How to specify credentials when connecting to boto3 S3?

Question

On boto I used to specify my credentials when connecting to S3 in such a way:

import boto
from boto.s3.connection import Key, S3Connection
S3 = S3Connection(         


        

Answer 1

You can create a session:

import boto3
session = boto3.Session(
    aws_access_key_id=settings.AWS_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY,
    aws_secret_access_key=settings.AWS_SERVER_SECRET_KEY,
)

Then use that session to get an S3 resource:

s3 = session.resource('s3')
