💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'resource' instead of 'client' creates a higher-level object, not a client.

Using 'session' or 'connect' are not valid boto3 methods for this purpose.

The boto3.client('dynamodb') creates a low-level client to interact with DynamoDB.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'client' instead of 'resource' creates a low-level client.

Using 'session' or 'connect' are not valid boto3 methods here.

The boto3.resource('dynamodb') creates a higher-level DynamoDB resource object.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to get a DynamoDB table using the resource.

DynamoDB

table = resource.Table([1])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A'MyTable'

B123

CMyTable

Dtable_name

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not using quotes around the table name causes a NameError.

Using a number instead of a string is invalid.

The table name must be a string, so it needs quotes around it.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to put an item into a DynamoDB table using the client.

DynamoDB

response = client.[1](TableName=[2], Item={'id': {'S': '123'}})

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aput_item

Bget_item

CMyTable

D'MyTable'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'get_item' instead of 'put_item' does not insert data.

Not quoting the table name causes an error.

The put_item method inserts an item, and the table name must be a string with quotes.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to get an item from a DynamoDB table using the resource.

DynamoDB

response = table.[1](Key=[2])
item = response.get([3])

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aget_item

B{'id': '123'}

C'Item'

Dput_item

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'put_item' instead of 'get_item' is wrong here.

Passing the key as a string instead of a dictionary causes errors.

Accessing the response with the wrong key name.

The get_item method retrieves an item by key, the key is a dictionary, and the result is accessed with 'Item'.
