[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/mhart/aws4.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/mhart/aws4)

A small utility to sign vanilla node.js http(s) request options using Amazon's
[AWS Signature Version 4](http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html).

Can also be used [in the browser](./browser).

This signature is supported by nearly all Amazon services, including
[S3](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/),
[EC2](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/),

[Route53](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/requests-rest.html) and
[Route53 Domains](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/requests-rpc.html).

Indeed, the only AWS services that *don't* support v4 as of 2014-12-30 are
[Import/Export](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSImportExport/latest/DG/api-reference.html) and
[SimpleDB](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonSimpleDB/latest/DeveloperGuide/SDB_API.html)
(they only support [AWS Signature Version 2](https://github.com/mhart/aws2)).

It also provides defaults for a number of core AWS headers and
request parameters, making it very easy to query AWS services, or
build out a fully-featured AWS library.

Example
-------

```javascript
var http  = require('http'),
    https = require('https'),
    aws4  = require('aws4')

// given an options object you could pass to http.request
var opts = {host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com', path: '/?Action=ListQueues'}

// alternatively (as aws4 can infer the host):
opts = {service: 'sqs', region: 'us-east-1', path: '/?Action=ListQueues'}

// alternatively (as us-east-1 is default):
opts = {service: 'sqs', path: '/?Action=ListQueues'}

aws4.sign(opts) // assumes AWS credentials are available in process.env

console.log(opts)
/*
{
  host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
  path: '/?Action=ListQueues',
  headers: {
    Host: 'sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com',
    'X-Amz-Date': '20121226T061030Z',
    Authorization: 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=ABCDEF/20121226/us-east-1/sqs/aws4_request, ...'
  }
}
*/

// we can now use this to query AWS using the standard node.js http API
http.request(opts, function(res) { res.pipe(process.stdout) }).end()
/*
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ListQueuesResponse xmlns="http://queue.amazonaws.com/doc/2012-11-05/">
...
*/
```

More options
------------

```javascript
// you can also pass AWS credentials in explicitly (otherwise taken from process.env)
aws4.sign(opts, {accessKeyId: '', secretAccessKey: ''})

// can also add the signature to query strings
aws4.sign({service: 's3', path: '/my-bucket?X-Amz-Expires=12345', signQuery: true})

// create a utility function to pipe to stdout (with https this time)
function request(o) { https.request(o, function(res) { res.pipe(process.stdout) }).end(o.body || '') }

// aws4 can infer the HTTP method if a body is passed in
// method will be POST and Content-Type: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'
request(aws4.sign({service: 'iam', body: 'Action=ListGroups&Version=2010-05-08'}))
/*
<ListGroupsResponse xmlns="https://iam.amazonaws.com/doc/2010-05-08/">
...
*/

// can specify any custom option or header as per usual
request(aws4.sign({
  service: 'dynamodb',
  region: 'ap-southeast-2',
  method: 'POST',
  path: '/',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-amz-json-1.0',
    'X-Amz-Target': 'DynamoDB_20120810.ListTables'
  },
  body: '{}'
}))

API
---

### aws4.sign(requestOptions, [credentials])

This calculates and populates the `Authorization` header of
`requestOptions`, and any other necessary AWS headers and/or request
options. Returns `requestOptions` as a convenience for chaining.

`requestOptions` is an object holding the same options that the node.js
[http.request](http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/http.html#http_http_request_options_callback)
function takes.

The following properties of `requestOptions` are used in the signing or
populated if they don't already exist:

- `hostname` or `host` (will be determined from `service` and `region` if not given)
- `method` (will use `'GET'` if not given or `'POST'` if there is a `body`)
- `path` (will use `'/'` if not given)
- `body` (will use `''` if not given)
- `service` (will be calculated from `hostname` or `host` if not given)
- `region` (will be calculated from `hostname` or `host` or use `'us-east-1'` if not given)
- `headers['Host']` (will use `hostname` or `host` or be calculated if not given)
- `headers['Content-Type']` (will use `'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8'`
  if not given and there is a `body`)
- `headers['Date']` (used to calculate the signature date if given, otherwise `new Date` is used)

Your AWS credentials (which can be found in your
[AWS console](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/securityCredentials))
can be specified in one of two ways:

- As the second argument, like this:

```javascript
aws4.sign(requestOptions, {
  secretAccessKey: "<your-secret-access-key>",
  accessKeyId: "<your-access-key-id>",
  sessionToken: "<your-session-token>"
})
```

- From `process.env`, such as this:

```
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<your-secret-access-key>"
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<your-access-key-id>"
export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="<your-session-token>"
```

(will also use `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` and `AWS_SECRET_KEY` if available)

The `sessionToken` property and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` environment variable are optional for signing
with [IAM STS temporary credentials](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/UsingSTS/using-temp-creds.html).

Installation
------------

With [npm](http://npmjs.org/) do:

```
npm install aws4
```

Can also be used [in the browser](./browser).

Thanks
------

Thanks to [@jed](https://github.com/jed) for his
[dynamo-client](https://github.com/jed/dynamo-client) lib where I first
committed and subsequently extracted this code.

Also thanks to the
[official node.js AWS SDK](https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js) for giving
me a start on implementing the v4 signature.
