AWS Lambda scanning a dynamoDB table

Im trying to scan a dynamodb table for all entries with prices between 1 and 13,

    var AWS = require('aws-sdk');
var db = new AWS.DynamoDB();


exports.handler = function(event, context) {

  var params = {
    TableName: "hexagon2",
    ProjectionExpression: "price", 
    FilterExpression: "price between :lower and :higher",
    ExpressionAttributeValues: {
     ":lower": {"N": "1"},
     ":higher": {"N": "13"}
    }
};

  db.scan(params, function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
      console.log(err); // an error occurred
      } 
    else {
      console.log(data.Item); // successful response
      context.done(null,{"Result": "Operation succeeded."});
      }
  });
};

But I always get the following error, when I test it. I definatly have 'price' as a number attribute in my table and IAM is set up too.

You are trying to reference data.Item which is undefined. Scan operations return a list, not a single item. That list would be referenced via data.Items

When in doubt, read the documentation. Or you could just print out the entire data response to see the exact format of the response coming back.
