Developer Quickstart

Invoke Bedrock via Amazon Bedrock Converse API

Python (boto3) · Amazon Bedrock Runtime

import boto3

# Amazon Bedrock Converse API invocation
client = boto3.client("bedrock-runtime", region_name="us-east-1")

response = client.converse(
    modelId="amazon.bedrock-v1:0",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [{"text": "Summarize key features and cost levers of Bedrock."}]
        }
    ],
    inferenceConfig={
        "maxTokens": 1024,
        "temperature": 0.7
    }
)

output_text = response["output"]["message"]["content"][0]["text"]
usage = response["usage"]
print(f"Response: {output_text}")
print(f"Usage: {usage['inputTokens']} in, {usage['outputTokens']} out")
