AWS Kinesis is a platform on AWS to collect, process, and analyze real-time, streaming data. It allows developers to build applications that can continuously ingest and process large streams of data records in real time. Kinesis is commonly used for real-time analytics, log and event data collection, and processing.
When working with AWS Kinesis, you might encounter the InvalidAction error. This error typically manifests when you attempt to perform an action that is not recognized or supported by the AWS Kinesis service. The error message will usually indicate that the action is invalid, which can be confusing if you're not familiar with the specific actions supported by Kinesis.
The InvalidAction error occurs when an API request is made with an action that is not valid for AWS Kinesis. This can happen if there is a typo in the action name, or if the action is not supported by the specific Kinesis service you are using, such as Kinesis Data Streams, Kinesis Data Firehose, or Kinesis Data Analytics.
To resolve the InvalidAction error, follow these steps:
Ensure that the action name in your API request is spelled correctly and matches the action names supported by AWS Kinesis. You can refer to the AWS Kinesis API Reference for a list of valid actions.
If you are using an AWS SDK, make sure it is updated to the latest version. Some actions may not be available in older versions of the SDK. You can find the latest SDK versions on the AWS Tools and SDKs page.
Ensure that the action you are trying to perform is supported by the specific Kinesis service you are using. For example, some actions are exclusive to Kinesis Data Streams and are not applicable to Kinesis Data Firehose.
