Create a base connection for Amazon S3 on Experience Platform on Azure

A base connection retains information between your source and Platform, including your source鈥檚 authentication credentials, the current state of the connection, and your unique base connection ID. The base connection ID allows you to explore and navigate files from within your source and identify the specific items that you want to ingest, including information regarding their data types and formats.

To create a base connection ID, make a POST request to the /connections endpoint while providing your S3 authentication credentials as part of the request parameters.

API format

POST /connections

Connect Amazon S3 to Experience Platform on Amazon Web Services (AWS) aws

AVAILABILITY
This section applies to implementations of Experience Platform running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Experience Platform running on AWS is currently available to a limited number of customers. To learn more about the supported Experience Platform infrastructure, see the Experience Platform multi-cloud overview.

Read the steps below for information on how to connect your Amazon S3 source to Experience Platform on AWS.

Prerequisites

To connect your Amazon S3 account to Experience Platform on AWS, you must have the following:

  • An AWS account with access to the Amazon S3 bucket or folder that you want to connect.
  • The necessary IAM permissions that allow s3:GetObject and s3:ListBucket actions.

Retrieve the IAM role for your bucket permissions

API format

GET /connectionSpecs/{CONNECTION_SPEC_ID}/configs?authType={AUTH_TYPE}

Request

Response

A successful response returns your IAM Role. This value is required in the next step to set up permissions in your Amazon S3 bucket.

Select to view response example
code language-json 
{
    "configParams": {
          "IAMRole": "{IAM_ROLE}"
    }
}

Set up permissions in your Amazon S3 bucket

  1. Log in to your account in the .
  2. Navigate to your Amazon S3 bucket and then select Permissions.
  3. Edit the bucket policy and add the following permissions:
TIP
IAM_ROLE_TO_ALLOW_LIST is the IAM role fetched through the API in the previous step. You must replace {YOUR_BUCKET_NAME} with the actual name of your Amazon S3 bucket. If you want to give access to a specific folder, then you must also replace {YOUR_FOLDER_NAME} with the actual name of the folder that you want to give access to.

Next steps

By following this tutorial, you have created an S3 connection using APIs and a unique ID was obtained as part of the response body. You can use this connection ID to explore cloud storages using the Flow Service API.

Appendix

The following section provides additional information on using the S3 source.

Update your S3 session token

The s3SessionToken is temporary and must be updated when it expires. You can update the session token associated with your base connection by making a PATCH request to Flow Service API. See the S3 overview for more information on temporary security credentials for S3.

IMPORTANT
The If-Match header is required when making a PATCH request. The value for this header is the unique etag of the connection you want to update.
