get request failing in boto3 python 3.8 lambda

Question

I am trying to write a lambda function in 3.8 version but I am getting error while doing a get requests

[ERROR] AttributeError: module 'botocore.vendored.requests' has no attribute 'get' Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/var/task/lambda_function.py"

import json
from botocore.vendored import requests

def lambda_handler(event, context):

    request = event['Records'][0]['cf']['request']
    print (request)
    print(request['headers'])
    token = request['headers']['cookie'][0]['value'].partition("=")[2]
    print (token)
    print(type(request['uri']))
    consumer_id = request['uri'].rpartition('/')[-1]
    print (consumer_id)

    #Take the token and send it somewhere
    token_response = requests.get(url = 'https://url/api/files/'  + consumer_id, params = {'token': token})
    print (token_response)

    return request

I tried following this blog https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/upcoming-changes-to-the-python-sdk-in-aws-lambda/

but not able to identify which layer to add. Could anyone please help

According to the link you provided and assuming that request was correctly installed you should be using

import requests

instead of

from botocore.vendored import requests
