How to Implement Amazon Kinesis PutMedia Method using PYTHON

I'm trying to recognize faces in a video stream using these instructions but I couldn't find any help to implement PutMedia operation using Python. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and Python 3.6. Any hint please so I can implement it using Python.

maybe it is too late, but hope it can help you.
the answer is from this article, and i have changed just a little. to use the code below, you need add your own configurations shown in "<>"

The input of PutMedia is not frames, you will need to provide MKV format input to it. You can refer to a similar example for PutMedia in java here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/examples-putmedia.html

AWS SigV4 request signature does not match

I am getting Invalid Request with below error message when trying to create a thing-type using Rest API. I am not using aws-sdk rather python rest client.

For most use cases, I'd recommend leaning on a library for this. Since you're using the requests library, aws-requests-auth is an attractive choice.
If you really are interested in implementing the signing process yourself, this test suite may help you figure out what's going wrong.
The only thing I noticed looking at your code:
When I use aws-requests-auth, my call looks like this:
response = requests.post('https://<api-endpoint>',
auth=auth,
data= json.dumps({'payload': 'data'}))
Just wanted to call out the json.dumps(), which stringifies my params object. Amazon's sample also uses a string for the request_parameters.
I'm not sure where payload comes from in your code, but make sure you're turning it into a string if it isn't already one.
Update
I looked at your code more closely, and you need to implement Step 2 under Task 1 - Create canonical URI. This URI is indeed "/" for the dynamo call, but yours should look something like this:
# Step 2: Create canonical URI--the part of the URI from domain to query
# string (use '/' if no path)
canonical_uri = '/thing-types/GasSensor'
Also, this request will succeed with or without a Content-Type header. So this:
content_type='application/json'
canonical_headers = 'content-type:' + content_type + '\n' + 'host:' + host + '\n' + 'x-amz-date:' + amz_date + '\n'
signed_headers = 'content-type;host;x-amz-date'
And this:
canonical_headers = 'host:' + host + '\n' + 'x-amz-date:' + amz_date + '\n'
signed_headers = 'host;x-amz-date'
Both work for me.

I have correctly set the access id and secret access key. I used the same with boto python library and it seems to work when I list buckets, put objects etc. However when I use the above method I get back a 403 error saying "The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method." I am not sure what is wrong with the above method. Any pointers.?

The canonical headers should have a trailing newline and canonical_request needs the canonical_querystring line even if it is blank. Also, use UNSIGNED_PAYLOAD for amz_content_sha256 for GET requests.

Accessing stream in job.get_output('body')

Sample code
import boto3
glacier = boto3.resource('glacier')
job = glacier.Job(accountID, vaultlist[0], id=joblist[0])
r = job.get_output()
print(r0['body'])
That print only yields botocore.response.StreamingBody at 0xsnip
r0['body'] should be the inventory in CSV format, but I can't figure out how to get to it. I spent a bit of time trying to us io to read in the steam and either that is not the right way or I did it wrong. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Here's a solution that worked for me to save a glacier archive that showed up as a StreamingBody to a file. This in particular was an mp3 file.
import boto3
glacier = boto3.resource('glacier')
job = glacier.Job(accountID, vaultName, jobID)
r = job.get_output()
f1 = open('my file',"wb")
f1.write(r['body'].read())
f1.close

OK I couldn't get the other way to work at all, mostly my own lack of skills I'm sure. But I was able to use the HTTP GET to download the inventory into a file. This is how I did that. You will see lots of I had two vaults, one job each, you could modify this and loop in other ways or just use [0] for both lists if you have one vault and one job, but the important part is the sample from Amazon EC2 that I modified to retrieve the Inventory from a completed Glacier Job.
I know my code it not very well written, but it worked for my one-shot need.
Hope this is helpful to others.
