You’ll need to use boto3 to connect to your S3 bucket.

import boto3
import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO # or BytesIO for binary files like Excel

# Set up AWS credentials (ideally, use IAM roles or environment variables)
aws_access_key = "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
aws_secret_key = "YOUR_SECRET_KEY"
bucket_name = "your-bucket-name"
file_key = "folder/yourfile.csv" # S3 object key (path)

# Connect to S3
s3 = boto3.client('s3', aws_access_key_id=aws_access_key,
aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_key)

# Get the file object
response = s3.get_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=file_key)
data = response['Body'].read().decode('utf-8') # for CSV

# Load to pandas
df = pd.read_csv(StringIO(data))
print(df.head())
