AWS provides AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) as a web service that enables you to request temporary, limited-privilege credentials for AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) users or for users you authenticate (federated users) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/welcome.html
