Each form of post request gives a different error. Does anyone with experience in structuring post requests (or requests to Amazon's API) know what I am doing wrong?



Before anyone writes, "Use their Python SDK." I can't. Their SDK is blocking and I have to do this asynchronously. I plan to move from requests to aiohttp. I am trying to get this in requests for now because that is simpler to ask this question in.



Please help if you can, thank you for reading.

Each form of post request gives a different error. Does anyone with experience in structuring post requests (or requests to Amazon's API) know what I am doing wrong?



Before anyone writes, "Use their Python SDK." I can't. Their SDK is blocking and I have to do this asynchronously. I plan to move from requests to aiohttp. I am trying to get this in requests for now because that is simpler to ask this question in.



Please help if you can, thank you for reading.

This is the code for the get request I currently use to send an email through Amazon's Simple email service:



import datetime
import hashlib
import hmac
import urllib.parse
import requests


def sign(key, msg):
return hmac.new(key, msg.encode('utf-8'), hashlib.sha256).digest()


def getSignatureKey(key, dateStamp, regionName, serviceName):
kDate = sign(('AWS4' + key).encode('utf-8'), dateStamp)
kRegion = sign(kDate, regionName)
kService = sign(kRegion, serviceName)
kSigning = sign(kService, 'aws4_request')
return kSigning


method = 'GET'
service = 'ses'
host = 'email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'
region = 'us-east-1'
endpoint = 'https://email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/'
access_key = 'my_access_key'
secret_key = 'my_secret_key'
my_email = 'my_email_address'

t = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
amz_date = t.strftime('%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ')
datestamp = t.strftime('%Y%m%d')
canonical_uri = '/'
canonical_headers = 'host:' + host + 'n'
signed_headers = 'host'
algorithm = 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256'
credential_scope = datestamp + '/' + region + '/' + service + '/' + 'aws4_request'

canonical_querystring_part1 = 'Action=SendEmail'
'&Destination.ToAddresses.member.1='
'&Message.Body.Html.Charset=UTF-8'
'&Message.Body.Html.Data='
'&Message.Body.Text.Charset=UTF-8'

urllib.parse.quote('<b>Html Hello.</b>', safe=''),
urllib.parse.quote('Non Html hello.', safe=''),
urllib.parse.quote('Asyncio Subject line.', safe=''),
urllib.parse.quote(my_email, safe=''))
canonical_querystring_part2 = '&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256'
canonical_querystring_part2 += '&X-Amz-Credential=' + urllib.parse.quote_plus(access_key + '/' + credential_scope)

canonical_querystring_part2 += '&X-Amz-Expires=30'
canonical_querystring_part2 += '&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=' + signed_headers

canonical_request = method + 'n' + canonical_uri + 'n' + canonical_querystring + 'n' + canonical_headers + 'n' + signed_headers + 'n' + payload_hash
string_to_sign = algorithm + 'n' + amz_date + 'n' + credential_scope + 'n' + hashlib.sha256(canonical_request.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()

signing_key = getSignatureKey(secret_key, datestamp, region, service)
signature = hmac.new(signing_key, string_to_sign.encode('utf-8'), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()

canonical_querystring += '&X-Amz-Signature=' + signature
request_url = endpoint + "?" + canonical_querystring


r = requests.get(request_url)


It is a bit long, but it runs fine. This is my attempt at doing the exact same thing, but with a post request:



import datetime
import hashlib
import hmac
import requests


def sign(key, msg):
return hmac.new(key, msg.encode('utf-8'), hashlib.sha256).digest()


def getSignatureKey(key, dateStamp, regionName, serviceName):
kDate = sign(('AWS4' + key).encode('utf-8'), dateStamp)
kRegion = sign(kDate, regionName)
kService = sign(kRegion, serviceName)
kSigning = sign(kService, 'aws4_request')
return kSigning


method = 'POST'
service = 'ses'
host = 'email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com'
region = 'us-east-1'
endpoint = 'https://email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/'
access_key = 'my_access_key'
secret_key = 'my_secret_key'
my_email = 'my_email_address'


content_type = 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'


# Request parameters for CreateTable--passed in a JSON block.
request_parameters = ''
request_parameters += "'body': 'Action': 'SendEmail', 'Destination.ToAddresses.member.1': '%s', 'Message.Body.Html.Charset': 'UTF-8', "
"'Message.Body.Html.Data': 'HTMLMESSAGE', 'Message.Body.Text.Charset': 'UTF-8', 'Message.Body.Text.Data': 'nonHTMLmessage', 'Message.Subject.Charset': 'UTF-8', "
"'Message.Subject.Data': 'subject','Source': '%s', " % (my_email, my_email)
request_parameters += "'Content-Type': '%s', " % content_type
request_parameters += "'context': 'client_region': 'us-east-1'"
request_parameters += ''


t = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
amz_date = t.strftime('%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ')
date_stamp = t.strftime('%Y%m%d')


canonical_uri = '/'
canonical_querystring = ''
canonical_headers = 'content-type:' + content_type + 'n' + 'host:' + host + 'n' + 'x-amz-date:' + amz_date + 'n'
signed_headers = 'content-type;host;x-amz-date'

payload_hash = hashlib.sha256(request_parameters.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()

canonical_request = method + 'n' + canonical_uri + 'n' + canonical_querystring + 'n' + canonical_headers + 'n' + signed_headers + 'n' + payload_hash
algorithm = 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256'
credential_scope = date_stamp + '/' + region + '/' + service + '/' + 'aws4_request'

string_to_sign = algorithm + 'n' + amz_date + 'n' + credential_scope + 'n' + hashlib.sha256(canonical_request.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()
signing_key = getSignatureKey(secret_key, date_stamp, region, service)
signature = hmac.new(signing_key, string_to_sign.encode('utf-8'), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()

authorization_header = algorithm + ' ' + 'Credential=' + access_key + '/' + credential_scope + ', ' + 'SignedHeaders=' + signed_headers + ', ' + 'Signature=' + signature
headers = 'Content-Type': content_type, 'X-Amz-Date': amz_date, 'Authorization': authorization_header


r = requests.post(endpoint, params=request_parameters, headers=headers)


Im following Amazon's documentation as best I can for the v4 signing process here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/sigv4-signed-request-examples.html



Im also using complete get and post request examples they have for SES found here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/query-interface-examples.html



For some reason it is not working. I tried changing the kwarg in my post request from params to json to data.



r = requests.post(endpoint, params=request_parameters, headers=headers)
<IncompleteSignatureException>
<Message>When Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded, URL cannot include query-string parameters (after '?'): '/?%7B'body':%20%7B'Action':%20'SendEmail',%20'Destination.ToAddresses.member.1':%20'ArbiBushka717@gmail.com',%20'Message.Body.Html.Charset':%20'UTF-8',%20'Message.Body.Html.Data':%20'HTMLMESSAGE',%20'Message.Body.Text.Charset':%20'UTF-8',%20'Message.Body.Text.Data':%20'nonHTMLmessage',%20'Message.Subject.Charset':%20'UTF-8',%20'Message.Subject.Data':%20'subject','Source':%20'ArbiBushka717@gmail.com'%7D,%20'Content-Type':%20'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;%20charset=utf-8',%20'context':%20%7B'client_region':%20'us-east-1'%7D%7D'</Message>

wait nvm I got to. To specify a body in requests you use the "data" kwarg.



Also my variable request_parameters needed to be in the format param1=This&param2=that



Wow what a headache.
