**To add multiple items to a table** This example adds three new items to the *MusicCollection* table using a batch of three PutItem requests. Command:: aws dynamodb batch-write-item --request-items file://request-items.json The arguments for ``--request-items`` are stored in a JSON file, ``request-items.json``. Here are the contents of that file:: { "MusicCollection": [ { "PutRequest": { "Item": { "Artist": {"S": "No One You Know"}, "SongTitle": {"S": "Call Me Today"}, "AlbumTitle": {"S": "Somewhat Famous"} } } }, { "PutRequest": { "Item": { "Artist": {"S": "Acme Band"}, "SongTitle": {"S": "Happy Day"}, "AlbumTitle": {"S": "Songs About Life"} } } }, { "PutRequest": { "Item": { "Artist": {"S": "No One You Know"}, "SongTitle": {"S": "Scared of My Shadow"}, "AlbumTitle": {"S": "Blue Sky Blues"} } } } ] } Output:: { "UnprocessedItems": {} }
