Calling Lambda event by event.get()?

Question

I came across this really good repo for my use case. https://github.com/Serber92/loadboard.

Here, he is using

carrierEmail = event.get('carrierEmail', '')

for the most part of his code. I am wondering how is he sending data to the lambda function.

I am aware of sending the information through 'api body' and 'api queryStringParameters' and to access this information we use something similar to this:

carrierEmail = event[queryStringParameters]['carrierEmail'].

The question here is how is he sending the data to lambda function?

In your question, you mentioned queryStringParameters? This is for api gateway. So you want to know how to call it from api gateway? — Marcin

The event for createBroker.py will be of the form of (partial example):

{
  "email": "some-email",
  "password": "some-password",
  "websiteURL": "some-websiteURL"
}

In terms of API gateway, such event structure is not possible with Lambda proxy integrations, which requires different format of the event object.

However, it would be possible with Lambda custom integrations. With the custom integration you can construct event object passed to the lambda function of any form, including the one used in createBroker.py.
