- aws4
- ----
- A small utility to sign [vanilla Node.js http(s)](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html) request options using Amazon's
- [AWS Signature Version 4](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html).
- If you want to sign and send AWS requests using [`fetch()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API), then check out [aws4fetch](https://github.com/mhart/aws4fetch) – otherwise you can also bundle this library for use [in older browsers](./browser).
- The only AWS service I know of that *doesn't* support v4 is
- [SimpleDB](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonSimpleDB/latest/DeveloperGuide/SDB_API.html)
- (it only supports [AWS Signature Version 2](https://github.com/mhart/aws2)).
- It also provides defaults for a number of core AWS headers and
- request parameters, making it very easy to query AWS services, or
- build out a fully-featured AWS library.
- Example
- -------
- ```javascript
- var https = require('https')
- var aws4 = require('aws4')
- // to illustrate usage, we'll create a utility function to request and pipe to stdout
- function request(opts) { https.request(opts, function(res) { res.pipe(process.stdout) }).end(opts.body || '') }
- // aws4 will sign an options object as you'd pass to http.request, with an AWS service and region
- var opts = { host: 'my-bucket.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com', path: '/my-object', service: 's3', region: 'us-west-1' }
- // aws4.sign() will sign and modify these options, ready to pass to http.request
- aws4.sign(opts, { accessKeyId: '', secretAccessKey: '' })
- // or it can get credentials from process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, etc
- aws4.sign(opts)
- // for most AWS services, aws4 can figure out the service and region if you pass a host
- opts = { host: 'my-bucket.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com', path: '/my-object' }
- // usually it will add/modify request headers, but you can also sign the query:
- opts = { host: 'my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com', path: '/?X-Amz-Expires=12345', signQuery: true }
- // and for services with simple hosts, aws4 can infer the host from service and region:
- opts = { service: 'sqs', region: 'us-east-1', path: '/?Action=ListQueues' }
- // and if you're using us-east-1, it's the default:
- opts = { service: 'sqs', path: '/?Action=ListQueues' }
- aws4.sign(opts)
- console.log(opts)
- /*
- {
- host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
- path: '/?Action=ListQueues',
- headers: {
- Host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
- 'X-Amz-Date': '20121226T061030Z',
- Authorization: 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=ABCDEF/20121226/us-east-1/sqs/aws4_request, ...'
- }
- }
- */
- // we can now use this to query AWS
- request(opts)
- /*
- <?xml version="1.0"?>
- <ListQueuesResponse xmlns="https://queue.amazonaws.com/doc/2012-11-05/">
- ...
- */
- // aws4 can infer the HTTP method if a body is passed in
- // method will be POST and Content-Type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'
- request(aws4.sign({ service: 'iam', body: 'Action=ListGroups&Version=2010-05-08' }))
- /*
- <ListGroupsResponse xmlns="https://iam.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-05-08/">
- ...
- */
- // you can specify any custom option or header as per usual
- request(aws4.sign({
- service: 'dynamodb',
- region: 'ap-southeast-2',
- method: 'POST',
- path: '/',
- headers: {
- 'Content-Type': 'application/x-amz-json-1.0',
- 'X-Amz-Target': 'DynamoDB_20120810.ListTables'
- },
- body: '{}'
- }))
- /*
- {"TableNames":[]}
- ...
- */
- // you can also specify extra headers to ignore during signing
- request(aws4.sign({
- host: '07tjusf2h91cunochc.us-east-1.aoss.amazonaws.com',
- method: 'PUT',
- path: '/my-index',
- body: '{"mappings":{}}',
- headers: {
- 'Content-Type': 'application/json',
- 'X-Amz-Content-Sha256': 'UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD'
- },
- extraHeadersToIgnore: {
- 'content-length': true
- }
- }))
- // and headers to include that would normally be ignored
- request(aws4.sign({
- service: 'mycustomservice',
- path: '/whatever',
- headers: {
- 'Range': 'bytes=200-1000, 2000-6576, 19000-'
- },
- extraHeadersToInclude: {
- 'range': true
- }
- }))
- // The raw RequestSigner can be used to generate CodeCommit Git passwords
- var signer = new aws4.RequestSigner({
- service: 'codecommit',
- host: 'git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
- method: 'GIT',
- path: '/v1/repos/MyAwesomeRepo',
- })
- var password = signer.getDateTime() + 'Z' + signer.signature()
- // see example.js for examples with other services
- ```
- API
- ---
- ### aws4.sign(requestOptions, [credentials])
- Calculates and populates any necessary AWS headers and/or request
- options on `requestOptions`. Returns `requestOptions` as a convenience for chaining.
- `requestOptions` is an object holding the same options that the Node.js
- [http.request](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback)
- function takes.
- The following properties of `requestOptions` are used in the signing or
- populated if they don't already exist:
- - `hostname` or `host` (will try to be determined from `service` and `region` if not given)
- - `method` (will use `'GET'` if not given or `'POST'` if there is a `body`)
- - `path` (will use `'/'` if not given)
- - `body` (will use `''` if not given)
- - `service` (will try to be calculated from `hostname` or `host` if not given)
- - `region` (will try to be calculated from `hostname` or `host` or use `'us-east-1'` if not given)
- - `signQuery` (to sign the query instead of adding an `Authorization` header, defaults to false)
- - `extraHeadersToIgnore` (an object with lowercase header keys to ignore when signing, eg `{ 'content-length': true }`)
- - `extraHeadersToInclude` (an object with lowercase header keys to include when signing, overriding any ignores)
- - `headers['Host']` (will use `hostname` or `host` or be calculated if not given)
- - `headers['Content-Type']` (will use `'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'`
- if not given and there is a `body`)
- - `headers['Date']` (used to calculate the signature date if given, otherwise `new Date` is used)
- Your AWS credentials (which can be found in your
- [AWS console](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/securityCredentials))
- can be specified in one of two ways:
- - As the second argument, like this:
- ```javascript
- aws4.sign(requestOptions, {
- secretAccessKey: "<your-secret-access-key>",
- accessKeyId: "<your-access-key-id>",
- sessionToken: "<your-session-token>"
- })
- ```
- - From `process.env`, such as this:
- ```
- export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<your-access-key-id>"
- export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<your-secret-access-key>"
- export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="<your-session-token>"
- ```
- (will also use `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` and `AWS_SECRET_KEY` if available)
- The `sessionToken` property and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` environment variable are optional for signing
- with [IAM STS temporary credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_use-resources.html).
- Installation
- ------------
- With [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) do:
- ```
- npm install aws4
- ```
- Can also be used [in the browser](./browser).
- Thanks
- ------
- Thanks to [@jed](https://github.com/jed) for his
- [dynamo-client](https://github.com/jed/dynamo-client) lib where I first
- committed and subsequently extracted this code.
- Also thanks to the
- [official Node.js AWS SDK](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js) for giving
- me a start on implementing the v4 signature.
