Use SetTopicAttributes with an AWS SDK or CLI

To set an attribute for a topic

The following set-topic-attributes example sets the DisplayName attribute for the specified topic.

aws sns set-topic-attributes \
    --topic-arn arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:123456789012:MyTopic \
    --attribute-name DisplayName \
    --attribute-value MyTopicDisplayName

This command produces no output.

Create the client in a separate module and export it.

import { SNSClient } from "@aws-sdk/client-sns";

// The AWS Region can be provided here using the `region` property. If you leave it blank
// the SDK will default to the region set in your AWS config.
export const snsClient = new SNSClient({});

Import the SDK and client modules and call the API.

import { SetTopicAttributesCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-sns";
import { snsClient } from "../libs/snsClient.js";

export const setTopicAttributes = async (
  topicArn = "TOPIC_ARN",
