Can I connect to AWS API?

[tjpierre]

Hi,

Is there a way or connector I can use that would connect to an AWS API?

Thanks

@tjpierre this should be doable. Here are all of my questions and thoughts:

Do you have one that we can play around with?

Have you ever used the download tool before? Sometimes you have to use multiple, like in a handshake where you send credentials and they give you a key then you send the key back with the actual request.

We can also build in python and then throw it in Alteryx.

Hi, 

I don't have an example to work from.  It's an idea we are trying to figure out if it's possible.  Seeing your potential solution has given me something to look at.  I think I might have a challenge with the authentication piece but that will be something I can work/test on. 

Thank you!

Yeah I am not sure what the authentication looks like for this API or if that is something that is organization specific. If it's simple OAuth it should be easy but if you are getting into mTLS or something that requires a certificate, you are definitely going to have to implement Python.
