Using Athena's APIs

As an introduction to Athena's APIs, we will demonstrate how to run basic geospatial queries with Athena using the AWS CLI. The AWS CLI provides a simple wrapper over each of the APIs supported by Athena. This allows us to get familiar with the APIs without having to make any choices about programming language. The APIs we use in this section are available in all supported languages such as Java, Golang, and Rust. Now that we've got a better understanding of the basic Athena concepts, we'll also use a slightly more advanced example dataset that will give us a chance to experiment with Athena's geospatial capabilities.

Use Athena engine version 2 or later

In case you skipped the instructions in the previous section pertaining to the creation of a new workgroup with Athena engine version 2, please take a moment to either switch to that workgroup now or change your current workgroup to explicitly use Athena engine version 2 or later...

We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
