# REAMDE.md for Amazon::API Examples This directory contains examples demonstrating how you can create a Perl module for various flavors of the Amazon APIs. In order to exercise these examples: * you must have an Amazon account and credentials with sufficient privileges to invoke the various APIs. You can also exercise these examples using API compatible services like [LocalStack](https://localstack.cloud/). * Your credentials should be accessible in one of: * the environment * the role assumed by the EC2 or container your are running in * your credentials files configured with the AWS CLI commmand `aws configure` * AWS APIs are (generally speaking) not free, especially if they create resources. Most of these examples do not create resources, however you should be aware of what each of these examples does before invoking theme For a short description of each of these examples try: ``` perl service-name.pl --help ``` # Example Scripts The example scripts will execute a subset of the API methods for various services. The intent is to show how you can create your own classes or just use the `Amazon::API` class directly to call a service. All of the examples are exercised in the same way: ``` perl service-name.pl run API arguments ``` # Using LocalStack to Run Examples If you're interested in exercising some of these examples in a local environment checkout [LocalStack](https://localstack.cloud/). You can use the `docker-compose.yml` file below to bring up the service. ``` version: "3.8" services: localstack: container_name: "${LOCALSTACK_DOCKER_NAME-localstack_main}" image: localstack/localstack network_mode: bridge ports: - "127.0.0.1:4510-4530:4510-4530" - "127.0.0.1:4566:4566" - "127.0.0.1:4571:4571" environment: - SERVICES=s3,ssm,secretsmanager,kms,sqs,ec2,events - DEBUG=${DEBUG-} - DATA_DIR=${DATA_DIR-} - LAMBDA_EXECUTOR=${LAMBDA_EXECUTOR-} - HOST_TMP_FOLDER=${TMPDIR:-/tmp/}localstack - DOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/docker.sock volumes: - "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/localstack:/tmp/localstack" - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock" ``` To use LocalStack when exercising an example, use the `--endpoint-url` option. ``` perl sqs.pm --endpoint-usr=http://localhost:4566 run ListQueues ```
