How do I receive messages from an SQS queue?

Answer 1

Here's an example of receiving messages from an SQS queue:

import boto3

# Create an SQS client
sqs = boto3.client('sqs', region_name='your-region')

# Receive messages from the SQS queue
queue_url = 'your-queue-url'
response = sqs.receive_message(
    QueueUrl=queue_url,
    MaxNumberOfMessages=1
)

# Process received messages
for message in response.get('Messages', []):
    print("Received message:", message['Body'])
    
    # Delete the message from the queue
    sqs.delete_message(
        QueueUrl=queue_url,
        ReceiptHandle=message['ReceiptHandle']
    )
 

Remember to replace 'your-region' with your AWS region and 'your-queue-url' with the URL of your SQS queue.
