A low-level client representing Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS):
client = session.create_client('sqs')
These are the available methods:
Adds a permission to a queue for a specific principal . This allows sharing access to the queue.
When you create a queue, you have full control access rights for the queue. Only you, the owner of the queue, can grant or deny permissions to the queue. For more information about these permissions, see Shared Queues in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
Note
AddPermission writes an Amazon-SQS-generated policy. If you want to write your own policy, use `` SetQueueAttributes `` to upload your policy. For more information about writing your own policy, see Using The Access Policy Language in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:
&Attribute.1=this
&Attribute.2=that
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = client.add_permission(
QueueUrl='string',
Label='string',
AWSAccountIds=[
'string',
],
Actions=[
'string',
]
)
[REQUIRED]
The URL of the Amazon SQS queue to which permissions are added.
Queue URLs are case-sensitive.
[REQUIRED]
The unique identification of the permission you're setting (for example, AliceSendMessage ). Maximum 80 characters. Allowed characters include alphanumeric characters, hyphens (- ), and underscores (_ ).
[REQUIRED]
The AWS account number of the principal who is given permission. The principal must have an AWS account, but does not need to be signed up for Amazon SQS. For information about locating the AWS account identification, see Your AWS Identifiers in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
[REQUIRED]
The action the client wants to allow for the specified principal. The following values are valid:
For more information about these actions, see Understanding Permissions in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
Specifying SendMessage , DeleteMessage , or ChangeMessageVisibility for ActionName.n also grants permissions for the corresponding batch versions of those actions: SendMessageBatch , DeleteMessageBatch , and ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch .
None
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Changes the visibility timeout of a specified message in a queue to a new value. The maximum allowed timeout value is 12 hours. Thus, you can't extend the timeout of a message in an existing queue to more than a total visibility timeout of 12 hours. For more information, see Visibility Timeout in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
For example, you have a message with a visibility timeout of 5 minutes. After 3 minutes, you call ChangeMessageVisiblity with a timeout of 10 minutes. At that time, the timeout for the message is extended by 10 minutes beyond the time of the ChangeMessageVisibility action. This results in a total visibility timeout of 13 minutes. You can continue to call the ChangeMessageVisibility to extend the visibility timeout to a maximum of 12 hours. If you try to extend the visibility timeout beyond 12 hours, your request is rejected.
A message is considered to be in flight after it's received from a queue by a consumer, but not yet deleted from the queue.
For standard queues, there can be a maximum of 120,000 inflight messages per queue. If you reach this limit, Amazon SQS returns the OverLimit error message. To avoid reaching the limit, you should delete messages from the queue after they're processed. You can also increase the number of queues you use to process your messages.
For FIFO queues, there can be a maximum of 20,000 inflight messages per queue. If you reach this limit, Amazon SQS returns no error messages.
Warning
If you attempt to set the VisibilityTimeout to a value greater than the maximum time left, Amazon SQS returns an error. Amazon SQS doesn't automatically recalculate and increase the timeout to the maximum remaining time.
Unlike with a queue, when you change the visibility timeout for a specific message the timeout value is applied immediately but isn't saved in memory for that message. If you don't delete a message after it is received, the visibility timeout for the message reverts to the original timeout value (not to the value you set using the ChangeMessageVisibility action) the next time the message is received.

Request Syntax
response = client.change_message_visibility(
QueueUrl='string',
ReceiptHandle='string',
VisibilityTimeout=123
)
[REQUIRED]
The URL of the Amazon SQS queue whose message's visibility is changed.
Queue URLs are case-sensitive.
[REQUIRED]
The receipt handle associated with the message whose visibility timeout is changed. This parameter is returned by the `` ReceiveMessage `` action.
[REQUIRED]

None
Changes the visibility timeout of multiple messages. This is a batch version of `` ChangeMessageVisibility .`` The result of the action on each message is reported individually in the response. You can send up to 10 `` ChangeMessageVisibility `` requests with each ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch action.
Warning
Because the batch request can result in a combination of successful and unsuccessful actions, you should check for batch errors even when the call returns an HTTP status code of 200 .
Note
Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:
&Attribute.1=this
&Attribute.2=that

Creates a new standard or FIFO queue. You can pass one or more attributes in the request. Keep the following caveats in mind:
Note
You can't change the queue type after you create it and you can't convert an existing standard queue into a FIFO queue. You must either create a new FIFO queue for your application or delete your existing standard queue and recreate it as a FIFO queue. For more information, see Moving From a Standard Queue to a FIFO Queue in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
To successfully create a new queue, you must provide a queue name that adheres to the limits related to queues and is unique within the scope of your queues.
To get the queue URL, use the `` GetQueueUrl `` action. `` GetQueueUrl `` requires only the QueueName parameter. be aware of existing queue names:
Note
Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:

