Each service object in the SDK currently provides low-level access to every API call in the respective
AWS service. The full list of methods and their parameters are documented in the complete API reference
(linked from each service name in the above list).
Constructing a Service
Each service can be constructed with runtime configuration data that is specific to that service object.
The service-specific configuration data will be merged on top of global configuration, so there is no need
to re-specify any global settings. For example, an EC2 object can be created for a specific region:
var ec2 = new EC2({region: 'us-west-2'});
This object will continue to use the globally provided credentials.
Passing Arguments to a Service Method
When calling a method to a service, you should pass parameters in as option values, similar to the way
configuration is passed. For example, to read an object for a given bucket and key in S3, you can pass
the following parameters to the
getObject
method:
s3.getObject({Bucket: 'bucketName', Key: 'keyName'});
Note that the full parameter documentation for each method is found in each service page in the complete
API reference documentation.
