It generates the cryptographic signatures and authorization headers needed to authenticate requests to AWS services and AWS-compatible endpoints like MinIO. The library is intentionally unopinionated\u2014it works with any HTTP client (requests, aiohttp, etc.) and requires no external dependencies, making it easy to integrate into existing projects.\n\nThe package supports three signing workflows: adding authorization headers directly to requests, pre-signing URLs for temporary access, and signing S3 POST policies for HTML form uploads. It includes an optional authentication helper for the requests library but can be used standalone with any HTTP transport. The codebase is actively maintained, supports Python 3.6.1 and newer, and has no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package solves a specific, well-defined problem (AWS Signature V4 signing) with zero dependencies, active maintenance, and no security issues. Install it if you need to sign AWS requests outside the official SDK or in environments where the full boto3 library is overkill."},"id":"aws-request-signer","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-request-signer","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-request-signer.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aws-request-signer/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-02-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aws-request-signer","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A python library to sign AWS requests using AWS Signature V4."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":148038,"position":11046,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.0"}