Response Structure
(dict) --
Returns the QueueUrl attribute of the created queue.
QueueUrl (string) --
The URL of the created Amazon SQS queue.
Examples
The following operation creates an SQS queue named MyQueue.
response = client.create_queue(
QueueName='MyQueue',

}
Deletes the specified message from the specified queue. You specify the message by using the message's receipt handle and not the MessageId you receive when you send the message. Even if the message is locked by another reader due to the visibility timeout setting, it is still deleted from the queue. If you leave a message in the queue for longer than the queue's configured retention period, Amazon SQS automatically deletes the message.
Note
The receipt handle is associated with a specific instance of receiving the message. If you receive a message more than once, the receipt handle you get each time you receive the message is different. If you don't provide the most recently received receipt handle for the message when you use the DeleteMessage action, the request succeeds, but the message might not be deleted.
For standard queues, it is possible to receive a message even after you delete it. This might happen on rare occasions if one of the servers storing a copy of the message is unavailable when you send the request to delete the message. The copy remains on the server and might be returned to you on a subsequent receive request. You should ensure that your application is idempotent, so that receiving a message more than once does not cause issues.

Deletes the queue specified by the QueueUrl , regardless of the queue's contents. If the specified queue doesn't exist, Amazon SQS returns a successful response.
Warning
Be careful with the DeleteQueue action: When you delete a queue, any messages in the queue are no longer available.
When you delete a queue, the deletion process takes up to 60 seconds. Requests you send involving that queue during the 60 seconds might succeed. For example, a `` SendMessage `` request might succeed, but after 60 seconds the queue and the message you sent no longer exist.
When you delete a queue, you must wait at least 60 seconds before creating a queue with the same name.

Deletes the messages in a queue specified by the QueueURL parameter.
Warning
When you use the PurgeQueue action, you can't retrieve a message deleted from a queue.
When you purge a queue, the message deletion process takes up to 60 seconds. All messages sent to the queue before calling the PurgeQueue action are deleted. Messages sent to the queue while it is being purged might be deleted. While the queue is being purged, messages sent to the queue before PurgeQueue is called might be received, but are deleted within the next minute.
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = client.purge_queue(
QueueUrl='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
The URL of the queue from which the PurgeQueue action deletes messages.
Queue URLs are case-sensitive.
Retrieves one or more messages (up to 10), from the specified queue. Using the WaitTimeSeconds parameter enables long-poll support. For more information, see Amazon SQS Long Polling in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
Short poll is the default behavior where a weighted random set of machines is sampled on a ReceiveMessage call. Thus, only the messages on the sampled machines are returned. If the number of messages in the queue is small (fewer than 1,000), you most likely get fewer messages than you requested per ReceiveMessage call. If the number of messages in the queue is extremely small, you might not receive any messages in a particular ReceiveMessage response. If this happens, repeat the request.
For each message returned, the response includes the following:
The receipt handle is the identifier you must provide when deleting the message. For more information, see Queue and Message Identifiers in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
You can provide the VisibilityTimeout parameter in your request. The parameter is applied to the messages that Amazon SQS returns in the response. If you don't include the parameter, the overall visibility timeout for the queue is used for the returned messages. For more information, see Visibility Timeout in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
A message that isn't deleted or a message whose visibility isn't extended before the visibility timeout expires counts as a failed receive. Depending on the configuration of the queue, the message might be sent to the dead-letter queue.
Note
In the future, new attributes might be added. If you write code that calls this action, we recommend that you structure your code so that it can handle new attributes gracefully.

ReceiveRequestAttemptId='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
The URL of the Amazon SQS queue from which messages are received.
Queue URLs are case-sensitive.
A list of attributes that need to be returned along with each message. These attributes include:
Any other valid special request parameters (such as the following) are ignored:
The name of the message attribute, where N is the index.
When using ReceiveMessage , you can send a list of attribute names to receive, or you can return all of the attributes by specifying All or .* in your request. You can also use all message attributes starting with a prefix, for example bar.* .
This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The token used for deduplication of ReceiveMessage calls. If a networking issue occurs after a ReceiveMessage action, and instead of a response you receive a generic error, you can retry the same action with an identical ReceiveRequestAttemptId to retrieve the same set of messages, even if their visibility timeout has not yet expired.
Warning
If a caller of the ReceiveMessage action is still processing messages when the visibility timeout expires and messages become visible, another worker reading from the same queue can receive the same messages and therefore process duplicates. Also, if a reader whose message processing time is longer than the visibility timeout tries to delete the processed messages, the action fails with an error. To mitigate this effect, ensure that your application observes a safe threshold before the visibility timeout expires and extend the visibility timeout as necessary.
The length of ReceiveRequestAttemptId is 128 characters. ReceiveRequestAttemptId can contain alphanumeric characters (a-z , A-Z , 0-9 ) and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ ).

