It takes AWS credentials and request details, constructs a valid SigV4 signature, and attaches it to outgoing HTTP requests so they authenticate against AWS API endpoints. The package depends on requests for HTTP transport, boto3 for credential handling, and requests-aws-sign for the actual signing logic.\n\nThe package was last updated in June 2022 and is no longer maintained. While it still installs and its dependencies remain active, there is no ongoing development, bug fixes, or compatibility updates. For new projects, you should verify whether boto3's native request signing or other maintained alternatives better suit your needs.","worth_installing":"No\u2014the package is abandoned with no updates since June 2022. While it has low install friction and permissive licensing, the lack of maintenance creates risk for compatibility issues with current AWS APIs and Python versions. Use boto3's built-in request signing or an actively maintained alternative instead."},"id":"requests-sigv4","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requests-sigv4","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requests-sigv4.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/requests-sigv4/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-06-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"requests-sigv4","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Library for making sigv4 requests to AWS API endpoints"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2441882,"position":3062,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.6"}
