How to save S3 object to a file using boto3

Question

I\'m trying to do a \"hello world\" with new boto3 client for AWS.

The use-case I have is fairly simple: get object from S3 and save it to the file.

In boto

Answer 1

# Preface: File is json with contents: {'name': 'Android', 'status': 'ERROR'}

import boto3
import io

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')

obj = s3.Object('my-bucket', 'key-to-file.json')
data = io.BytesIO()
obj.download_fileobj(data)

# object is now a bytes string, Converting it to a dict:
new_dict = json.loads(data.getvalue().decode("utf-8"))

print(new_dict['status']) 
# Should print "Error"
