Pulling Findings from AWS GuardDuty

Question

I am trying to pull data from AWS GuardDuty from an AWS account. I am running into to issues where the account will connect but not gather any findings and post to my threatdetection.html page. I have the access_key, secret_key, and DETECTOR_ID all previously defined earlier in the file.

@app.route('/threatdetection')
@login_required
def guardduty_alerts():
   client = boto3.client('guardduty', aws_access_key_id=session['access_key'], 
   aws_secret_access_key=session['secret_key'], region_name='us-east-1'

    try:
       list_findings_response = client.list_findings(DetectorId=DETECTOR_ID)
       finding_ids = list_findings_response['FindingIds']

       if finding_ids:
          findings_response = client.get_findings(DetectorId=DETECTOR_ID, 
          FindingIds=finding_ids)
          findings = findings_response['Findings']
       else:
          findings = []

       return render_template('threatdetection.html', findings=findings)

    except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as e:
       print("Error getting findings:", e)
       return render_template('threatdetection.html', findings=[])
