Invalid type for AWS DynamoDB put-item via CLI (unicode v. dict)

Question

I would like to add an item to my DynamoDB table via command line, but I\'ve run into a type error.

The data that I\'m trying to add is very simple:

{
           


        

Answer 1

you need to add the type information (I assume String here)

aws dynamodb put-item --table-name my_table --item '{ "id": {"S": "1" } }'
