There are more AWS SDK examples available in the [AWS Doc SDK Examples](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples) GitHub repo.

# Amazon SES examples using SDK for Python (Boto3)
<a name="python_3_ses_code_examples"></a>

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) with Amazon SES.

*Actions* are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

*Scenarios* are code examples that show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within a service or combined with other AWS services.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

### Create a web application to track DynamoDB data
<a name="cross_DynamoDBDataTracker_python_3_topic"></a>

The following code example shows how to create a web application that tracks work items in an Amazon DynamoDB table and uses Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) to send reports.

**SDK for Python (Boto3)**  
 Shows how to use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to create a REST service that tracks work items in Amazon DynamoDB and emails reports by using Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES). This example uses the Flask web framework to handle HTTP routing and integrates with a React webpage to present a fully functional web application.   
+ Build a Flask REST service that integrates with AWS services.
+ Read, write, and update work items that are stored in a DynamoDB table.
+ Use Amazon SES to send email reports of work items.
 For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example in the [AWS Code Examples Repository](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/python/cross_service/dynamodb_item_tracker) on GitHub.   

**Services used in this example**
+ DynamoDB
+ Amazon SES

### Create an Aurora Serverless work item tracker
<a name="cross_RDSDataTracker_python_3_topic"></a>

The following code example shows how to create a web application that tracks work items in an Amazon Aurora Serverless database and uses Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) to send reports.

**SDK for Python (Boto3)**  
 Shows how to use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to create a REST service that tracks work items in an Amazon Aurora Serverless database and emails reports by using Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES). This example uses the Flask web framework to handle HTTP routing and integrates with a React webpage to present a fully functional web application.   
+ Build a Flask REST service that integrates with AWS services.
+ Read, write, and update work items that are stored in an Aurora Serverless database.
+ Create an AWS Secrets Manager secret that contains database credentials and use it to authenticate calls to the database.
+ Use Amazon SES to send email reports of work items.
 For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on [GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/python/cross_service/aurora_item_tracker).

### Detect objects in images
<a name="cross_RekognitionPhotoAnalyzer_python_3_topic"></a>

The following code example shows how to build an app that uses Amazon Rekognition to detect objects by category in images.

**SDK for Python (Boto3)**  
 Shows you how to use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to create a web application that lets you do the following:   
+ Upload photos to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket.
+ Use Amazon Rekognition to analyze and label the photos.
+ Use Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) to send email reports of image analysis.
 This example contains two main components: a webpage written in JavaScript that is built with React, and a REST service written in Python that is built with Flask-RESTful.   
You can use the React webpage to:  
+ Display a list of images that are stored in your S3 bucket.
+ Upload images from your computer to your S3 bucket.
+ Display images and labels that identify items that are detected in the image.
+ Get a report of all images in your S3 bucket and send an email of the report.
The webpage calls the REST service. The service sends requests to AWS to perform the following actions:   
+ Get and filter the list of images in your S3 bucket.
+ Upload photos to your S3 bucket.
+ Use Amazon Rekognition to analyze individual photos and get a list of labels that identify items that are detected in the photo.
+ Analyze all photos in your S3 bucket and use Amazon SES to email a report.
 For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on [GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/python/cross_service/photo_analyzer).

### Detect people and objects in a video
<a name="cross_RekognitionVideoDetection_python_3_topic"></a>

The following code example shows how to detect people and objects in a video with Amazon Rekognition.

**SDK for Python (Boto3)**  
 Use Amazon Rekognition to detect faces, objects, and people in videos by starting asynchronous detection jobs. This example also configures Amazon Rekognition to notify an Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) topic when jobs complete and subscribes an Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue to the topic. When the queue receives a message about a job, the job is retrieved and the results are output.   
 This example is best viewed on GitHub. For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on [GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/python/example_code/rekognition).   

**Services used in this example**
+ Amazon Rekognition
+ Amazon S3
+ Amazon SES
+ Amazon SNS
+ Amazon SQS

### Verify an email identity and send messages
<a name="ses_Scenario_SendEmail_python_3_topic"></a>

The following code example shows how to:
+ Add and verify an email address with Amazon SES.
+ Send a standard email message.
+ Create a template and send a templated email message.
+ Send a message by using an Amazon SES SMTP server.

**SDK for Python (Boto3)**  
 There's more on GitHub. Find the complete example and learn how to set up and run in the [AWS Code Examples Repository](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/python/example_code/ses#code-examples).
