Creating a Boto client

Create a Boto3 S3 client with your lakeFS endpoint and key-pair:

import boto3
s3 = boto3.client('s3',
    endpoint_url='https://lakefs.example.com',
    aws_access_key_id='AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE',
    aws_secret_access_key='wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY')

Usage Examples

Put Object

Use a branch name and a path to put an object in lakeFS:

with open('/local/path/to/file_0', 'rb') as f:
    s3.put_object(Body=f, Bucket='example-repo', Key='main/example-file.parquet')

List Objects

List branch objects starting with a prefix:

list_resp = s3.list_objects_v2(Bucket='example-repo', Prefix='main/example-prefix')
for obj in list_resp['Contents']:
    print(obj['Key'])

Or, use a lakeFS commit ID to list objects for a specific commit:

list_resp = s3.list_objects_v2(Bucket='example-repo', Prefix='c7a632d74f/example-prefix')
for obj in list_resp['Contents']:
    print(obj['Key'])

Head Object

Get object metadata using branch and path:

s3.head_object(Bucket='example-repo', Key='main/example-file.parquet')
