boto3's 'client' and 'resource' interfaces have dynamically generated classes driven by JSON models that describe AWS APIs. This allows us to provide very fast updates with strong consistency across all supported services. Boto3 was written from the ground up to provide native support in Python versions 2.7+ and 3.4+.
Features
- Boto3 comes with 'waiters', which automatically poll for pre-defined status changes in AWS resources
- Boto3 comes with many features that are service-specific, such as automatic multi-part transfers for Amazon S3 and simplified query conditions for Amazon DynamoDB
- You can find the latest, most up to date, documentation at our doc site, including a list of services that are supported
- You can run tests in all supported Python versions using tox
- You can also run individual tests with your default Python version
- Allows Python developers to write software that makes use of services like Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2
