Amazon Simple Notification Service Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) is a web service that enables you to build distributed web-enabled applications. Applications can use Amazon SNS to easily push real-time notification messages to interested subscribers over multiple delivery protocols. For more information about this product see `http://aws.amazon.com/sns`_. For detailed information about Amazon SNS features and their associated API calls, see the `Amazon SNS Developer Guide`_.

We also provide SDKs that enable you to access Amazon SNS from your preferred programming language. The SDKs contain functionality that automatically takes care of tasks such as: cryptographically signing your service requests, retrying requests, and handling error responses. For a list of available SDKs, go to `Tools for Amazon Web Services`_.

create_platform_application(name=None, platform=None, attributes=None)

The CreatePlatformApplication action creates a platform application object for one of the supported push notification services, such as APNS and GCM, to which devices and mobile apps may register. You must specify PlatformPrincipal and PlatformCredential attributes when using the CreatePlatformApplication action. The PlatformPrincipal is received from the notification service. For APNS/APNS_SANDBOX, PlatformPrincipal is “SSL certificate”. For GCM, PlatformPrincipal is not applicable. For ADM, PlatformPrincipal is “client id”. The PlatformCredential is also received from the notification service. For APNS/APNS_SANDBOX, PlatformCredential is “private key”. For GCM, PlatformCredential is “API key”. For ADM, PlatformCredential is “client secret”. The PlatformApplicationArn that is returned when using CreatePlatformApplication is then used as an attribute for the CreatePlatformEndpoint action. For more information, see `Using Amazon SNS Mobile Push Notifications`_.

Parameters:

• name (string) – Application names must be made up of only uppercase and lowercase ASCII letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens, and periods, and must be between 1 and 256 characters long.
• platform (string) – The following platforms are supported: ADM (Amazon Device Messaging), APNS (Apple Push Notification Service), APNS_SANDBOX, and GCM (Google Cloud Messaging).
• attributes (map) – For a list of attributes, see `SetPlatformApplicationAttributes`_

create_platform_endpoint(platform_application_arn=None, token=None, custom_user_data=None, attributes=None)

The CreatePlatformEndpoint creates an endpoint for a device and mobile app on one of the supported push notification services, such as GCM and APNS. CreatePlatformEndpoint requires the PlatformApplicationArn that is returned from CreatePlatformApplication. The EndpointArn that is returned when using CreatePlatformEndpoint can then be used by the Publish action to send a message to a mobile app or by the Subscribe action for subscription to a topic. For more information, see `Using Amazon SNS Mobile Push Notifications`_.

Parameters:

• platform_application_arn (string) – PlatformApplicationArn returned from CreatePlatformApplication is used to create a an endpoint.
• token (string) – Unique identifier created by the notification service for an app on a device. The specific name for Token will vary, depending on which notification service is being used. For example, when using APNS as the notification service, you need the device token. Alternatively, when using GCM or ADM, the device token equivalent is called the registration ID.
• custom_user_data (string) – Arbitrary user data to associate with the endpoint. SNS does not use this data. The data must be in UTF-8 format and less than 2KB.
• attributes (map) – For a list of attributes, see `SetEndpointAttributes`_.

subscribe_sqs_queue(topic, queue)

Subscribe an SQS queue to a topic.

This is convenience method that handles most of the complexity involved in using an SQS queue as an endpoint for an SNS topic. To achieve this the following operations are performed:

• The correct ARN is constructed for the SQS queue and that ARN is then subscribed to the topic.
• A JSON policy document is contructed that grants permission to the SNS topic to send messages to the SQS queue.
• This JSON policy is then associated with the SQS queue using the queue’s set_attribute method. If the queue already has a policy associated with it, this process will add a Statement to that policy. If no policy exists, a new policy will be created.

Parameters:

• topic (string) – The ARN of the new topic.
• queue (A boto Queue object) – The queue you wish to subscribe to the SNS Topic.

unsubscribe(subscription)

Allows endpoint owner to delete subscription. Confirmation message will be delivered.

Parameters:subscription (string) – The ARN of the subscription to be deleted.
