CLI to put data into AWS Firehose

Question

AWS Firehose was released today. I'm playing around with it and trying to figure out how to put data into the stream using AWS CLI. I have a simple JSON payload and the corresponding Redshift table with columns that map to the JSON attributes. I've tried various combinations but I can't seem to pass in the JSON payload via the cli.

What I've tried:

aws firehose put-record --delivery-stream-name test-delivery-stream --record '{ "attribute": 1 }'

aws firehose put-record --delivery-stream-name test-delivery-stream --record { "attribute": 1 }

aws firehose put-record --delivery-stream-name test-delivery-stream --record Data='{ "attribute": 1 }'

aws firehose put-record --delivery-stream-name test-delivery-stream --record Data={ "attribute": 1 }

aws firehose put-record --delivery-stream-name test-delivery-stream --cli-input-json '{ "attribute": 1 }'

aws firehose put-record --delivery-stream-name test-delivery-stream --cli-input-json { "attribute": 1 }

I've looked at the cli help which hasn't helped. This article was published today but looks like the command they use is already outdated as the argument "--firehose-name" has been replaced by "--delivery-stream-name".

Answer 1

Escape the double-quotes around keys and values inside the blob:

aws firehose put-record --delivery-stream-name test-delivery-stream --record '{"Data":"{\"attribute\":1}"}'

Answer 2

I have issues with my credentials and region, but this syntax at least got me past parsing errors:

aws firehose put-record --cli-input-json '{"DeliveryStreamName":"testdata","Record":{"Data":"test data"}}'
