zak_··on A web database of all AWS IAM actions
Yeah I want to add some last updated timestamp to the bottom of the site, I'll probably do that in the next day or so.

The data is updated on a weekly cron. I run a small python script that utilizes Parliament's code for downloading the docs pages and parsing them into json. From there, what I did was create a SQL schema with SQLAlchemy and load the json data from the Parliament script.

I open sourced the code for anyone curious, it's nothing fancy. https://github.com/zscholl/aws-iam-db

I'd seen the cloudonaut site but I kept going back to the AWS docs to answer questions like: "what are all the s3 write actions?" or "what am I actually allowing with S3:get*?"

I created this to help solve that problem without googling "aws iam s3 actions" and scrolling down through AWS' pages.

Hey there, I'm the creator and you're pretty much spot on.

It's using react-table to drive the table functionality but under the hood it's just a SQlite database hooked up with sql.js-httpvfs.
