🧱How to use Amazon Bedrock with Python (boto3)

Source: Dev.to

🧰 Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• AWS account with Bedrock enabled
• AWS credentials configured (CLI, environment variables, or IAM role)

📦 Install boto3

pip install boto3

🧠 Python example: Claude on Amazon Bedrock

import boto3
import json

client = boto3.client(
    "bedrock-runtime",
    region_name="us-east-1"
)

payload = {
    "prompt": "Human: Explain what Amazon Bedrock is in simple terms.\nAssistant:",
    "max_tokens_to_sample": 200
}

response = client.invoke_model(
    modelId="anthropic.claude-v2",
    body=json.dumps(payload)
)

result = response["body"].read().decode("utf-8")
print(result)

🔍 What’s happening here?

• bedrock-runtime is used to call foundation models.
• invoke_model() sends a prompt to Claude.
• The response is streamed back and decoded.
