##########################
Using queues in Amazon SQS
##########################
This Python example shows you how to:
* Get a list of all of your message queues
* Obtain the URL for a particular queue
* Create and delete queues
The scenario
============
In this example, Python code is used to work with queues. The code uses the AWS SDK for Python to use
queues using these methods of the AWS.SQS client class:
* `list_queues <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#SQS.Client.list_queues>`_.
* `create_queue <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#SQS.Client.create_queue>`_.
* `get_queue_url <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#SQS.Client.get_queue_url>`_.
* `delete_queue <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#SQS.Client.delete_queue>`_.
For more information about Amazon SQS messages, see
`How Queues Work <http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/sqs-how-it-works.html>`_
in the *Amazon Simple Queue Service Developer Guide*.
List your queues
================
The example below shows how to:
* List queues using
`list_queues <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#SQS.Client.list_queues>`_.
Example
-------
.. code-block:: python
import boto3
# Create SQS client
sqs = boto3.client('sqs')
# List SQS queues
response = sqs.list_queues()
print(response['QueueUrls'])
.. _aws-boto3-sqs-create-queue:
Create a queue
==============
The example below shows how to:
* Create a queue using
`create_queue <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#SQS.Client.create_queue>`_.
Example
-------
.. code-block:: python
import boto3
# Create SQS client
sqs = boto3.client('sqs')
# Create a SQS queue
response = sqs.create_queue(
QueueName='SQS_QUEUE_NAME',
Attributes={
'DelaySeconds': '60',
'MessageRetentionPeriod': '86400'
}
)
print(response['QueueUrl'])
Get the URL for a queue
=======================
The example below shows how to:
* Get the URL for a queue using
`get_queue_url <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#SQS.Client.get_queue_url>`_.
Example
-------
.. code-block:: python
import boto3
# Create SQS client
sqs = boto3.client('sqs')
# Get URL for SQS queue
response = sqs.get_queue_url(QueueName='SQS_QUEUE_NAME')
print(response['QueueUrl'])
Delete a queue
==============
The example below shows how to:
* Delete a queue using
`delete_queue <https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#SQS.Client.delete_queue>`_.
Example
-------
.. code-block:: python
import boto3
# Create SQS client
sqs = boto3.client('sqs')
# Delete SQS queue
sqs.delete_queue(QueueUrl='SQS_QUEUE_URL')
