Example below shows upload and download object operations on MinIO server using aws-sdk-python.

#!/usr/bin/env/python
import boto3
from botocore.client import Config


s3 = boto3.resource('s3',
                    endpoint_url='http://localhost:9000',
                    aws_access_key_id='YOUR-ACCESSKEYID',

# upload a file from local file system '/home/john/piano.mp3' to bucket 'songs' with 'piano.mp3' as the object name.
s3.Bucket('songs').upload_file('/home/john/piano.mp3','piano.mp3')

# download the object 'piano.mp3' from the bucket 'songs' and save it to local FS as /tmp/classical.mp3
s3.Bucket('songs').download_file('piano.mp3', '/tmp/classical.mp3')
