AWS Kinesis is a platform on AWS to collect, process, and analyze real-time, streaming data. It enables developers to build applications that can continuously ingest and process large streams of data records in real-time. Kinesis is commonly used for log and event data collection, real-time analytics, and machine learning applications.
When working with AWS Kinesis, you might encounter the InvalidClientTokenId error. This error typically appears when attempting to authenticate or authorize requests to AWS services, including Kinesis.
Developers may see an error message similar to the following:
{
"__type": "InvalidClientTokenId",
"message": "The security token included in the request is invalid."
}
The InvalidClientTokenId error indicates that the AWS access key ID provided in the request does not exist or is incorrect. This can occur if the access key ID has been deleted, is incorrectly configured, or if there is a typo in the credentials file.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Ensure that the AWS access key ID you are using is correct. You can verify this by checking the AWS Management Console:
Ensure that your AWS credentials file is correctly configured. The credentials file is typically located at ~/.aws/credentials on Linux and macOS, and C:\Users\USERNAME\.aws\credentials on Windows.
[default]
aws_access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID
aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
Make sure there are no typos in the access key ID.
If the access key ID is correct but still not working, consider rotating your access keys:
