Error: Boto3 DynamoDB KeyError
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
A KeyError arises when the key you specify is not existing. It is a Python exception that indicates that it failed to retrieve the key you tried to access.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
As a solution, recheck and confirm whether you are using an accurate and already existing key. Try setting up a GSI (Global Secondary Index) and query the GSI to access the required record.
