# Code examples for Kinesis using Amazon SDKs
<a name="service_code_examples"></a>

The following code examples show how to use Kinesis with an Amazon software development kit (SDK). 

*Basics* are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.

*Actions* are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

For a complete list of Amazon SDK developer guides and code examples, see [Using this service with an Amazon SDK](sdk-general-information-section.md). This topic also includes information about getting started and details about previous SDK versions.
