A low-level client representing AWS IoT Data Plane
AWS IoT-Data enables secure, bi-directional communication between Internet-connected things (such as sensors, actuators, embedded devices, or smart appliances) and the AWS cloud. It implements a broker for applications and things to publish messages over HTTP (Publish) and retrieve, update, and delete shadows. A shadow is a persistent representation of your things and their state in the AWS cloud.
Find the endpoint address for actions in the AWS IoT data plane by running this CLI command:
aws iot describe-endpoint --endpoint-type iot:Data-ATS
The service name used by AWS Signature Version 4 to sign requests is: iotdevicegateway .
import boto3
client = boto3.client('iot-data')
These are the available methods:
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Deletes the shadow for the specified thing.
For more information, see DeleteThingShadow in the AWS IoT Developer Guide.
