# AWS Kinesis Firehose

> Stream near real-time data into your Mezmo Pipeline from AWS Kinesis Firehose by configuring the HTTP endpoint and API key on your delivery stream.

## Description

The AWS Kinesis Firehose Pipeline Source enables streaming of near real-time data to your Mezmo Pipeline.

## Configuration

For convenience, each AWS Kinesis Firehose `records` item will be unrolled into its own event within this pipeline. If you specify that data as being JSON, it will be automatically parsed for you.

For Kinesis Data Firehose to successfully deliver data to custom HTTP endpoints, these endpoints must accept requests and send responses using certain Kinesis Data Firehose request and response formats. These formats are documented in the [AWS Kinesis Firehose Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/dev/httpdeliveryrequestresponse.html). To use Firehose as a source for Mezmo Pipelines, you must add your API key into the configuration of the Firehose Delivery Stream.

1. In your AWS Kinesis Firehose account settings, under the **HTTP endpoint URL**, enter the endpoint listed in your Kinesis Firehose source.
2. Under the **Access key -** ***optional*** section, choose **Update current access key** and enter the API key.
3. Click **Save Changes.**
