Amazon SNS Extended Client Library for Python

Prerequisites

The following are the prerequisites for using the Amazon SNS Extended Client Library for Python:

Configuring message storage

The below attributes are available on Boto3 Amazon SNS Client, Topic, and PlatformEndpoint objects to configure the Amazon S3 message storage options.

Example: Publishing messages to Amazon SNS with the payload stored in Amazon S3

The following code example shows how to:

To publish a large message, use the Amazon SNS Extended Client Library for Python. The message you send references an Amazon S3 object containing the actual message content.
