This script modifies config files of aws-cli and suppose that you have it already installed, for more information see Installing the AWS CLI version 1.
aws-grabber use requests module for making https requests. You can install it with:
pip install requests
The other modules are part of the Python Standard Library and are built-in with python.
Usage
grabber.py need username and password to work:
python3 grabber.py -u user@mail.com -p passwd
It will update the config files in the default installation path for aws cli with new credentials.
Existing files will be renamed with a trailing .old.
For more information see Installing the AWS CLI version 1.
If you have installed aws-cli somewhere else use the flag --awspath or -a to the location of your .aws folder using absolute path notation:
python3 grabber.py -u user@mail.com -p passwd -a /your/custom/absolute/path
The default output for aws-cli is JSON. You can change it with the flag --output, -o:
python3 grabber.py -u user@mail.com -p passwd -o text
For more information of accepted formats see How to Select the Output Format.
At the moment AWS Students have a default profile name and can use only us-east-1 region.
If this behaviour changes you can modify these parameters with --region, -r flag for region, and --profile, -p for profile:
python3 grabber.py -u user@mail.com -p passwd -p MyProfile -r eu-central-1
For more information of accepted region see AWS Service Endpoints.
