At work our needs are simple, we manually run the aws cli to sync files up to S3 where there's a 1 day lifecycle policy to move them to Glacier. We don't use the API for restores, we do those through the web console and check back in a few hours to see if the files are downloadable.

I think through the API you do not leave the connection open, you check with whatever frequency you want and when it's ready, the response will include the temporary location on S3 for the file.
