It wraps the signing logic and integrates seamlessly with requests' auth parameter, allowing you to make authenticated calls to any AWS service\u2014including API Gateway, Elasticsearch, STS, EC2, and others\u2014without manually constructing signatures.\n\nThe package supports multiple credential sources: it will automatically use boto3-configured credentials (AWS CLI or SDK settings) if available, fall back to environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SESSION_TOKEN), or accept credentials passed directly as parameters. It also includes a command-line interface for curl-like usage and supports temporary security credentials from AWS STS.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need AWS SigV4 authentication with requests and are comfortable with dormant maintenance. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but it has not been updated since 2021-02-16.
