AWS Signature

Generic extractor allows signaturing requests by AWS. Signature is the process to add authentication information to your requests. When you use AWS tools, extractor sign your API request.

A sample AWS signature configuration looks like this:

{
  ...,
  "aws": {
    "signature": {
      "credentials": {
        "accessKeyId": "testAccessKey",
        "#secretKey": "testSecretKey",
        "serviceName": "testService",
        "regionName": "testRegion"
      }
    }
  }
}

See example [EX143].
