AWS client-s3 getSignedUrl equivalent

November 5, 2021

My client are currently getting access to some objects with getSignedUrlPromise from the package aws-sdk. The request are done from the backend and the signed url is returned to the client, everything is fine.

I’m now trying to migrate from aws-sdk to @aws-sdk/client-s3. I’d like to keep to same structure, but i can’t find such command in the documentation.

I’m pretty sure @aws-sdk/client-s3 is capable of returning a signed url

Are there any (non – hacky) ways to do it ?

EDIT: Relying on this, i should use @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner on top of @aws-sdk/client-s3 to get presigned urls.

>Solution :

You can use @aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner. For example:

const { getSignedUrl } = require("@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner");
const { S3Client, GetObjectCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-s3");
// ...
const client = new S3Client(clientParams);
const command = new GetObjectCommand(getObjectParams);
const url = await getSignedUrl(client, command, { expiresIn: 3600 });
