Using the Amazon SDKs to interact with Amazon OpenSearch Serverless

This section includes examples of how to use the Amazon SDKs to interact with Amazon OpenSearch Serverless. These code samples show how to create security policies and collections, and how to query collections.

Note

We're currently building out these code samples. If you want to contribute a code sample (Java, Go, etc.), please open a pull request directly within the GitHub repository.

Python

The following sample script uses the Amazon SDK for Python (Boto3), as well as the opensearch-py client for Python, to create encryption, network, and data access policies, create a matching collection, and index some sample data.

To install the required dependencies, run the following commands:


pip install opensearch-py
pip install boto3
pip install botocore
pip install requests-aws4auth

Within the script, replace the Principal element with the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the user or role that's signing the request. You can also optionally modify the region.


from opensearchpy import OpenSearch, RequestsHttpConnection
from requests_aws4auth import AWS4Auth
import boto3
import botocore
import time

# Build the client using the default credential configuration.
# You can use the CLI and run 'aws configure' to set access key, secret
# key, and default region.

client = boto3.client('opensearchserverless')
service = 'aoss'
region = 'us-east-1'
credentials = boto3.Session().get_credentials()
awsauth = AWS4Auth(credentials.access_key, credentials.secret_key,
                   region, service, session_token=credentials.token)

JavaScript

The following sample script uses the SDK for JavaScript in Node.js, as well as the opensearch-js client for JavaScript, to create encryption, network, and data access policies, create a matching collection, create an index, and index some sample data.

To install the required dependencies, run the following commands:


npm i aws-sdk
npm i aws4
npm i @opensearch-project/opensearch

Within the script, replace the Principal element with the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the user or role that's signing the request. You can also optionally modify the region.
