How to GET data from s3 using postman

I am trying to get data from file in s3 bucket. In postman set the response to GET for https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/test-bucket-name/file-name? Entered Access Key: xxx123 Secret Access: xxxx12322 aws region: eu-west-1 service name: s3

In response i am getting access denied. Do i need to do any pre work to get the access keys working as they are generated for users and are used for CLI commands from my machine.

Many thanks in advance.

  • For this you have to make sure that you have an IAM user with the AmazonS3ReadOnlyPolicy to gain access to the object present in it.

    I had this similar problem when I first started AWS and this link helped me :-
