A low-level client representing AWS SSO OIDC
AWS Single Sign-On (SSO) OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a web service that enables a client (such as AWS CLI or a native application) to register with AWS SSO. The service also enables the client to fetch the user’s access token upon successful authentication and authorization with AWS SSO. This service conforms with the OAuth 2.0 based implementation of the device authorization grant standard (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8628 ).
For general information about AWS SSO, see What is AWS Single Sign-On? in the AWS SSO User Guide .
This API reference guide describes the AWS SSO OIDC operations that you can call programatically and includes detailed information on data types and errors.
Note
AWS provides SDKs that consist of libraries and sample code for various programming languages and platforms such as Java, Ruby, .Net, iOS, and Android. The SDKs provide a convenient way to create programmatic access to AWS SSO and other AWS services. For more information about the AWS SDKs, including how to download and install them, see Tools for Amazon Web Services .
import boto3
client = boto3.client('sso-oidc')
These are the available methods:
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Creates and returns an access token for the authorized client. The access token issued will be used to fetch short-term credentials for the assigned roles in the AWS account.

Request Syntax
response = client.create_token(
clientId='string',
clientSecret='string',
grantType='string',
deviceCode='string',
code='string',
refreshToken='string',
scope=[
'string',
],
redirectUri='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
The unique identifier string for each client. This value should come from the persisted result of the RegisterClient API.
[REQUIRED]
A secret string generated for the client. This value should come from the persisted result of the RegisterClient API.
[REQUIRED]
Supports grant types for authorization code, refresh token, and device code request.
[REQUIRED]
Used only when calling this API for the device code grant type. This short-term code is used to identify this authentication attempt. This should come from an in-memory reference to the result of the StartDeviceAuthorization API.
The list of scopes that is defined by the client. Upon authorization, this list is used to restrict permissions when granting an access token.
dict
Response Syntax
{
'accessToken': 'string',
'tokenType': 'string',
'expiresIn': 123,
'refreshToken': 'string',
'idToken': 'string'
}
Response Structure
(dict) --
accessToken (string) --
An opaque token to access AWS SSO resources assigned to a user.
tokenType (string) --
Used to notify the client that the returned token is an access token. The supported type is BearerToken .
expiresIn (integer) --
Indicates the time in seconds when an access token will expire.
refreshToken (string) --
A token that, if present, can be used to refresh a previously issued access token that might have expired.
idToken (string) --
The identifier of the user that associated with the access token, if present.
Exceptions
Create a paginator for an operation.
Returns an object that can wait for some condition.
Registers a client with AWS SSO. This allows clients to initiate device authorization. The output should be persisted for reuse through many authentication requests.

Request Syntax
response = client.register_client(
clientName='string',
clientType='string',
scopes=[
'string',
]
)
[REQUIRED]
The friendly name of the client.
[REQUIRED]
The type of client. The service supports only public as a client type. Anything other than public will be rejected by the service.
The list of scopes that are defined by the client. Upon authorization, this list is used to restrict permissions when granting an access token.

Response Syntax
{
'clientId': 'string',
'clientSecret': 'string',
'clientIdIssuedAt': 123,
'clientSecretExpiresAt': 123,
'authorizationEndpoint': 'string',
'tokenEndpoint': 'string'
}
Response Structure
(dict) --
clientId (string) --
The unique identifier string for each client. This client uses this identifier to get authenticated by the service in subsequent calls.
clientSecret (string) --
A secret string generated for the client. The client will use this string to get authenticated by the service in subsequent calls.
clientIdIssuedAt (integer) --
Indicates the time at which the clientId and clientSecret were issued.
clientSecretExpiresAt (integer) --
Indicates the time at which the clientId and clientSecret will become invalid.
authorizationEndpoint (string) --
The endpoint where the client can request authorization.
tokenEndpoint (string) --
The endpoint where the client can get an access token.
Exceptions
Initiates device authorization by requesting a pair of verification codes from the authorization service.

Request Syntax
response = client.start_device_authorization(
clientId='string',
clientSecret='string',
startUrl='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
The unique identifier string for the client that is registered with AWS SSO. This value should come from the persisted result of the RegisterClient API operation.
[REQUIRED]
A secret string that is generated for the client. This value should come from the persisted result of the RegisterClient API operation.
[REQUIRED]
The URL for the AWS SSO user portal. For more information, see Using the User Portal in the AWS Single Sign-On User Guide .

}
Response Structure
(dict) --
deviceCode (string) --
The short-lived code that is used by the device when polling for a session token.
userCode (string) --
A one-time user verification code. This is needed to authorize an in-use device.
verificationUri (string) --
The URI of the verification page that takes the userCode to authorize the device.
verificationUriComplete (string) --
An alternate URL that the client can use to automatically launch a browser. This process skips the manual step in which the user visits the verification page and enters their code.
expiresIn (integer) --
Indicates the number of seconds in which the verification code will become invalid.
interval (integer) --
Indicates the number of seconds the client must wait between attempts when polling for a session.
