How do I read a csv stored in S3 with csv DictReader

0 votes

So, I have code that fetches an AWS S3 object. How do I read this StreamingBody with Python's csv.DictReader?

import boto3, csv

session = boto3.session.Session(aws_access_key_id=<>, aws_secret_access_key=<>, region_name=<>)
s3_resource = session.resource('s3')
s3_object = s3_resource.Object(<bucket>, <key>)
streaming_body = s3_object.get()['Body']

#csv.DictReader(.............)?
So, how do i do that?

Hey, I have attached code line by line. The code would be something like this:

import boto3
import csv

# get a handle on s3
s3 = boto3.resource(u's3')

# get a handle on the bucket that holds your file
bucket = s3.Bucket(u'bucket-name')

# get a handle on the object you want (i.e. your file)
obj = bucket.Object(key=u'test.csv')

# get the object
response = obj.get()

# read the contents of the file and split it into a list of lines

lines = response[u'Body'].read().split()

# now iterate over those lines
for row in csv.DictReader(lines):

    # here you get a sequence of dicts
    # do whatever you want with each line here
    print(row)

You can compact this a bit in actual code, but I tried to keep it step-by-step to show the object hierarchy with boto3.
