Boto3 Assume role example: This will work copy paste, just put in your role ARN that you plan to use.
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import boto3
# create an STS client object that represents a live connection to the
# STS service
sts_client = boto3.client('sts')
# Call the assume_role method of the STSConnection object and pass the role
# ARN and a role session name.
assumed_role_object=sts_client.assume_role(
RoleArn="arn:aws:iam::account-of-role-to-assume:role/name-of-role",
RoleSessionName="AssumeRoleSession1"
)
# From the response that contains the assumed role, get the temporary
# credentials that can be used to make subsequent API calls
credentials=assumed_role_object['Credentials']
# Use the temporary credentials that AssumeRole returns to make a
# connection to Amazon S3
s3_resource=boto3.resource(
's3',
aws_access_key_id=credentials['AccessKeyId'],
aws_secret_access_key=credentials['SecretAccessKey'],
aws_session_token=credentials['SessionToken'],
)
# Use the Amazon S3 resource object that is now configured with the
# credentials to access your S3 buckets.
