Call AWS CloundFront API with CURL

Question

Is it possible to call AWS CloundFront API with CURL? I would like to trigger an invalidation without installing much dependency. But I'm unable to make a simple GET request to the API:

curl -v -X GET \
-H "Date: $(date -R)" \
-H "Authorization: AWS ${CLOUDFRONT_ACCESS_KEY}:$(echo -en ${CLOUDFRONT_ACCESS_KEY} | openssl sha1 -hmac ${CLOUDFRONT_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY} -binary | base64)" \
https://cloudfront.amazonaws.com/2020-05-31/distribution/EMC3WW4JXXXXX/invalidation/IXMUICGG7L77A

Results

You can take a look at Signing AWS requests with Signature Version 4 for signing the request.

Plus the invalidation API call needs more params for making the call as per the documentation

I usually keep this handy s3-rest-api-with-curl
