Create a message and print its messageId - AWS SQS

Question

How do I create a message and print its messageID on AWS SQS using boto? Also, can I create a message with custom attributes?

Answer 1

Use the following code for adding a message at the end of the queue:

sqs = boto3.resource('sqs')

queue = sqs.get_queue_by_name(QueueName='test')

response = queue.send_message(MessageBody='world')
print(response.get('MessageId'))
print(response.get('MD5OfMessageBody'))

And have a look at this thread to create a message using the custom attributes: https://www.edureka.co/community/55186/can-i-create-a-message-with-custom-attributes-aws-sqs
