Formatting for AWS dynamodb writes.
posted by larcatSTAFFMOD on March 31, 2017 at 1:03 PM
Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what formatting they need to do to TMDB API responses to get them cleanly into an AWS dynamodb? Fwiw I'm using lambda, and I know the permissions are right -- wrote some dummy data to dynamodb using the same function.
I'm trying to use the TMDB 'id' as my key for the entry for movies.
Thanks!

FWIW, I solved this. You need to strip out empty strings from the JSON, which there are potentially lots of in a TMDB response. I used boltons iterutils...
