aws4 ---- [](http://travis-ci.org/mhart/aws4) A small utility to sign vanilla node.js http(s) request options using Amazon's [AWS Signature Version 4](http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html). Can also be used [in the browser](./browser). This signature is supported by nearly all Amazon services, including [S3](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/), [EC2](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/), [DynamoDB](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/API.html), [Kinesis](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesis/latest/APIReference/), [Lambda](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/API_Reference.html), [SQS](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/APIReference/), [SNS](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/api/), [IAM](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/APIReference/), [STS](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/), [RDS](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/APIReference/), [CloudWatch](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/APIReference/), [CloudWatch Logs](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/), [CodeDeploy](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/APIReference/), [CloudFront](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/APIReference/), [CloudTrail](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/APIReference/), [ElastiCache](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/APIReference/), [EMR](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticMapReduce/latest/API/), [Glacier](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/amazon-glacier-api.html), [CloudSearch](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudsearch/latest/developerguide/APIReq.html), [Elastic Load Balancing](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/APIReference/), [Elastic Transcoder](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/latest/developerguide/api-reference.html), [CloudFormation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/APIReference/), [Elastic Beanstalk](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/api/), [Storage Gateway](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegateway/latest/userguide/AWSStorageGatewayAPI.html), [Data Pipeline](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/datapipeline/latest/APIReference/), [Direct Connect](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/directconnect/latest/APIReference/), [Redshift](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/APIReference/), [OpsWorks](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/opsworks/latest/APIReference/), [SES](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/APIReference/), [SWF](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonswf/latest/apireference/), [AutoScaling](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AutoScaling/latest/APIReference/), [Mobile Analytics](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/mobileanalytics/latest/ug/server-reference.html), [Cognito Identity](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognitoidentity/latest/APIReference/), [Cognito Sync](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognitosync/latest/APIReference/), [Container Service](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/), [AppStream](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/appstream/latest/developerguide/appstream-api-rest.html), [Key Management Service](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/kms/latest/APIReference/), [Config](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/), [CloudHSM](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudhsm/latest/dg/api-ref.html), [Route53](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/requests-rest.html) and [Route53 Domains](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/requests-rpc.html). Indeed, the only AWS services that *don't* support v4 as of 2014-12-30 are [Import/Export](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSImportExport/latest/DG/api-reference.html) and [SimpleDB](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonSimpleDB/latest/DeveloperGuide/SDB_API.html) (they only support [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 http = require('http'), https = require('https'), aws4 = require('aws4') // given an options object you could pass to http.request var opts = {host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com', path: '/?Action=ListQueues'} // alternatively (as aws4 can infer the host): opts = {service: 'sqs', region: 'us-east-1', path: '/?Action=ListQueues'} // alternatively (as us-east-1 is default): opts = {service: 'sqs', path: '/?Action=ListQueues'} aws4.sign(opts) // assumes AWS credentials are available in process.env 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 using the standard node.js http API http.request(opts, function(res) { res.pipe(process.stdout) }).end() /* <?xml version="1.0"?> <ListQueuesResponse xmlns="http://queue.amazonaws.com/doc/2012-11-05/"> ... */ ``` More options ------------ ```javascript // you can also pass AWS credentials in explicitly (otherwise taken from process.env) aws4.sign(opts, {accessKeyId: '', secretAccessKey: ''}) // can also add the signature to query strings aws4.sign({service: 's3', path: '/my-bucket?X-Amz-Expires=12345', signQuery: true}) // create a utility function to pipe to stdout (with https this time) function request(o) { https.request(o, function(res) { res.pipe(process.stdout) }).end(o.body || '') } // 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'

aws4.sign(requestOptions, [credentials]) This calculates and populates the `Authorization` header of `requestOptions`, and any other necessary AWS headers and/or request options. Returns `requestOptions` as a convenience for chaining. `requestOptions` is an object holding the same options that the node.js [http.request](http://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 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 be calculated from `hostname` or `host` if not given) - `region` (will be calculated from `hostname` or `host` or use `'us-east-1'` if not given) - `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_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<your-secret-access-key>" export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<your-access-key-id>" 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](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/UsingSTS/using-temp-creds.html). Installation ------------ With [npm](http://npmjs.org/) 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.
