botoc

C++ wrapper for the boto (Amazon Web Services) Python library contained within simple headers; nothing to link.

Requirements

• Python libraries (python-dev)
• Boto 2.6+ (easy-install boto)
• AWS account with SQS or DDB set up, and an IAM user with appropriate permissions

Functionality

Provides very limited (but very easy to use) functionality for AWS services:

Common

• botoc::set_iam_user Change the IAM credentials (key and secret)
• botoc::set_region Change the working region (e.g. "eu-west-1")

SQS (botoc_sqs.h)

• botoc::sqs::prep Prepare a connection with the current region and credentials (called automatically when needed). Connections will persist until disconnect is called.
• botoc::sqs::put Adds a new item to the queue.
• botoc::sqs::get Gets an item from the queue.
  • supports long-polling (see BOTO_SUPPORTS_WAIT_TIME_SECONDS comment).
• botoc::sqs::remove Removes an item from the queue using a handle from sqs_get.
• botoc::sqs::disconnect Breaks the current connection; only needed for reconnecting as a different user or region.

DDB (botoc_ddb.h)

• botoc::ddb::prep Prepare a connection with the current region and credentials (called automatically when needed). Connections will persist until disconnect is called.
• botoc::ddb::update Adds or Updates an item in the database
  • supported types: string (S), number (N), binary (B) and sets of each
  • supports "expected"
  • supports "PUT", "ADD", "DELETE"
  • does not support range keys
• botoc::ddb::get Retrieves an item from the database
  • supports full & partial get
  • does not support metadata
  • does not support range keys

Examples

See main.cpp for example usage.
