Table of Contents
A low-level client representing Amazon DynamoDB Streams:
client = session.create_client('dynamodbstreams')
These are the available methods:
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Returns information about a stream, including the current status of the stream, its Amazon Resource Name (ARN), the composition of its shards, and its corresponding DynamoDB table.
Note
You can call DescribeStream at a maximum rate of 10 times per second.
Each shard in the stream has a SequenceNumberRange associated with it. If the SequenceNumberRange has a StartingSequenceNumber but no EndingSequenceNumber , then the shard is still open (able to receive more stream records). If both StartingSequenceNumber and EndingSequenceNumber are present, then that shard is closed and can no longer receive more data.

Response Structure
(dict) --
Represents the output of a DescribeStream operation.
StreamDescription (dict) --
A complete description of the stream, including its creation date and time, the DynamoDB table associated with the stream, the shard IDs within the stream, and the beginning and ending sequence numbers of stream records within the shards.
StreamArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the stream.
StreamLabel (string) --
A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.
Note that LatestStreamLabel is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:
StreamStatus (string) --
Indicates the current status of the stream:
StreamViewType (string) --
Indicates the format of the records within this stream:
CreationRequestDateTime (datetime) --
The date and time when the request to create this stream was issued.
TableName (string) --
The DynamoDB table with which the stream is associated.
KeySchema (list) --
The key attribute(s) of the stream's DynamoDB table.
(dict) --
Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.
A KeySchemaElement represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement (for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement for the sort key.
A KeySchemaElement must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.
AttributeName (string) --
The name of a key attribute.
KeyType (string) --
The role that this key attribute will assume:
Note
The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute . The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.
The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute . The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
Shards (list) --
The shards that comprise the stream.
(dict) --
A uniquely identified group of stream records within a stream.
ShardId (string) --
The system-generated identifier for this shard.
SequenceNumberRange (dict) --
The range of possible sequence numbers for the shard.
StartingSequenceNumber (string) --
The first sequence number for the stream records contained within a shard. String contains numeric characters only.
EndingSequenceNumber (string) --
The last sequence number for the stream records contained within a shard. String contains numeric characters only.
ParentShardId (string) --
The shard ID of the current shard's parent.
LastEvaluatedShardId (string) --
The shard ID of the item where the operation stopped, inclusive of the previous result set. Use this value to start a new operation, excluding this value in the new request.
If LastEvaluatedShardId is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is currently no more data to be retrieved.
If LastEvaluatedShardId is not empty, it does not necessarily mean that there is more data in the result set. The only way to know when you have reached the end of the result set is when LastEvaluatedShardId is empty.

Create a paginator for an operation.
Retrieves the stream records from a given shard.
Specify a shard iterator using the ShardIterator parameter. The shard iterator specifies the position in the shard from which you want to start reading stream records sequentially. If there are no stream records available in the portion of the shard that the iterator points to, GetRecords returns an empty list. Note that it might take multiple calls to get to a portion of the shard that contains stream records.
Note
GetRecords can retrieve a maximum of 1 MB of data or 1000 stream records, whichever comes first.

Client exceptions are available on a client instance via the exceptions property. For more detailed instructions and examples on the exact usage of client exceptions, see the error handling user guide.
The available client exceptions are:
The shard iterator has expired and can no longer be used to retrieve stream records. A shard iterator expires 15 minutes after it is retrieved using the GetShardIterator action.
Example
try:
...
except client.exceptions.ExpiredIteratorException as e:
print(e.response)
The parsed error response. All exceptions have a top level Error key that provides normalized access to common exception atrributes. All other keys are specific to this service or exception class.

The shard iterator has expired and can no longer be used to retrieve stream records. A shard iterator expires 15 minutes after it is retrieved using the GetShardIterator action.
message (string) --
The provided iterator exceeds the maximum age allowed.
Error (dict) -- Normalized access to common exception attributes.
An error occurred on the server side.
Example
try:

except client.exceptions.InternalServerError as e:
print(e.response)
The parsed error response. All exceptions have a top level Error key that provides normalized access to common exception atrributes. All other keys are specific to this service or exception class.

There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken.
Up to 50 simultaneous table operations are allowed per account. These operations include CreateTable , UpdateTable , DeleteTable ,``UpdateTimeToLive`` , RestoreTableFromBackup , and RestoreTableToPointInTime .
The only exception is when you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes. You can have up to 25 such requests running at a time; however, if the table or index specifications are complex, DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations.
There is a soft account quota of 256 tables.

In DynamoDB Streams, there is a 24 hour limit on data retention. Stream records whose age exceeds this limit are subject to removal (trimming) from the stream. You might receive a TrimmedDataAccessException if:
