🧩 AWS Signature

Generic Extractor allows signing requests with AWS Signature Version 4 (opens in a new tab). Signing is the process of adding authentication information to your requests. When you use AWS tools, the extractor signs your API request.

A sample AWS signature configuration looks like this:

{
  ...,
  "aws": {
    "signature": {
      "credentials": {
        "accessKeyId": "testAccessKey",
        "#secretKey": "testSecretKey",
        "serviceName": "testService",
        "regionName": "testRegion"
      }
    }
  }
}

See example [EX143] (opens in a new tab).
