# Retrieving AWS client with SDK for Python (Boto3)
<a name="connection-clients"></a>

You can retrieve an SDK for Python (Boto3) AWS client initialized with the connection's credentials.

**Example**  
The following example shows how to create a Redshift client using create\_client() from Redshift connection.  

```
redshift_connection: Connection = proj.connection("{{project.redshift}}")
redshift_client = redshift_connection.create_client()
```

Some connections are directly associated with an AWS service, and will default to using that AWS service's client if no service name is specified. Those connections are listed in the following table.


| Connection Type | AWS Service Name | 
| --- | --- | 
| ATHENA | athena | 
| DYNAMODB | dynamodb | 
| REDSHIFT | redshift | 
| S3 | s3 | 
| S3\_FOLDER | s3 | 

For other connection types, you must specify an AWS service name.

**Example**  
See the following example for details.  

```
iam_connection: Connection = proj.connection("project.iam")
glue_client = iam_connection.create_client("glue")
```
