Usage

rekognition(
  config = list(),
  credentials = list(),
  endpoint = NULL,
  region = NULL
)

Arguments

`config`	Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region. credentials: creds: access_key_id: AWS access key ID secret_access_key: AWS secret access key session_token: AWS temporary session token profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used. anonymous: Set anonymous credentials. endpoint: The complete URL to use for the constructed client. region: The AWS Region used in instantiating the client. close_connection: Immediately close all HTTP connections. timeout: The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds. s3_force_path_style: Set this to `true` to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. `⁠http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY⁠`. sts_regional_endpoint: Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html use_dual_stack: Set this to `true` to use the dualstack (IPv4 and IPv6) endpoint for a service, where available, falling back to the regular endpoint when it isn't. Defaults to the `AWS_USE_DUALSTACK_ENDPOINT` environment variable when unset.
`credentials`	Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter creds: access_key_id: AWS access key ID secret_access_key: AWS secret access key session_token: AWS temporary session token profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used. anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
`endpoint`	Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.
`region`	Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.

Value

A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned to the client. The available operations are listed in the Operations section.
