Read S3 File with Python

To read a file from Amazon S3 using Python, you can use the boto3 library, which is the
official AWS SDK for Python. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to accomplish this:

1. Install the `boto3` library if you haven't already done so. You can install it using pip by
running the following command:
shell Copy code

pip install boto3

2. Configure the AWS credentials. You'll need to set up your AWS access key ID and secret
access key. You can do this by creating a configuration file or by setting environment
variables. Refer to the boto3 documentation for more information on how to configure
your AWS credentials.
3. Import the necessary libraries and create a Boto3 S3 client:
python Copy code

import boto3

# Create an S3 client
s3 = boto3.client('s3')

4. Use the `download_file` method to download the file from S3:


python Copy code

bucket_name = 'your-bucket-name' # Replace with your bucket name


object_key = 'your-object-key' # Replace with your object key (file pa

file_name = 'local-file.txt' # Replace with the desired local file n

# Download the file from S3


s3.download_file(bucket_name, object_key, file_name)

In the code above, you need to replace `'your-bucket-name'` with the name of your S3
bucket and `'your-object-key'` with the object key (file path) of the file you want to
download from S3. Also, provide the desired name for the file to be saved locally in the
`file_name` variable.
5. After executing the code, the specified file will be downloaded from S3 and saved locally
with the provided file name.

That's it! You've successfully read a file from AWS S3 using Python.
