[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/mhart/aws4.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/github/mhart/aws4) | |
A small utility to sign vanilla Node.js http(s) request options using Amazon's | |
[AWS Signature Version 4](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html). | |
If you want to sign and send AWS requests in a 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). | |
The only AWS service that *doesn't* support v4 as of 2020-05-22 is | |
[SimpleDB](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonSimpleDB/latest/DeveloperGuide/SDB_API.html) | |
(it only supports [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 https = require('https') | |
var aws4 = require('aws4') | |
// to illustrate usage, we'll create a utility function to request and pipe to stdout | |
function request(opts) { https.request(opts, function(res) { res.pipe(process.stdout) }).end(opts.body || '') } | |
// aws4 will sign an options object as you'd pass to http.request, with an AWS service and region | |
var opts = { host: 'my-bucket.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com', path: '/my-object', service: 's3', region: 'us-west-1' } | |
// aws4.sign() will sign and modify these options, ready to pass to http.request | |
aws4.sign(opts, { accessKeyId: '', secretAccessKey: '' }) | |
// or it can get credentials from process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, etc | |
aws4.sign(opts) | |
// for most AWS services, aws4 can figure out the service and region if you pass a host | |
opts = { host: 'my-bucket.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com', path: '/my-object' } | |
// usually it will add/modify request headers, but you can also sign the query: | |
opts = { host: 'my-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com', path: '/?X-Amz-Expires=12345', signQuery: true } | |
// and for services with simple hosts, aws4 can infer the host from service and region: | |
opts = { service: 'sqs', region: 'us-east-1', path: '/?Action=ListQueues' } | |
// and if you're using us-east-1, it's the default: | |
opts = { service: 'sqs', path: '/?Action=ListQueues' } | |
aws4.sign(opts) | |
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 | |
request(opts) | |
/* | |
<?xml version="1.0"?> | |
<ListQueuesResponse xmlns="https://queue.amazonaws.com/doc/2012-11-05/"> | |
... | |
*/ | |
// 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' | |
request(aws4.sign({ service: 'iam', body: 'Action=ListGroups&Version=2010-05-08' })) | |
/* | |
<ListGroupsResponse xmlns="https://iam.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-05-08/"> | |
... | |
*/ | |
// you can specify any custom option or header as per usual | |
request(aws4.sign({ | |
service: 'dynamodb', | |
region: 'ap-southeast-2', | |
method: 'POST', | |
path: '/', | |
headers: { | |
'Content-Type': 'application/x-amz-json-1.0', | |
'X-Amz-Target': 'DynamoDB_20120810.ListTables' | |
}, | |
body: '{}' | |
})) | |
/* | |
{"TableNames":[]} | |
... | |
*/ | |
// you can also specify extra headers to ignore during signing | |
request(aws4.sign({ | |
host: '07tjusf2h91cunochc.us-east-1.aoss.amazonaws.com', | |
method: 'PUT', | |
path: '/my-index', | |
body: '{"mappings":{}}', | |
headers: { | |
'Content-Type': 'application/json', | |
'X-Amz-Content-Sha256': 'UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD' | |
}, | |
extraHeadersToIgnore: { | |
'content-length': true | |
} | |
})) | |
// and headers to include that would normally be ignored | |
request(aws4.sign({ | |
service: 'mycustomservice', | |
path: '/whatever', | |
headers: { | |
'Range': 'bytes=200-1000, 2000-6576, 19000-' | |
}, | |
extraHeadersToInclude: { | |
'range': true | |
} | |
})) | |
// The raw RequestSigner can be used to generate CodeCommit Git passwords | |
var signer = new aws4.RequestSigner({ | |
service: 'codecommit', | |
host: 'git-codecommit.us-east-1.amazonaws.com', | |
method: 'GIT', | |
path: '/v1/repos/MyAwesomeRepo', | |
}) | |
var password = signer.getDateTime() + 'Z' + signer.signature() | |
// see example.js for examples with other services | |
``` | |

### aws4.sign(requestOptions, [credentials]) | |
Calculates and populates any necessary AWS headers and/or request | |
options on `requestOptions`. Returns `requestOptions` as a convenience for chaining. | |
`requestOptions` is an object holding the same options that the Node.js | |
[http.request](https://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 try to 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 try to be calculated from `hostname` or `host` if not given) | |
- `region` (will try to be calculated from `hostname` or `host` or use `'us-east-1'` if not given) | |
- `signQuery` (to sign the query instead of adding an `Authorization` header, defaults to false) | |
- `extraHeadersToIgnore` (an object with lowercase header keys to ignore when signing, eg `{ 'content-length': true }`) | |
- `extraHeadersToInclude` (an object with lowercase header keys to include when signing, overriding any ignores) | |
- `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_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<your-access-key-id>" | |
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<your-secret-access-key>" | |
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](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_use-resources.html). | |
Installation | |
------------ | |
With [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) do: | |
``` | |
npm install aws4 | |
``` | |
Can also be used [in the browser](./browser). | |

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. | |
