How to get receipt handle from sqs queue response, getting(TypeError 'sqs.Message' object is not subscriptable
Question:
I have one queue I’m sending some message in that and want to get receipt handle from output response.
messages = queue.receive_messages()
print(messages)
I am receiving this type of response:
[sqs.Message(queue_url='someurl', receipt_handle='abcd')]
Now I want to extract only receipt handle from the response,
here what I have tried
message = messages[0]
receipt_handle = message['receipt_handle']
print(receipt_handle)
but I’m getting below error:
TypeError 'sqs.Message' object is not subscriptable
How can I get receipt_handle from response?
Answers:
The sqs.Message object uses attributes:
message.receipt_handle
See the documentation: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#message
Your attempt only works if you use the boto3-client, then the response is a dict. See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/sqs.html#message
