@DaniyalDhz - I am using layer to add dependency to my lambda function and its working correctly. This is how i am uploading my dependency to my lambda function:

pip install requests --target python

zip -r dependency.zip python

Then create a layer using this zip file and use this layer in your lambda function. In order for the dependency to work you have to put Python dependencies into either a python directory or into python/lib/python<3.x>/site-packages.

Let us know if you are still facing any issues.

Hi @DaniyalDhz,

Requests was removed from botocore a little over a year ago in version Botocore 1.13.0. We released a blog post on October 1, 2019 which has full details on the change. Going forward, you’ll want to install requests separately with pip install requests.
