Answer

Is this what you are looking for - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObject.html

If you scroll to the bottom, it shows the SDKs in different programming languages. You will have to search for the GetObject API for the programming language of your choice.

Answer

If you are doing web applications (or mobile applications with React etc.). then you could just refer to the image on S3 bucket. To add security you could [generate signed S3 URLs ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/ShareObjectPreSignedURL.html) for the images that you would programatically retrieve. You can se the maximum age for the URL so the app could only load the image for next 5 minutes for example.
