Generate an Amazon Bedrock API key

To create a long-term Amazon Bedrock API key, you use AWS Identity and Access Management API operations. First, make sure that you've fulfilled the prerequisite:

Prerequisite

Ensure that your setup allows the AWS CLI to automatically recognize your AWS credentials. To learn more, see Configuring settings for the AWS CLI.

Open a terminal and run the following commands:

Run the following script to create an IAM user, attach permissions to perform Amazon Bedrock actions, and generate a long-term Amazon Bedrock API key to associate with the user:

import boto3
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Replace with name for your IAM user
username = "bedrock-api-user"
# Add any AWS-managed or custom policies that you want to the user
bedrock_policies = [
    "arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonBedrockLimitedAccess",        # Limited access
#    "arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonBedrockMarketplaceAccess",   # Optional: Access to Amazon Bedrock Marketplace actions
]
# Set the key expiration time to a number of your choice
expiration_time_in_days = 30

iam_client = boto3.client("iam")
    
# Create IAM user
user = iam_client.create_iam_user(username)

# Attach policies to user
for policy_arn in bedrock_policies:
    iam_client.attach_managed_policy(username, policy_arn)

# Create long-term Amazon Bedrock API key and return it
service_credentials = iam_client.create_service_specific_credential(
    user_name=username, 
    service_name="bedrock",
    credential_age_days=expiration_time_in_days
) 
api_key = service_credentials["ServiceApiKeyValue"]
print(api_key)

from aws_bedrock_token_generator import BedrockTokenGenerator
import boto3

# Replace with a region of your choice
region = "us-east-1"

# Fetch credentials
session = boto3.Session()
credentials = session.get_credentials()

# Initialize token generator
generator = BedrockTokenGenerator()

# Generate one-time token
token = generator.get_token(credentials, region)

import { BedrockTokenGenerator } from '@aws/bedrock-token-generator';
import { fromNodeProviderChain } from '@aws-sdk/credential-providers';

async function example() {
    // Set region
    const region = 'us-east-1'
    
    // Create token generator
    const generator = new BedrockTokenGenerator();
    
    // Get credentials from default provider chain
    const credentials = fromNodeProviderChain();
    
    // Generate token
    const token = await generator.generateToken(credentials, region);
    
    // Use the token for API calls (valid for 12 hours)
    console.log(`Bearer Token: ${token}`);
}
