# ACM code examples for the SDK for Python

## Overview

Shows how to use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to work with AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).

<!--custom.overview.start-->
<!--custom.overview.end-->

*ACM helps you to provision, manage, and renew publicly trusted TLS certificates on AWS based websites.*

## ⚠ Important

* Running this code might result in charges to your AWS account. For more details, see [AWS Pricing](https://aws.amazon.com/pricing/?aws-products-pricing.sort-by=item.additionalFields.productNameLowercase&aws-products-pricing.sort-order=asc&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Type=*all&awsf.tech-category=*all) and [Free Tier](https://aws.amazon.com/free/?all-free-tier.sort-by=item.additionalFields.SortRank&all-free-tier.sort-order=asc&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Types=*all&awsf.Free%20Tier%20Categories=*all).
* Running the tests might result in charges to your AWS account.
* We recommend that you grant your code least privilege. At most, grant only the minimum permissions required to perform the task. For more information, see [Grant least privilege](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html#grant-least-privilege).
* This code is not tested in every AWS Region. For more information, see [AWS Regional Services](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services).

* [Remove tags from a certificate](certificate_basics.py#L194) (`RemoveTagsFromCertificate`)
* [Request validation of a certificate](certificate_basics.py#L221) (`RequestCertificate`)
* [Resend validation email for a certificate](certificate_basics.py#L265) (`ResendValidationEmail`)

### Scenarios

Code examples that show you how to accomplish a specific task by calling multiple
functions within the same service.

* [Manage certificates](certificate_basics.py)

## Run the examples

### Instructions

#### Manage certificates

This example shows you how to do the following:

* Request a certificate from ACM.
* Import a self-signed certificate.
* List and describe certificates.
* Remove certificates.

<!--custom.scenario_prereqs.acm_Usage_ImportListRemove.start-->
<!--custom.scenario_prereqs.acm_Usage_ImportListRemove.end-->

Start the example by running the following at a command prompt:

```
python certificate_basics.py
```


<!--custom.scenarios.acm_Usage_ImportListRemove.start-->
<!--custom.scenarios.acm_Usage_ImportListRemove.end-->

### Tests

⚠ Running tests might result in charges to your AWS account.


To find instructions for running these tests, see the [README](../../README.md#Tests)
in the `python` folder.
