Boto3 Error: botocore.exceptions.NoCredentialsError: Unable to locate credentials

Question

When I simply run the following code, I always gets this error.

s3 = boto3.resource(\'s3\')
    bucket_name = \"python-sdk-sample-%s\" % uuid.uuid4()
    pri         


        

Answer 1

try specifying keys manually

    s3 = boto3.resource('s3',
         aws_access_key_id=ACCESS_ID,
         aws_secret_access_key= ACCESS_KEY)

Make sure you don't include your ACCESS_ID and ACCESS_KEY in the code directly for security concerns. Consider using environment configs and injecting them in the code as suggested by @Tiger_Mike.

For Prod environments consider using rotating access keys: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html#Using_RotateAccessKey
