SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the creation, configuration, and management of AWS API Gateway for REST and HTTP APIs, enabling efficient API development and deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • API Creation: Set up new REST or HTTP APIs.
  • Integration: Connect APIs to backend services like Lambda, HTTP endpoints, or other AWS services.
  • Security: Implement authorization, API keys, and CORS.
  • Deployment: Manage API stages and deployments.
  • Use Case: You need to expose a Lambda function as a secure, scalable HTTP endpoint. This Skill can create the API Gateway, configure the Lambda integration, and deploy it to a production stage.

Quick Start

Use the api-gateway skill to create a new HTTP API that integrates with a Lambda function named 'my-lambda-function'.

Frequently Asked Questions about api-gateway

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I expose an AWS Lambda function as a REST API endpoint?▼

To expose an AWS Lambda function as a REST API, you can use AWS API Gateway to create a Lambda proxy integration. This configures the API Gateway to route HTTP requests directly to your Lambda function and return its response.

What is the best way to configure CORS for an HTTP API in AWS?▼

Configuring CORS for an HTTP API in AWS involves setting up CORS rules within API Gateway. This ensures your API responses include the necessary Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers to permit cross-origin browser requests securely.

Can I implement custom authorizers for REST APIs using API Gateway?▼

Yes, you can implement custom authorizers for REST APIs using API Gateway. This mechanism allows you to execute a Lambda function to validate tokens or headers, controlling access to your backend services before routing requests.

How do I manage API stages and deployments for my backend services?▼

Managing API stages and deployments is handled through AWS API Gateway lifecycle management. You can deploy API configurations to specific stages like production or testing, ensuring version control and stable endpoint URLs for your backend services.

Does API Gateway support API keys for securing HTTP endpoints?▼

Yes, API Gateway supports API keys for securing HTTP endpoints. You can generate and attach API keys to your usage plans, enforcing rate limiting and controlling access to your deployed REST and HTTP APIs.
