Textract AnalyseId not working / available on Lambda

Question

Is it possible that the new Textract AnalyzeID function is not available in Lambda yet? In both Lambda and SAM I get this error:

```
Textract.analyzeID is not a function
```

```
const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const Textract = new AWS.Textract();

exports.handler = async (event, context) => {
      Textract.analyzeID(params, function(err, data) {
        ...
      });
};
```

When I run the similar code in an empty project locally it works, making me wondering if its something to do with the Lambda/SAM container?

Accepted Answer

I suspect that you are using an older version of the AWS SDK that doesn't have the function you're trying to use. Make sure your Lambda function is packaged with an appropriate AWS SDK version. You can find some instructions here: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/lambda-layer-aws-sdk-latest-version/
