how to put an Item in aws DynamoDb using aws Lambda with python

Question

Using python in AWS Lambda, how do I put/get an item from a DynamoDB table?

In Node.js this would be something like:

dynamodb.getItem({
    \"Key\": {\"f         


        

Answer 1

Using latest AWS SDK

import boto3

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    # this will create dynamodb resource object and
    # here dynamodb is resource name
    client = boto3.resource('dynamodb')

    # this will search for dynamoDB table 
    # your table name may be different
    table = client.Table("dynamoDB")
    print(table.table_status)

    table.put_item(Item= {'id': '34','company':  'microsoft'})

If your are using AWS you can use this code sample, only you have to give permissions to this lambda function, you can find details in link