If a message is sent successfully but the acknowledgement is lost and the message is resent with the same MessageDeduplicationId after the deduplication interval, Amazon SQS can't detect duplicate messages.
The length of MessageDeduplicationId is 128 characters. MessageDeduplicationId can contain alphanumeric characters (a-z , A-Z , 0-9 ) and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~ ).
For best practices of using MessageDeduplicationId , see Using the MessageDeduplicationId Property in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The tag that specifies that a message belongs to a specific message group. Messages that belong to the same message group are processed in a FIFO manner (however, messages in different message groups might be processed out of order). To interleave multiple ordered streams within a single queue, use MessageGroupId values (for example, session data for multiple users). In this scenario, multiple readers can process the queue, but the session data of each user is processed in a FIFO fashion.
The length of MessageGroupId is 128 characters. Valid values are alphanumeric characters and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~) .
For best practices of using MessageGroupId , see Using the MessageGroupId Property in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
Warning
MessageGroupId is required for FIFO queues. You can't use it for Standard queues.

Response Structure
(dict) --
The MD5OfMessageBody and MessageId elements.
MD5OfMessageBody (string) --
An MD5 digest of the non-URL-encoded message attribute string. You can use this attribute to verify that Amazon SQS received the message correctly. Amazon SQS URL-decodes the message before creating the MD5 digest. For information about MD5, see RFC1321 .
MD5OfMessageAttributes (string) --
An MD5 digest of the non-URL-encoded message attribute string. You can use this attribute to verify that Amazon SQS received the message correctly. Amazon SQS URL-decodes the message before creating the MD5 digest. For information about MD5, see RFC1321 .
MessageId (string) --
An attribute containing the MessageId of the message sent to the queue. For more information, see Queue and Message Identifiers in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
SequenceNumber (string) --
This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The large, non-consecutive number that Amazon SQS assigns to each message.
The length of SequenceNumber is 128 bits. SequenceNumber continues to increase for a particular MessageGroupId .
Delivers up to ten messages to the specified queue. This is a batch version of `` SendMessage .`` For a FIFO queue, multiple messages within a single batch are enqueued in the order they are sent.
The result of sending each message is reported individually in the response. Because the batch request can result in a combination of successful and unsuccessful actions, you should check for batch errors even when the call returns an HTTP status code of 200 .
The maximum allowed individual message size and the maximum total payload size (the sum of the individual lengths of all of the batched messages) are both 256 KB (262,144 bytes).
Warning
A message can include only XML, JSON, and unformatted text. The following Unicode characters are allowed:
#x9 | #xA | #xD | #x20 to #xD7FF | #xE000 to #xFFFD | #x10000 to #x10FFFF
Any characters not included in this list will be rejected. For more information, see the W3C specification for characters .
If you don't specify the DelaySeconds parameter for an entry, Amazon SQS uses the default value for the queue.
Note
Some actions take lists of parameters. These lists are specified using the param.n notation. Values of n are integers starting from 1. For example, a parameter list with two elements looks like this:
&Attribute.1=this
&Attribute.2=that

The URL of the Amazon SQS queue to which batched messages are sent.
Queue URLs are case-sensitive.
[REQUIRED]
A list of `` SendMessageBatchRequestEntry `` items.
Contains the details of a single Amazon SQS message along with an Id .
An identifier for a message in this batch used to communicate the result.
Note
The Id s of a batch request need to be unique within a request
The body of the message.
The length of time, in seconds, for which a specific message is delayed. Valid values: 0 to 900. Maximum: 15 minutes. Messages with a positive DelaySeconds value become available for processing after the delay period is finished. If you don't specify a value, the default value for the queue is applied.
Note
When you set FifoQueue , you can't set DelaySeconds per message. You can set this parameter only on a queue level.
Each message attribute consists of a Name , Type , and Value . For more information, see Message Attribute Items and Validation in the Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide .
The user-specified message attribute value. For string data types, the Value attribute has the same restrictions on the content as the message body. For more information, see `` SendMessage .``
Name , type , value and the message body must not be empty or null. All parts of the message attribute, including Name , Type , and Value , are part of the message size restriction (256 KB or 262,144 bytes).
Strings are Unicode with UTF-8 binary encoding. For a list of code values, see ASCII Printable Characters .
Binary type attributes can store any binary data, such as compressed data, encrypted data, or images.

This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The token used for deduplication of messages within a 5-minute minimum deduplication interval. If a message with a particular MessageDeduplicationId is sent successfully, subsequent messages with the same MessageDeduplicationId are accepted successfully but aren't delivered.
