Lambda function URL to get the table count

 I have a dynamoDB table called "sanskritOne" where the users upload words. I need a report of the count of total words collected. I have created a lambda function and I access the function URL to get the exact count.

import json, boto3
def lambda_handler(event, context):
    dynamodb_resource = boto3.resource('dynamodb', region_name='us-east-1')
    table = dynamodb_resource.Table('sanskritOne')
    total = 0
    response = table.scan()
    total += len(response['Items'])

    while 'LastEvaluatedKey' in response:
        response = table.scan(ExclusiveStartKey=response['LastEvaluatedKey'])
        total += len(response['Items'])
    print(f"Real-time item count: {total}")

    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': json.dumps(total)
    }
