Create anonymous clients - AWS SDK for PHP

Create anonymous clients

In some cases, you might want to create a client that is not associated with any credentials. This enables you to make anonymous requests to a service.

For example, you can configure both Amazon S3 objects and Amazon CloudSearch domains to allow anonymous access.

To create an anonymous client, you set the 'credentials' option to false.

$s3Client = new S3Client([ 'version' => 'latest', 'region' => 'us-west-2', 'credentials' => false ]); // Makes an anonymous request. The object would need to be publicly // readable for this to succeed. $result = $s3Client->getObject([ 'Bucket' => 'amzn-s3-demo-bucket', 'Key' => 'my-key', ]);
