Use PutRecord with an Amazon SDK or CLI

To write a record to a stream

The following put-record example writes data to a stream. The data is encoded in Base64 format.

aws firehose put-record \
    --delivery-stream-name my-stream \
    --record '{"Data":"SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ="}'

Output:

{
    "RecordId": "RjB5K/nnoGFHqwTsZlNd/TTqvjE8V5dsyXZTQn2JXrdpMTOwssyEb6nfC8fwf1whhwnItt4mvrn+gsqeK5jB7QjuLg283+Ps4Sz/j1Xujv31iDhnPdaLw4BOyM9Amv7PcCuB2079RuM0NhoakbyUymlwY8yt20G8X2420wu1jlFafhci4erAt7QhDEvpwuK8N1uOQ1EuaKZWxQHDzcG6tk1E49IPeD9k",
    "Encrypted": false
}
