Client

class IoTDataPlane.Client

A low-level client representing AWS IoT Data Plane

IoT data enables secure, bi-directional communication between Internet-connected things (such as sensors, actuators, embedded devices, or smart appliances) and the Amazon Web Services 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 Amazon Web Services cloud.

Find the endpoint address for actions in IoT data by running this CLI command:

aws iot describe-endpoint --endpoint-type iot:Data-ATS

The service name used by Amazon Web ServicesSignature Version 4 to sign requests is: iotdevicegateway .

import boto3

client = boto3.client('iot-data')

These are the available methods:

can_paginate(operation_name)

Check if an operation can be paginated.

Parameters
operation_name (string) -- The operation name. This is the same name as the method name on the client. For example, if the method name is create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the call client.get_paginator("create_foo").
Returns
True if the operation can be paginated, False otherwise.
close()

Closes underlying endpoint connections.

delete_thing_shadow(**kwargs)

Deletes the shadow for the specified thing.

Requires permission to access the DeleteThingShadow action.

For more information, see DeleteThingShadow in the IoT Developer Guide.
