Not able to get item from AWS dynamodb using python

0 votes

my python code

import boto3 
from boto3 import dynamodb 

from boto3.session import Session

from boto3.dynamodb.conditions import Key, Attr


dynamodb_session = Session(aws_access_key_id='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
          aws_secret_access_key='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
          region_name='us-east-1')

dynamodb = dynamodb_session.resource('dynamodb')

table=dynamodb.Table('Garbage_collector_table')

my_topic = "$aws/things/garbage_collector_thing/shadow/update/accepted"

response = table.get_item(TableName='Garbage_collector_table', Key={'topic':my_topic})

for res in response: 
    print "result ",res

I am getting the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "get-data-dynamodb-boto3.py", line 19, in <module>
    response = table.get_item(TableName='Garbage_collector_table', Key={'topic': my_topic})   File

You are mixing resource and client objects which have different methods.

The correct syntax for the resource is 

response= get_item(Key={'topic':my_topic})

but personally I recommend using boto client 

client= boto3.client('dynamodb')
response=client.get_item(TableName='garbage_collector_table', Key= {'topic':'S': str(my_topic)}})
