How to use API Geofence from Amazon Location Service?

Question

Hello everybody.
I want to get the collection list from the following API ‘https://geofencing.geo.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/geofencing/v0/list-collections’ provided by AWS documentation, I have followed the recommendations both to create the guest authentication in Amazon Cognito and appended the policy policies that the documentation recommends and I get the following error 403 ‘message’: ‘Missing Authentication Token’, My question is as follows: Can you get the list only with guess permission from Amazon Cognito or do you need a user with Access Key, Secret Key to query the endpoints.

Best regards.

Hi there. Are you obtaining SigV4 credentials from IAM via Cognito before making the API call? You can absolutely give guest access to geofences in a Cognito policy, however the 403 error indicates you are not passing the appropriate credentials when making the API call.
