Uploading Files To Amazon S3 With Flask Form – Part1 – Uploading Small Files
Uploading Files To Amazon S3 With Flask Form – Part1 – Uploading Small Files
This article is aimed at developers who are interested to upload small files to Amazon S3 using Flask Forms. In the following tutorial, I will start with an overview of the Amazon S3 followed by the python Boto3 code to manage file operations on the S3 bucket and finally integrate the code with Flask Form.
1) Application Overview
As a web developer, it is a common requirement to have the functionality of uploading the files to a database or to a server for further processing. Cloud computing brings the concept of treating the infrastructure as not hardware rather as software enabling the web developers with limited knowledge of infrastructure/hardware to take full advantage of the services.
Amazon is the most popular choice of cloud computing and Python became the go-to programming language for any cloud computing.
Objectives of this tutorial:
By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to:
- Create an S3 bucket with Python SDK.
- Enable bucket versioning to keep a track of file versions.
- Upload small files to S3 with Python SDK.
- Create a Flask Form to allow a certain type of files to upload to S3.
Uploading Files To Amazon S3 With Flask Form Design
Alright, let us start with an introduction to Amazon S3.
2) Introduction To Amazon S3
Amazon Simple Storage Service (in short S3) provides secure and highly scalable object storage which is very easy to use as it has a very simple web service interface to store and retrieve any amount of data. The main advantage of using S3 to store objects (in our case small files) is to access them anytime anywhere from the web rather than logging into a database or an application server to access a file.
With AWS SDK we can integrate S3 with other AWS services and external Flask applications as well.
The term “files” and “objects” are pretty much the same when dealing with AWS S3 as it refers to all the files as objects. Let us understand the basic components of S3 before go any further.
AWS S3 Components
The basic components of an S3 bucket are
- Bucket name
- Objects /files in a bucket
- Key.
The above diagram should help you understand how the components are classified in an S3 bucket. The Key is a unique identifier mapped to each object in an S3. More details on S3 can be found on their official website.
3) Storage Solution With Python SDK
Next up we are going to get our back end code ready which takes the input object from the user through the flask form and loads it into the S3. First thing first let’s create the S3 bucket.
Install the python botot3 with python package manager i.e. pip
1 | pip install boto3 |
1) Define S3 Client
We need to import boto3 into our code and also define a function to define the s3 client. As S3 is a global service and not region-specific we need not specify the region while defining the client.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | import boto3 import json import datetime import sys import botocore from botocore.exceptions import ClientError from pyboto3 import * # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def s3_client(): """ Function: get s3 client Purpose: get s3 client :returns: s3 """ session = boto3.session.Session() client = session.client('s3') """ :type : pyboto3.s3 """ return client |
2) Create S3 Bucket
The following function will accept the bucket name as a parameter and uses the s3 client from the above function to create the bucket in your current region. If the region is not specified the bucket is created in the default “us-east” region. The bucket name must adhere to the below standards
- The bucket name must be 3 – 63 characters in length.
- Lower case, numbers, and hyphens are allowed to use.
- Do not use dot (.) and hyphen (-) characters in the bucket name.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 | # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def s3_create_bucket(bucket_name): """ function: s3_create_bucket - create s3 bucket :args: s3 bucket name :returns: bucket """ # fetch the region session = boto3.session.Session() current_region = session.region_name # get the client client = s3_client() print(f" *** You are in {current_region} AWS region..\n Bucket name passed is - {bucket_name}") s3_bucket_create_response = client.create_bucket(Bucket=bucket_name, CreateBucketConfiguration={ 'LocationConstraint': current_region}) print(f" *** Response when creating bucket - {s3_bucket_create_response} ") return s3_bucket_create_response |
3) Creating Bucket Policy
Now we have a bucket created, we will create a bucket policy to restrict who and from where the objects inside the buckets can be accessed. In short, bucket policy is the way to configure the access policies to your bucket like the IP Ranges, hosts, who, and what can be done to your bucket.
I will be using the JSON format (dictionary format) to specify the policy configuration.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 | # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def s3_create_bucket_policy(s3_bucket_name): """ function: s3_create_bucket_policy - Apply bucket policy :args: none :returns: none Notes: For test purpose let us allow all the actions, Need to change later. """ resource = f"arn:aws:s3:::{s3_bucket_name}/*" s3_bucket_policy = {"Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "AddPerm", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": "*", "Action": "s3:*", "Resource": resource, "Condition": { "IpAddress": {"aws:SourceIp": ""} } } ]} # prepare policy to be applied to AWS as Json policy = json.dumps(s3_bucket_policy) # apply policy s3_bucket_policy_response = s3_client().put_bucket_policy(Bucket=s3_bucket_name, Policy=policy) # print response print(f" ** Response when applying policy to {s3_bucket_name} is {s3_bucket_policy_response} ") return s3_bucket_policy_response |
4) Versioning Objects In S3
AWS S3 provides the versioning of the objects in S3 and by default, it is not enabled. Each object has a unique version ID in buckets with version enabled.
