4[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/mhart/aws4.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/github/mhart/aws4)
5
6A small utility to sign vanilla Node.js http(s) request options using Amazon's
7[AWS Signature Version 4](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html).
8
9If you want to sign and send AWS requests in a modern browser, or an environment like [Cloudflare Workers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/), then check out [aws4fetch](https://github.com/mhart/aws4fetch) – otherwise you can also bundle this library for use [in older browsers](./browser).
10
11The only AWS service that *doesn't* support v4 as of 2020-05-22 is
12[SimpleDB](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonSimpleDB/latest/DeveloperGuide/SDB_API.html)
13(it only supports [AWS Signature Version 2](https://github.com/mhart/aws2)).
14
15It also provides defaults for a number of core AWS headers and
16request parameters, making it very easy to query AWS services, or
17build out a fully-featured AWS library.
18
19Example
20-------
21
22```javascript
23var https = require('https')
24var aws4 = require('aws4')
25
26// to illustrate usage, we'll create a utility function to request and pipe to stdout
27function request(opts) { https.request(opts, function(res) { res.pipe(process.stdout) }).end(opts.body || '') }
28
29// aws4 will sign an options object as you'd pass to http.request, with an AWS service and region
30var opts = { host: 'my-bucket.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com', path: '/my-object', service: 's3', region: 'us-west-1' }
31
32// aws4.sign() will sign and modify these options, ready to pass to http.request
33aws4.sign(opts, { accessKeyId: '', secretAccessKey: '' })
34
35// or it can get credentials from process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, etc
36aws4.sign(opts)
37
38// for most AWS services, aws4 can figure out the service and region if you pass a host
39opts = { host: 'my-bucket.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com', path: '/my-object' }
40
41// usually it will add/modify request headers, but you can also sign the query:
42opts = { host: 'my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com', path: '/?X-Amz-Expires=12345', signQuery: true }
43
44// and for services with simple hosts, aws4 can infer the host from service and region:
45opts = { service: 'sqs', region: 'us-east-1', path: '/?Action=ListQueues' }
46
47// and if you're using us-east-1, it's the default:
48opts = { service: 'sqs', path: '/?Action=ListQueues' }
49
50aws4.sign(opts)
51console.log(opts)
52/*
53{
54 host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
55 path: '/?Action=ListQueues',
56 headers: {
57 Host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
58 'X-Amz-Date': '20121226T061030Z',
59 Authorization: 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=ABCDEF/20121226/us-east-1/sqs/aws4_request, ...'
60 }
61}
62*/
63
64// we can now use this to query AWS
65request(opts)
66/*
67<?xml version="1.0"?>
68<ListQueuesResponse xmlns="https://queue.amazonaws.com/doc/2012-11-05/">
69...
70*/
71
72// aws4 can infer the HTTP method if a body is passed in
73// method will be POST and Content-Type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'
74request(aws4.sign({ service: 'iam', body: 'Action=ListGroups&Version=2010-05-08' }))
75/*
76<ListGroupsResponse xmlns="https://iam.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-05-08/">
77...
78*/
79
80// you can specify any custom option or header as per usual
81request(aws4.sign({
82 service: 'dynamodb',
83 region: 'ap-southeast-2',
84 method: 'POST',
85 path: '/',
86 headers: {
87 'Content-Type': 'application/x-amz-json-1.0',
88 'X-Amz-Target': 'DynamoDB_20120810.ListTables'
89 },
90 body: '{}'
91}))
92/*
93{"TableNames":[]}
94...
95*/
96
97// The raw RequestSigner can be used to generate CodeCommit Git passwords
98var signer = new aws4.RequestSigner({
99 service: 'codecommit',
100 host: 'git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
101 method: 'GIT',
102 path: '/v1/repos/MyAwesomeRepo',
103})
104var password = signer.getDateTime() + 'Z' + signer.signature()
105
106// see example.js for examples with other services

109API
110---
111
112### aws4.sign(requestOptions, [credentials])
113
114Calculates and populates any necessary AWS headers and/or request
115options on `requestOptions`. Returns `requestOptions` as a convenience for chaining.
116
117`requestOptions` is an object holding the same options that the Node.js
118[http.request](https://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback)
119function takes.
120
121The following properties of `requestOptions` are used in the signing or
122populated if they don't already exist:
123
124- `hostname` or `host` (will try to be determined from `service` and `region` if not given)
125- `method` (will use `'GET'` if not given or `'POST'` if there is a `body`)
126- `path` (will use `'/'` if not given)
127- `body` (will use `''` if not given)
128- `service` (will try to be calculated from `hostname` or `host` if not given)
129- `region` (will try to be calculated from `hostname` or `host` or use `'us-east-1'` if not given)
130- `signQuery` (to sign the query instead of adding an `Authorization` header, defaults to false)
131- `headers['Host']` (will use `hostname` or `host` or be calculated if not given)
132- `headers['Content-Type']` (will use `'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'`
133 if not given and there is a `body`)
134- `headers['Date']` (used to calculate the signature date if given, otherwise `new Date` is used)
135
136Your AWS credentials (which can be found in your
137[AWS console](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/securityCredentials))
138can be specified in one of two ways:
139
140- As the second argument, like this:
141
142```javascript
143aws4.sign(requestOptions, {
144 secretAccessKey: "<your-secret-access-key>",
145 accessKeyId: "<your-access-key-id>",
146 sessionToken: "<your-session-token>"
147})
148```
149
150- From `process.env`, such as this:
151
152```
153export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<your-access-key-id>"
154export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<your-secret-access-key>"
155export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="<your-session-token>"
156```
157
158(will also use `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` and `AWS_SECRET_KEY` if available)
159
160The `sessionToken` property and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` environment variable are optional for signing
161with [IAM STS temporary credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_use-resources.html).
162
163Installation
164------------
165
166With [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) do:
167
168```
169npm install aws4
170```
171
172Can also be used [in the browser](./browser).
173
174Thanks
175------
176
177Thanks to [@jed](https://github.com/jed) for his
178[dynamo-client](https://github.com/jed/dynamo-client) lib where I first
179committed and subsequently extracted this code.
180
181Also thanks to the
182[official Node.js AWS SDK](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js) for giving
183me a start on implementing the v4 signature.
Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the repository browser.
