# AWS clients for Erlang
[](https://github.com/aws-beam/aws-erlang/actions)
Here is an example:
```erlang
Client = aws_client:make_client(<<"access-key-id">>, <<"secret-access-key">>, <<"us-east-1">>),
{ok, Output, _Response} = aws_kinesis:list_streams(Client, #{}, []),
io:format("~p~n", [Output]).
```
This outputs:
```erlang
#{<<"HasMoreStreams">> => false,<<"StreamNames">> => []}
```
* Code is generated using the JSON descriptions of AWS services used to build
the [AWS SDK for the Go programming language](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-sdk-go/tree/master/apis) library by [aws-codegen](https://github.com/aws-beam/aws-codegen).
* Code is readable with fairly complete documentation.
* Support for AWS services that use the `json` protocols.
* Request data is encoded from maps to JSON and response data is decoded from
JSON to maps. The data you work with is almost exactly what's expected by
remote APIs and what's returned by them.
* The `hackney` response received for each request is returned alongside the
response data.