The version id for objects will be set to Null for S3 buckets that are not version enabled.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def s3_version_bucket_files(s3_bucket_name): client = s3_client() version_bucket_response = client.put_bucket_versioning(Bucket=s3_bucket_name, VersioningConfiguration={'Status': 'Enabled'}) # check apply bucket response.. if version_bucket_response['ResponseMetadata']['HTTPStatusCode'] == 204: print(f" *** Successfully applied Versioning to {s3_bucket_name}") else: print(f" *** Failed while applying Versioning to bucket") |
5) Validating Bucket and Bucket Policy
Now that we have the code for creating the bucket and the policy, we will execute the code and validate the bucket and its policy using the following code.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 | import boto3 import argparse import json import datetime import sys import botocore import time import click from botocore.exceptions import ClientError from pyboto3 import * # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def s3_client(): """ Function: get s3 client Purpose: get s3 client :returns: s3 """ session = boto3.session.Session() client = session.client('s3') """ :type : pyboto3.s3 """ return client # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def list_s3_buckets(): """ Function: list_s3_buckets Purpose: Get the list of s3 buckets :returns: s3 buckets in your aws account """ client = s3_client() buckets_response = client.list_buckets() # check buckets list returned successfully if buckets_response['ResponseMetadata']['HTTPStatusCode'] == 200: for s3_buckets in buckets_response['Buckets']: print(f" *** Bucket Name: {s3_buckets['Name']} - Created on {s3_buckets['CreationDate']} \n") else: print(f" *** Failed while trying to get buckets list from your account") # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def s3_create_bucket(bucket_name): """ function: s3_create_bucket - create s3 bucket :args: s3 bucket name :returns: bucket """ # fetch the region session = boto3.session.Session() current_region = session.region_name # get the client client = s3_client() print(f" *** You are in {current_region} AWS region..\n Bucket name passed is - {bucket_name}") s3_bucket_create_response = client.create_bucket(Bucket=bucket_name, CreateBucketConfiguration={ 'LocationConstraint': current_region}) print(f" *** Response when creating bucket - {s3_bucket_create_response} ") return s3_bucket_create_response # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def s3_create_bucket_policy(s3_bucket_name): """ function: s3_create_bucket_policy - Apply bucket policy :args: none :returns: none Notes: For test purpose let us allow all the actions, Need to change later.

4) Uploading Small Files To S3 With Python SDK
Amazon S3 provides a couple of ways to upload the files, depending on the size of the file user can choose to upload a small file using the “put_object” method or use the multipart upload method. I will upload a separate tutorial on how to upload huge files to S3 with Flask. In this tutorial, we will focus on uploading small files.
From the S3 API specification, to upload a file we need to pass the full file path, bucket name, and KEY. The KEY as you can remember from the introduction section identifies the location path of your file in an S3 bucket. As S3 works as a key-value pair, it is mandatory to pass the KEY to the upload_file method.
The following two methods will show you how to upload a small file to S3 followed by listing all the files in a bucket.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | # ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ def s3_upload_small_files(inp_file_name, s3_bucket_name, inp_file_key, content_type): client = s3_client() upload_file_response = client.put_object(Body=inp_file_name, Bucket=s3_bucket_name, Key=inp_file_key, ContentType=content_type) print(f" ** Response - {upload_file_response}") |
5. Integration With Flask Web Application
Let us set up the app like below and then we will go into details.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | ~/Flask-Upload-Small-Files-S3 |-- app.py |__ /views |-- s3.py |__ /templates |__ /includes |-- _flashmsg.html |-- _formhelpers.html |__ main.html |
Time to discuss the components in detail before we execute the code We will first discuss the design steps that are being implemented. The design is pretty simple and I will do my best to explain it in that way.
5a) Components: Templates/main,html
I will be using a single template (main.html) simple enough for this demonstration purpose.
This is the home page for the user to upload a file to S3. The HTML template is quite simple with just the upload file option and submits button.
The template is embedded with flask messages while will be passed by the application code based on the validation results. If the user submits the button without choosing a file or uploads a file that is not in the allowed extensions the error message appears on the main page else a success message appears.

5e) Components: app.py
The app.py is the main orchestrator of our program. We first set the allowed file extensions to Excel spreadsheets using the ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS variable. The function index or the app route ‘/’ just displays the main.html page.
The function upload_files_to_s3 will be triggered when the user clicks on the submit button on the main.html page and validates the following scenarios:
- If the file to upload is empty (i.e. missing) or the file extension is not in the allowed extensions variable the function throws the error message.
- If the file to upload is in the allowed extensions then the file will be uploaded to S3 using the s3_upload_small_files function in views/s3.py
