The AwsRestClient module provides an API for calling AWS REST services.

To use this module, use "%requires AwsRestClient" in your code.

• AwsRestClient: this class provides the REST client API for communuication with the AWS REST API; it also automates authentication and authorization
• AwsRestConnection: provides a REST connection object to a the AWS server (based on the ConnectionProvider module)

Example:

#!/usr/bin/env qore
 
%new-style
%strict-args
%require-types
%enable-all-warnings
 
%requires AwsRestClient
 
hash<auto> opts = {
    "url": "https://iam.amazonaws.com",
    "aws_keyid": ENV.AWS_KEY_ID,
    "aws_secret": ENV.AWS_SECRET,
    "aws_region": "eu-central-1",
    "aws_service": "iotevents",
};
