athena2pd - Amazon Athena to Pandas Dataframe

About

Useful tool to help simplify the access of databases stored in Amazon Athena by using SQL and pandas DataFrames.

The end user simply needs to provide the query and the bucket where the results are stored, then this package will run the query and return a DataFrame with the data in it, ready to be used for whatever is desired.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install athena2pd.

pip install athena2pd

Usage

Before use, you will need an AWS key pair, and an IAM profile set up to access both Amazon Athena and S3.

Using local .aws/ files is the safest way to connect, rather than providing the keys in the code. See the example files below:

The .aws/credentials file is set up like this:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = {access_key_id}
aws_secret_access_key = {secret_access_key}

...

In addition, the .aws/config is set up similar to this:

[default]
output = json
region = us-east-1

[profile athena-role]
role_arn = arn:aws:iam::{iam-id-number}:role/{role-name}
source_profile = default
region = us-east-1

...

Once that is set up, in your python code, the athena2pd package can be used like so:

from athena2pd import AthenaDFConnector

# Initialize the AthenaDFConnector object
ath = AthenaDFConnector(aws_profile_name='athena-role')

# Example SQL query
sql_query = '''
SELECT COUNT(*) AS Count
FROM testcatalog.testdatabase.testtable
'''

# Example output location
output_loc = 's3://bucket-name/sub/folder'

# Query Athena and load into a pandas DataFrame
df = ath.query(query_string=sql_query, s3_output_location=output_loc)
