Unable to fetch delete marker version IDs for s3 objects through Boto3 Client/Service Resource.

Question

When I am trying to fetch the s3 object attributes, I am getting these errors:

Error Message: The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method.

OR

Error Message: The x-amz-object-attributes header specifying the attributes to be retrieved is either missing or empty

1. **Credentials:** Make sure you're using the correct AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. If you have multiple AWS accounts or users, it can be easy to mix up keys.
2. **Region:** Ensure that your request is being sent to the correct AWS region. The region in your Boto3 client creation should match the region where the bucket is located.
3. **Time Sync:** Make sure your system time is accurate. AWS request signing is time sensitive and if your system clock is skewed, it could lead to errors.

As for the error "The x-amz-object-attributes header specifying the attributes to be retrieved is either missing or empty", it suggests that the request made to S3 is missing some required information

and please follow this article https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObjectAttributes.html

and why and how you can set **x-amz-object-attributes**
