BadRequestException

[sajattack]

I'm getting a BadRequestException using code I've adapted from the sample. I've verified that the file exists and the bucket permissions grant access to the Amazon Transcribe service. It is not a public file however. I am able to start a manual transcription job with the same URL but not with the SDK.

import boto3

with open('urls.txt', 'r') as infile:
    for line in infile:
        url = infile.readline()
        filename = url.split('/')[-1]
        transcribe = boto3.client('transcribe', region_name='us-east-1')
        job_name = filename.split('.')[0]
        job_uri = "https://s3.amazonaws.com/geeknights-test/" + filename
        print(job_uri)
        transcribe.start_transcription_job(
            TranscriptionJobName=job_name,
            Media={'MediaFileUri': job_uri},
            MediaFormat='mp3',
            LanguageCode='en-US'
            )
        status = transcribe.get_transcription_job(TranscriptionJobName=job_name)
        print(status)

I am terribly sorry. I gave you the wrong link to the forum for Transcribe. Try this one instead: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/forum.jspa?forumID=278
