CognitoIdentity

Table of Contents

Client

class CognitoIdentity.Client

A low-level client representing Amazon Cognito Identity:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('cognito-identity')

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.
create_identity_pool(**kwargs)

Creates a new identity pool. The identity pool is a store of user identity information that is specific to your AWS account. The limit on identity pools is 60 per account. The keys for SupportedLoginProviders are as follows:

  • Facebook: graph.facebook.com
  • Google: accounts.google.com
  • Amazon: www.amazon.com
  • Twitter: api.twitter.com
  • Digits: www.digits.com

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Parameters
  • IdentityPoolName (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    A string that you provide.

  • AllowUnauthenticatedIdentities (boolean) --

    [REQUIRED]

    TRUE if the identity pool supports unauthenticated logins.

  • SupportedLoginProviders (dict) --

    Optional key:value pairs mapping provider names to provider app IDs.

    • (string) --
      • (string) --
  • DeveloperProviderName (string) --

    The "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users. This name acts as a placeholder that allows your backend and the Cognito service to communicate about the developer provider. For the DeveloperProviderName , you can use letters as well as period (. ), underscore (_ ), and dash (- ).

    Once you have set a developer provider name, you cannot change it. Please take care in setting this parameter.

  • OpenIdConnectProviderARNs (list) --

    A list of OpendID Connect provider ARNs.

    • (string) --
  • CognitoIdentityProviders (list) --

    An array of Amazon Cognito user pools and their client IDs.

    • (dict) --

      A provider representing an Amazon Cognito user pool and its client ID.

      • ProviderName (string) --

        The provider name for an Amazon Cognito user pool. For example, cognito-idp.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/us-east-1_123456789 .

        The client ID for the Amazon Cognito user pool.

      • ServerSideTokenCheck (boolean) --

        TRUE if server-side token validation is enabled for the identity provider’s token.

        Once you set ServerSideTokenCheck to TRUE for an identity pool, that identity pool will check with the integrated user pools to make sure that the user has not been globally signed out or deleted before the identity pool provides an OIDC token or AWS credentials for the user.

        If the user is signed out or deleted, the identity pool will return a 400 Not Authorized error.

  • SamlProviderARNs (list) --

    An array of Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the SAML provider for your identity pool.

    • (string) --
  • IdentityPoolTags (dict) --

    Tags to assign to the identity pool. A tag is a label that you can apply to identity pools to categorize and manage them in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria.

get_open_id_token_for_developer_identity(**kwargs)

Registers (or retrieves) a Cognito IdentityId and an OpenID Connect token for a user authenticated by your backend authentication process. Supplying multiple logins will create an implicit linked account. You can only specify one developer provider as part of the Logins map, which is linked to the identity pool. The developer provider is the "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users.

You can use GetOpenIdTokenForDeveloperIdentity to create a new identity and to link new logins (that is, user credentials issued by a public provider or developer provider) to an existing identity. When you want to create a new identity, the IdentityId should be null. When you want to associate a new login with an existing authenticated/unauthenticated identity, you can do so by providing the existing IdentityId . This API will create the identity in the specified IdentityPoolId .

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

If the user is from a developer provider, the name-value pair will follow the syntax "developer_provider_name": "developer_user_identifier" . The developer provider is the "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users; you provided this domain while creating/updating the identity pool. The developer user identifier is an identifier from your backend that uniquely identifies a user. When you create an identity pool, you can specify the supported logins.

    • (string) --
      • (string) --
  • TokenDuration (integer) -- The expiration time of the token, in seconds. You can specify a custom expiration time for the token so that you can cache it. If you don't provide an expiration time, the token is valid for 15 minutes. You can exchange the token with Amazon STS for temporary AWS credentials, which are valid for a maximum of one hour. The maximum token duration you can set is 24 hours. You should take care in setting the expiration time for a token, as there are significant security implications: an attacker could use a leaked token to access your AWS resources for the token's duration.

lookup_developer_identity(**kwargs)

Retrieves the IdentityID associated with a DeveloperUserIdentifier or the list of DeveloperUserIdentifier values associated with an IdentityId for an existing identity. Either IdentityID or DeveloperUserIdentifier must not be null. If you supply only one of these values, the other value will be searched in the database and returned as a part of the response. If you supply both, DeveloperUserIdentifier will be matched against IdentityID . If the values are verified against the database, the response returns both values and is the same as the request. Otherwise a ResourceConflictException is thrown.

LookupDeveloperIdentity is intended for low-throughput control plane operations: for example, to enable customer service to locate an identity ID by username. If you are using it for higher-volume operations such as user authentication, your requests are likely to be throttled. GetOpenIdTokenForDeveloperIdentity is a better option for higher-volume operations for user authentication.

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

Request Syntax

response = client.lookup_developer_identity(
    IdentityPoolId='string',
    IdentityId='string',

)
Parameters
  • IdentityPoolId (string) --

    [REQUIRED]

    An identity pool ID in the format REGION:GUID.

  • IdentityId (string) -- A unique identifier in the format REGION:GUID.
  • DeveloperUserIdentifier (string) -- A unique ID used by your backend authentication process to identify a user. Typically, a developer identity provider would issue many developer user identifiers, in keeping with the number of users.
  • MaxResults (integer) -- The maximum number of identities to return.
  • NextToken (string) -- A pagination token. The first call you make will have NextToken set to null. After that the service will return NextToken values as needed. For example, let's say you make a request with MaxResults set to 10, and there are 20 matches in the database. The service will return a pagination token as a part of the response. This token can be used to call the API again and get results starting from the 11th match.

merge_developer_identities(**kwargs)

Merges two users having different IdentityId s, existing in the same identity pool, and identified by the same developer provider. You can use this action to request that discrete users be merged and identified as a single user in the Cognito environment. Cognito associates the given source user (SourceUserIdentifier ) with the IdentityId of the DestinationUserIdentifier . Only developer-authenticated users can be merged. If the users to be merged are associated with the same public provider, but as two different users, an exception will be thrown.

The number of linked logins is limited to 20. So, the number of linked logins for the source user, SourceUserIdentifier , and the destination user, DestinationUserIdentifier , together should not be larger than 20. Otherwise, an exception will be thrown.

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.

tag_resource(**kwargs)

Assigns a set of tags to an Amazon Cognito identity pool. A tag is a label that you can use to categorize and manage identity pools in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria.

Each tag consists of a key and value, both of which you define. A key is a general category for more specific values. For example, if you have two versions of an identity pool, one for testing and another for production, you might assign an Environment tag key to both identity pools. The value of this key might be Test for one identity pool and Production for the other.

Tags are useful for cost tracking and access control. You can activate your tags so that they appear on the Billing and Cost Management console, where you can track the costs associated with your identity pools. In an IAM policy, you can constrain permissions for identity pools based on specific tags or tag values.

You can use this action up to 5 times per second, per account. An identity pool can have as many as 50 tags.
