I've managed to setup an API Gateway secured with Cognito. The unauthenticated user role has an access policy that should grant it access to the gateway. I've also managed to use boto3 to retrieve an identity ID from the pool and obtain the associated open ID token, as well as the associated secret and access keys.
How do I now make a call to the gateway using these credentials? Is there a way to use boto3 to handle signing a request to a particular method on the API?

Next code is working really well.
Hope to help:
from pprint import pprint
import requests
from pycognito import Cognito
USER_POOL_ID = 'eu-central-1_XXXXXXXXXXX'
CLIENT_ID = 'XXXXXXXXXXXX'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'XXXXXXXXXXX'
u = Cognito(USER_POOL_ID,CLIENT_ID, client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET, username='cognito user name')
u.authenticate('cognito user password')
id_token = u.id_token
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + id_token}
api_url = 'https://XXXXXXXXXXX.execute-api.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/stage/XXXXXXXXXXX'
r = requests.get(api_url, headers=headers)
pprint(dict(r.headers))
print(r.status_code)
print(r.text)

identity_pool_id how to get
If you have not federated pool which could give you "identity_pool_id" , execution code below will give you identity_pool_id
import boto3
boto3.setup_default_session(
aws_access_key_id='AKIAJ7TBC72BPWNEWIDQ',
aws_secret_access_key='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',
region_name='ap-southeast-2')
client = boto3.client('cognito-identity')
response = client.list_identity_pools(MaxResults=3,)
print("IdentityPoolId-- ", response)

My code is based largely on the questioner's own answer, but I've tried to make it clearer where all the values come from.
import boto3
import requests
from requests_aws4auth import AWS4Auth
# Use 'pip install boto3 requests requests-aws4auth' to get these
region_name = 'ap-southeast-2' # or 'us-west-1' or whatever
# 12 decimal digits from your AWS login page
account_id = '123456789012'
# I've only found this in the sample code for other languages, e.g. JavaScript
# Services→Cognito→Manage Federated Identities→(your-id-pool)→Sample code
identity_pool_id = 'ap-southeast-2:fedcba98-7654-3210-1234-56789abcdef0'
# Create a new identity
boto3.setup_default_session(region_name = region_name)
identity_client = boto3.client('cognito-identity', region_name=region_name)
identity_response = identity_client.get_id(AccountId=account_id,
IdentityPoolId=identity_pool_id)
# We normally wouldn't log this, but to illustrate:
identity_id = identity_response['IdentityId']
print ('identity_id:', identity_id) # good idea not to log this
# Get the identity's credentials
credentials_response = identity_client.get_credentials_for_identity(IdentityId=identity_id)
credentials = credentials_response['Credentials']
access_key_id = credentials['AccessKeyId']
secret_key = credentials['SecretKey']
service = 'execute-api'
session_token = credentials['SessionToken']
expiration = credentials['Expiration']
# Again, we normally wouldn't log this:
print ('access_key_id', access_key_id)
print ('secret_key', secret_key)
print ('session_token', session_token)
print ('expiration', expiration)
# The access_key_id will look something like 'AKIABC123DE456FG7890', similar to
# Services→IAM→Users→(AWS_USER_NAME)→Security credentials→Access key ID
# Get the authorisation object
auth = AWS4Auth(access_key_id, secret_key, region_name, service,
session_token=session_token)
current_app['auth'] = auth
# Just an illustration again:
print ('auth: %(service)s(%(date)s) %(region)s:%(access_id)s' % auth.__dict__)
# We'll use that object to send a request to our app. This app doesn't
# exist in real life, though, so you'll need to edit the following quite
# heavily:
# Services→Cognito→Manage your User Pools→(your-user-pool)→Apps→App name
app_name = 'my-app-name'
api_path = 'dev/helloworld'
method = 'GET'
headers = {}
body = ''
url = 'https://%s.%s.%s.amazonaws.com/%s' % (app_name, service, region_name,
api_path)
response = requests.request(method, url, auth=auth, data=body, headers=headers)

The following code (and the requests-aws4auth library) did the job:
import boto3
import datetime
import json
from requests_aws4auth import AWS4Auth
import requests
boto3.setup_default_session(region_name='us-east-1')
identity = boto3.client('cognito-identity', region_name='us-east-1')
account_id='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
identity_pool_id='us-east-1:YYY-YYYY-YYY-YY'
api_prefix='ZZZZZZZZZ'
response = identity.get_id(AccountId=account_id, IdentityPoolId=identity_pool_id)
identity_id = response['IdentityId']
print ("Identity ID: %s"%identity_id)
resp = identity.get_credentials_for_identity(IdentityId=identity_id)
secretKey = resp['Credentials']['SecretKey']
accessKey = resp['Credentials']['AccessKeyId']
sessionToken = resp['Credentials']['SessionToken']
expiration = resp['Credentials']['Expiration']
print ("\nSecret Key: %s"%(secretKey))
print ("\nAccess Key %s"%(accessKey))
print ("\nSession Token: %s"%(sessionToken))
print ("\nExpiration: %s"%(expiration))
method = 'GET'
headers = {}
body = ''
service = 'execute-api'
url = 'https://%s.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/helloworld' % api_prefix
region = 'us-east-1'
auth = AWS4Auth(accessKey, secretKey, region, service, session_token=sessionToken)
response = requests.request(method, url, auth=auth, data=body, headers=headers)
print(response.text)

Here is an example from our public docs: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/sigv4-signed-request-examples.html
Cognito creds are no different than any other temporary creds, and the signing process is also the same. If you want to move back to Python the example above should be good, or I would guess that there are third-party libraries out there to do the signature for you.
