Why it doesn't work

event.get() may be the wrong type of call to be making to retrieve the data within event. As a result of this, the datatype would be collected and saved as NoneType .

Referencing here , you can retrieve event items by calling event['item'] and not event.get('item').

Here is an example:

def my_handler(event, context):
    message = 'Hello {} {}!'.format(event['first_name'], 
                                    event['last_name'])  
    return { 
        'message' : message
    }
