boto3: where is the Payload attribute of the object returned by `Lambda.Client.invoke` documented?

Question

I'd like to read the documentation (if it exists) describing the attributes and methods of the Payload attribute in the object returned by Lambda.Client.invoke` in the boto3 library . I haven't been able to find it by searching and browsing the boto3 docs. Please post a link to the official docs, not an explanation.

Given the state of the boto3 docs, is it preferable to just use API calls directly?

Hello.

"'Payload'" included in the response is called "StreamingBody", so you need to use "read()" to check the contents.  
https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/lambda/client/invoke.html

"StreamingBody" is described in the following document.  
https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/response.html

For example, if you check the response without using "read()", it will look like the following.　　
```
import boto3

client = boto3.client('lambda')

response = client.invoke(
        FunctionName='kobayashi-test')
print(response["Payload"])
```

```

You can check the return of the Lambda you called by using "read()".  
```
import boto3

client = boto3.client('lambda')

response = client.invoke(
        FunctionName='kobayashi-test')
print(response["Payload"].read())
```

```
b'{"statusCode": 200, "body": "\"Hello from Lambda!\""}'
```
