Error: missing required key 'key' in params dynamodb

What's Causing This Error

This error occurs when the Key attribute has not been provided for the DynamoDB operation. For example, the GetItem or Get (in document client) uses the Key attribute to get the item for the given partition key.

Solution - Here's How To Resolve It

To resolve the error, navigate to the code that executes the DynamoDB operation and ensure that you've provided the Key parameter as shown below.

const doFunStuff = async () => {
  const { Item } = await documentClient.get({
      Key: {
          pk: 'test'
      },
      TableName: 'test-table'
  }).promise();

  console.log('Item', Item);
};

doFunStuff();
