To select data from the series table by the series_id key:

AWS CLI

Run the command by replacing https://your-database-endpoint with the previously prepared Document API endpoint of your DB:

Warning

To work with the AWS CLI from Windows, we recommend using the WSL.

endpoint="https://your-database-endpoint"
aws dynamodb query \
    --table-name series \
    --key-condition-expression "series_id = :name" \
    --expression-attribute-values '{":name":{"N":"2"}}' \
    --endpoint $endpoint

Result:

{
    "Items": [
        {
            "series_id": {
                "N": ".2e1"
