Using Amazon s3 boto library, how can I get the URL of a saved key?

Question

I am saving a key to a bucket with:

    key = bucket.new_key(fileName)
    key.set_contents_from_string(base64.b64decode(data))
    key.set_metadata(\'Content-Ty         


        

Answer 1

import boto
from boto.s3.connection import S3Connection

conn = S3Connection('AWS_ACCESS_KEY', 'AWS_SECRET_KEY')

secure_https_url = 'https://{host}/{bucket}/{key}'.format(
    host=conn.server_name(),
    bucket='name-of-bucket',
    key='name_of_key')

http_url = 'http://{bucket}.{host}/{key}'.format(
    host=conn.server_name(),
    bucket='name-of-bucket',
    key='name_of_key')

That's how I did it in boto 2.23.0 for a public URL. I couldn't get the expires_in=None argument to work.

Note that for HTTPS you can't use a subdomain.
