Overview
Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.
Service Description
Amazon Cognito Federated Identities is a web service that delivers scoped temporary credentials to mobile devices and other untrusted environments. It uniquely identifies a device and supplies the user with a consistent identity over the lifetime of an application.
Using Amazon Cognito Federated Identities, you can enable authentication with one or more third-party identity providers (Facebook, Google, or Login with Amazon) or an Amazon Cognito user pool, and you can also choose to support unauthenticated access from your app. Cognito delivers a unique identifier for each user and acts as an OpenID token provider trusted by AWS Security Token Service (STS) to access temporary, limited-privilege AWS credentials.
For a description of the authentication flow from the Amazon Cognito Developer Guide see Authentication Flow.
For more information see Amazon Cognito Federated Identities.
Sending a Request Using CognitoIdentity
var cognitoidentity = new AWS.CognitoIdentity();
cognitoidentity.createIdentityPool(params, function (err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
else console.log(data); // successful response
});
Locking the API Version
In order to ensure that the CognitoIdentity object uses this specific API, you can
construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:
var cognitoidentity = new AWS.CognitoIdentity({apiVersion: '2014-06-30'});
You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using
the cognitoidentity service identifier:
AWS.config.apiVersions = {
cognitoidentity: '2014-06-30',
// other service API versions
};
var cognitoidentity = new AWS.CognitoIdentity();

Method Details
createIdentityPool(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Creates a new identity pool. The identity pool is a store of user identity information that is specific to your AWS account. The keys for SupportedLoginProviders are as follows:
-
Facebook:
graph.facebook.com -
Google:
accounts.google.com -
Amazon:
www.amazon.com -
Twitter:
api.twitter.com -

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.
deleteIdentities(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes identities from an identity pool. You can specify a list of 1-60 identities that you want to delete.
You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.
deleteIdentityPool(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Deletes an identity pool. Once a pool is deleted, users will not be able to authenticate with the pool.
You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.
describeIdentity(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.
getCredentialsForIdentity(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Returns credentials for the provided identity ID. Any provided logins will be validated against supported login providers. If the token is for cognito-identity.amazonaws.com, it will be passed through to AWS Security Token Service with the appropriate role for the token.
This is a public API. You do not need any credentials to call this API.
getId(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Generates (or retrieves) a Cognito ID. Supplying multiple logins will create an implicit linked account.

Gets the roles for an identity pool.
You must use AWS Developer credentials to call this API.
getOpenIdToken(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Gets an OpenID token, using a known Cognito ID. This known Cognito ID is returned by GetId. You can optionally add additional logins for the identity. Supplying multiple logins creates an implicit link.
The OpenID token is valid for 10 minutes.
This is a public API. You do not need any credentials to call this API.
getOpenIdTokenForDeveloperIdentity(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request
Registers (or retrieves) a Cognito IdentityId and an OpenID Connect token for a user authenticated by your backend authentication process. Supplying multiple logins will create an implicit linked account. You can only specify one developer provider as part of the Logins map, which is linked to the identity pool. The developer provider is the "domain" by which Cognito will refer to your users.
You can use GetOpenIdTokenForDeveloperIdentity to create a new identity and to link new logins (that is, user credentials issued by a public provider or developer provider) to an existing identity. When you want to create a new identity, the IdentityId should be null. When you want to associate a new login with an existing authenticated/unauthenticated identity, you can do so by providing the existing IdentityId. This API will create the identity in the specified IdentityPoolId.
