1What do you mean? You can use AWS CLI, SDK, API. In CLI for instance, you use get-credential-report.Marcin– Marcin2020-05-04 06:03:09 +00:00Commented May 4, 2020 at 6:03

Check boto3, which is the aws SDK for Python.
To install it, run in your terminal:
pip install boto3
In order to get the credentials report, try:
import boto3
client = boto3.client(service_name='iam', aws_access_key_id="your_access_key",
aws_secret_access_key="your_secret_key")
print(client.get_credential_report())
If you haven't created the report before, generate it first:
client.generate_credential_report()

Thanks@Gabip. But this error pops up when I execute : "botocore.errorfactory.CredentialReportNotPresentException: An error occurred (ReportNotPresent) when calling the GetCredentialReport operation: Unknown "

This is not an error in your code but it indicates that the credentials error doesn't exist and if you haven't done it so far, you should generate the report first. Read here for more details: docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/APIReference/…

@Navi I've added it to my post

@Navi what do you mean by json format? write it to json file?
Gabio
So just
import json and do: print(json.dumps(client.get_credential_report())) |
You can use get_credential_report() API in boto3 for credential repot
get_credential_report() Retrieves a credential report for the AWS account. For more information about the credential report, see Getting Credential Reports in the IAM User Guide .
See also: AWS API Documentation
Request Syntax
response = client.get_credential_report()
Response Structure
(dict) -- Contains the response to a successful GetCredentialReport request.
Content (bytes) -- Contains the credential report. The report is Base64-encoded.
ReportFormat (string) -- The format (MIME type) of the credential report.
GeneratedTime (datetime) -- The date and time when the credential report was created, in ISO 8601 date-time format.
Try this code
import os
import boto3
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = os.getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID')
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.getenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')
client = boto3.client( 'iam', aws_access_key_id=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, aws_secret_access_key=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY )
response = client.generate_credential_report()
