How to whitelist your website to be able to view files from AWS S3 bucket?

I'm trying to get a static website hosted in AWS S3 to be the only way to download/view files from another S3 bucket.

Is this possible?

I've implemented a solution with a custom nodejs backend to do the validation and send the file to the front-end but I think this would be more expensive in the long run.

You can use the AWS SDK for Node to create a S3 pre-signed URL that makes the item available at that link temporarily... few seconds, few minutes. Every time you do it, you get a new unique URL that expires.
