receive_message(
queue_url: String,
*,
config_overrides: Optional[SQSClientConfig] = None,
attribute_names: Optional[AttributeNameList] = None,
message_system_attribute_names: Optional[MessageSystemAttributeList] = None,
message_attribute_names: Optional[MessageAttributeNameList] = None,
max_number_of_messages: Optional[NullableInteger] = None,
visibility_timeout: Optional[NullableInteger] = None,
wait_time_seconds: Optional[NullableInteger] = None,
receive_request_attempt_id: Optional[String] = None,
) -> ReceiveMessageResult
Retrieves one or more messages (up to 10), from the specified queue. Using the WaitTimeSeconds parameter enables long-poll support. For more information, see Amazon SQS Long Polling in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide.
Short poll is the default behavior where a weighted random set of machines is sampled on a ReceiveMessage call. Therefore, only the messages on the sampled machines are returned. If the number of messages in the queue is small (fewer than 1,000), you most likely get fewer messages than you requested per ReceiveMessage call. If the number of messages in the queue is extremely small, you might not receive any messages in a particular ReceiveMessage response. If this happens, repeat the request.
For each message returned, the response includes the following:
-
The message body.
-
An MD5 digest of the message body. For information about MD5, see RFC1321.
-
The
MessageIdyou received when you sent the message to the queue. -
The receipt handle.
-
The message attributes.
-
An MD5 digest of the message attributes.
The receipt handle is the identifier you must provide when deleting the message. For more information, see Queue and Message Identifiers in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide.
You can provide the VisibilityTimeout parameter in your request. The parameter is applied to the messages that Amazon SQS returns in the response. If you don't include the parameter, the overall visibility timeout for the queue is used for the returned messages. The default visibility timeout for a queue is 30 seconds.
In the future, new attributes might be added. If you write code that calls this action, we recommend that you structure your code so that it can handle new attributes gracefully.
Parameters:
-
queue_url(String) –The URL of the Amazon SQS queue from which messages are received.
Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.
-
attribute_names(Optional[AttributeNameList], default:None) –This parameter has been discontinued but will be supported for backward compatibility. To provide attribute names, you are encouraged to use
MessageSystemAttributeNames.A list of attributes that need to be returned along with each message. These attributes include:
-
All– Returns all values. -

The name is case-sensitive and must be unique among all attribute names for the message.
-
The name must not start with AWS-reserved prefixes such as
AWS.orAmazon.(or any casing variants). -
The name must not start or end with a period (
.), and it should not have periods in succession (..). -
The name can be up to 256 characters long.
When using
ReceiveMessage, you can send a list of attribute names to receive, or you can return all of the attributes by specifyingAllor.*in your request. You can also use all message attributes starting with a prefix, for examplebar.*. -
-
max_number_of_messages(Optional[NullableInteger], default:None) –The maximum number of messages to return. Amazon SQS never returns more messages than this value (however, fewer messages might be returned). Valid values: 1 to 10. Default: 1.
-
visibility_timeout(Optional[NullableInteger], default:None) –The duration (in seconds) that the received messages are hidden from subsequent retrieve requests after being retrieved by a
ReceiveMessagerequest. If not specified, the default visibility timeout for the queue is used, which is 30 seconds.Understanding
VisibilityTimeout:-
When a message is received from a queue, it becomes temporarily invisible to other consumers for the duration of the visibility timeout. This prevents multiple consumers from processing the same message simultaneously. If the message is not deleted or its visibility timeout is not extended before the timeout expires, it becomes visible again and can be retrieved by other consumers.
-
Setting an appropriate visibility timeout is crucial. If it's too short, the message might become visible again before processing is complete, leading to duplicate processing. If it's too long, it delays the reprocessing of messages if the initial processing fails.
-
You can adjust the visibility timeout using the
--visibility-timeoutparameter in thereceive-messagecommand to match the processing time required by your application. -
A message that isn't deleted or a message whose visibility isn't extended before the visibility timeout expires counts as a failed receive. Depending on the configuration of the queue, the message might be sent to the dead-letter queue.
For more information, see Visibility Timeout in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide.
-
-
wait_time_seconds(Optional[NullableInteger], default:None) –The duration (in seconds) for which the call waits for a message to arrive in the queue before returning. If a message is available, the call returns sooner than
WaitTimeSeconds. If no messages are available and the wait time expires, the call does not return a message list. If you are using the Java SDK, it returns aReceiveMessageResponseobject, which has a empty list instead of a Null object.To avoid HTTP errors, ensure that the HTTP response timeout for
ReceiveMessagerequests is longer than theWaitTimeSecondsparameter. For example, with the Java SDK, you can set HTTP transport settings using the NettyNioAsyncHttpClient for asynchronous clients, or the ApacheHttpClient for synchronous clients. -
receive_request_attempt_id(Optional[String], default:None) –This parameter applies only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues.
The token used for deduplication of
ReceiveMessagecalls. If a networking issue occurs after aReceiveMessageaction, and instead of a response you receive a generic error, it is possible to retry the same action with an identicalReceiveRequestAttemptIdto retrieve the same set of messages, even if their visibility timeout has not yet expired.-
You can use
ReceiveRequestAttemptIdonly for 5 minutes after aReceiveMessageaction. -
When you set
FifoQueue, a caller of theReceiveMessageaction can provide aReceiveRequestAttemptIdexplicitly. -
It is possible to retry the
ReceiveMessageaction with the sameReceiveRequestAttemptIdif none of the messages have been modified (deleted or had their visibility changes). -
During a visibility timeout, subsequent calls with the same
ReceiveRequestAttemptIdreturn the same messages and receipt handles. If a retry occurs within the deduplication interval, it resets the visibility timeout. For more information, see Visibility Timeout in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide.If a caller of the
ReceiveMessageaction still processes messages when the visibility timeout expires and messages become visible, another worker consuming from the same queue can receive the same messages and therefore process duplicates. Also, if a consumer whose message processing time is longer than the visibility timeout tries to delete the processed messages, the action fails with an error.To mitigate this effect, ensure that your application observes a safe threshold before the visibility timeout expires and extend the visibility timeout as necessary.
-
While messages with a particular
MessageGroupIdare invisible, no more messages belonging to the sameMessageGroupIdare returned until the visibility timeout expires. You can still receive messages with anotherMessageGroupIdfrom your FIFO queue as long as they are visible. -
If a caller of
ReceiveMessagecan't track theReceiveRequestAttemptId, no retries work until the original visibility timeout expires. As a result, delays might occur but the messages in the queue remain in a strict order.
The maximum length of
ReceiveRequestAttemptIdis 128 characters.ReceiveRequestAttemptIdcan contain alphanumeric characters (a-z,A-Z,0-9) and punctuation (!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{|}~).For best practices of using
ReceiveRequestAttemptId, see Using the ReceiveRequestAttemptId Request Parameter in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide. -
