amazon s3 - Error while reading file with special characters from S3

Question

While reading file name from the S3 Bucket we are getting below exception. The filename format has extra special characters.

Eg: input%2B0%2B0000000036.json , partition%3D0/input%2B0%2B0000000037.json

Exception: "message": "An exception of type Exception occurred. Arguments:('Failure while get file from S3 - An error occurred (NoSuchKey) when calling the GetObject operation: The specified key does not exist.',)",

Please help us in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You have to decode your url since it contains special characters.

from urllib.parse import unquote_plus
result = unquote_plus('input%2B0%2B0000000036.json')
print(result)
