# ReqIMDSv2
Provides a way to automatically authenticate Req requests with the Instance Metadata Service on
an Amazon AWS EC2 instance.
It does this by making a request to IMDSv2 to get a token before the main request, then attaches that token
to the request.
## Features
- Integrates easily with [Req](https://github.com/wojtekmach/req)
- Handles the extra step of fetching and using a metadata token from IMDSv2
- Supports extracting the metadata token for re-use on subsequent requests.
- Can enable `:fallback_to_imdsv1` if desired, in the case that IMDSv2 fails. (highly unlikely)
## Installation
The package can be installed by adding `req_imdsv2` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:req, "~> 0.4.0"},
{:req_imdsv2, "~> 0.1.0"}
]
end
```
