How to Convert Data from botocore.response.StreamingBody to JSON in Python with Boto3

When working with files stored in Amazon S3, you may encounter situations where the files don’t have extensions, like .csv or .json. Although the data is structured like JSON, this can lead to some confusion, especially when you’re trying to access and convert it into a usable JSON format. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to access such files using Boto3 and convert them into JSON using Python.

Understanding the Problem

You might be in a position similar to a user who is trying to use Boto3 to read files from S3. They can successfully retrieve the object, but the data comes back wrapped in a <botocore.response.StreamingBody> object. The goal here is to extract this data and convert it to JSON.

Here’s a Quick Example of Retrieving an Object:

As you retrieve the object, obj['Body'] will give you the StreamingBody instance, which contains the contents of your file.

The Solutions

Fortunately, even though the file lacks an extension, it’s entirely possible to read its contents and convert it to JSON. Here’s how:

Step 1: Use the Read Method

You will first need to read the data from the StreamingBody object. This can be achieved using the read() method:

Step 2: Convert to JSON

Once you've read the data, the next step is to convert it into a JSON object. To achieve this, you can use the json library's loads() method. Here’s how to do this in one line:

Conclusion

In summary, handling files from S3 without an extension can be easily managed using Boto3 in Python. As long as the data within the file is structured correctly, you can use the json.loads() method to convert it seamlessly into JSON format. Remember that the absence of a file extension doesn’t affect how you can access and manipulate data stored in S3.

Now you can manage and utilize your S3 data more effectively! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification on the process.
