DynamoDBStreams.Client¶A low-level client representing Amazon DynamoDB Streams
Amazon DynamoDB Streams provides API actions for accessing streams and processing stream records. To learn more about application development with Streams, see Capturing Table Activity with DynamoDB Streams in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
client = session.create_client('dynamodbstreams')
These are the available methods:
can_paginate()close()describe_stream()get_paginator()get_records()get_shard_iterator()get_waiter()list_streams()can_paginate(operation_name)¶Check if an operation can be paginated.
create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the
operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the
create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the
call client.get_paginator("create_foo").True if the operation can be paginated,
False otherwise.close()¶Closes underlying endpoint connections.
describe_stream(**kwargs)¶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:
StreamLabelStreamStatus (string) --
Indicates the current status of the stream:
ENABLING - Streams is currently being enabled on the DynamoDB table.ENABLED - the stream is enabled.DISABLING - Streams is currently being disabled on the DynamoDB table.DISABLED - the stream is disabled.StreamViewType (string) --
Indicates the format of the records within this stream:
KEYS_ONLY - only the key attributes of items that were modified in the DynamoDB table.NEW_IMAGE - entire items from the table, as they appeared after they were modified.OLD_IMAGE - entire items from the table, as they appeared before they were modified.NEW_AND_OLD_IMAGES - both the new and the old images of the items from the table.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:
HASH - partition keyRANGE - sort keyNote
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.

get_paginator(operation_name)¶Create a paginator for an operation.
create_foo, and you'd normally invoke the
operation as client.create_foo(**kwargs), if the
create_foo operation can be paginated, you can use the
call client.get_paginator("create_foo").client.can_paginate method to
check if an operation is pageable.get_records(**kwargs)¶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.

get_shard_iterator(**kwargs)¶Returns a shard iterator. A shard iterator provides information about how to retrieve the stream records from within a shard. Use the shard iterator in a subsequent GetRecords request to read the stream records from the shard.
Note
A shard iterator expires 15 minutes after it is returned to the requester.

[REQUIRED]
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the stream.
[REQUIRED]
The identifier of the shard. The iterator will be returned for this shard ID.
[REQUIRED]
Determines how the shard iterator is used to start reading stream records from the shard:
AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER - Start reading exactly from the position denoted by a specific sequence number.AFTER_SEQUENCE_NUMBER - Start reading right after the position denoted by a specific sequence number.TRIM_HORIZON - Start reading at the last (untrimmed) stream record, which is the oldest record in the shard. 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.LATEST - Start reading just after the most recent stream record in the shard, so that you always read the most recent data in the shard.dict

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:
StreamLabelLastEvaluatedStreamArn (string) --
The stream ARN 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 LastEvaluatedStreamArn is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is no more data to be retrieved.
If LastEvaluatedStreamArn 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 LastEvaluatedStreamArn is empty.

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:
DynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.ExpiredIteratorExceptionDynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.InternalServerErrorDynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededExceptionDynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundExceptionDynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.TrimmedDataAccessExceptionDynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.ExpiredIteratorException¶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)
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.
Syntax

'message': 'string',
'Error': {
'Code': 'string',
'Message': 'string'
}
}
Structure
(dict) --
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.
DynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.InternalServerError¶An error occurred on the server side.
Example
try:

Error (dict) -- Normalized access to common exception attributes.
DynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.LimitExceededException¶There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken.
Up to 500 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 250 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 2,500 tables.

DynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.ResourceNotFoundException¶The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be ACTIVE .
Example
try:
...

Error (dict) -- Normalized access to common exception attributes.
DynamoDBStreams.Client.exceptions.TrimmedDataAccessException¶The operation attempted to read past the oldest stream record in a shard.
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:
GetRecords request, a stream record in the shard exceeds the 24 hour period and is trimmed. This causes the iterator to access a record that no longer exists.Example
