The AWS Helper provides utility functions to simplify authentication and temporary credential generation. One key feature is the ability to generate AWS STS temporary credentials, which are short-lived credentials used for secure authentication in AWS services without exposing long-term access keys. STS (Security Token Service) is particularly useful when granting temporary access to applications, scripts, or external systems.

​
Example

To use the AWS Helper, call the generate_aws_sts_token method with your AWS credentials and region details. 
import os
from helpers.aws_helper import generate_aws_sts_token

# Generate temporary STS token
sts_credentials = generate_aws_sts_token(
    region_name="us-east-1",
    aws_access_key_id=os.getenv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"),
    aws_secret_access_key=os.getenv("AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"),
    duration_seconds=3600  # 1 hour
)

print(sts_credentials)
