Tutorial: Create a REST API using AWS SDKs or AWS CLI

To set up an edge-optimized PetStore API using AWS SDKs

1. Use the following example to create a RestApi entity:

   JavaScript v3

   import {APIGatewayClient, CreateRestApiCommand} from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
   (async function (){
   const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
   const command = new CreateRestApiCommand({
       name: "Simple PetStore (JavaScript v3 SDK)",
       description: "Demo API created using the AWS SDK for JavaScript v3",
       version: "0.00.001",
       binaryMediaTypes: [
       '*']
   });
   try {
       const results = await apig.send(command)
       console.log(results)
   } catch (err) {
       console.error(Couldn't create API:\n", err)
   }
   })();

   A successful call returns your API ID and the root resource ID of your API in an output like the following:

   {
     id: 'abc1234',
     name: 'PetStore (JavaScript v3 SDK)',
     description: 'Demo API created using the AWS SDK for node.js',
     createdDate: 2017-09-05T19:32:35.000Z,
     version: '0.00.001',
     rootResourceId: 'efg567'
     binaryMediaTypes: [ '*' ] 
   }

   Python

   import botocore
   import boto3
   import logging
   
   logger = logging.getLogger()
   apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
   
   try:
       result = apig.create_rest_api(
           name='Simple PetStore (Python SDK)',
           description='Demo API created using the AWS SDK for Python',
           version='0.00.001',
           binaryMediaTypes=[
               '*'
           ]
       )
   except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
       logger.exception("Couldn't create REST API %s.", error)
       raise
   attribute=["id","name","description","createdDate","version","binaryMediaTypes","apiKeySource","endpointConfiguration","disableExecuteApiEndpoint","rootResourceId"]
   filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
   print(filtered_result)

   A successful call returns your API ID and the root resource ID of your API in an output like the following:

   {'id': 'abc1234', 'name': 'Simple PetStore (Python SDK)', 'description': 'Demo API created using the AWS SDK for Python', 'createdDate': datetime.datetime(2024, 4, 3, 14, 31, 39, tzinfo=tzlocal()), 'version': '0.00.001', 'binaryMediaTypes': ['*'], 'apiKeySource': 'HEADER', 'endpointConfiguration': {'types': ['EDGE']}, 'disableExecuteApiEndpoint': False, 'rootResourceId': 'efg567'}

   AWS CLI

   aws apigateway create-rest-api --name 'Simple PetStore (AWS CLI)' --region us-west-2

   The following is the output of this command:

   {
       "id": "abcd1234", 
       "name": "Simple PetStore (AWS CLI)", 
       "createdDate": "2022-12-15T08:07:04-08:00",
       "apiKeySource": "HEADER",
       "endpointConfiguration": {
           "types": [
               "EDGE"
           ]
       },
       "disableExecuteApiEndpoint": false,
       "rootResourceId": "efg567"
   }

   The API you created has an API ID of abcd1234 and a root resource ID of efg567. You use these values in the set up of your API.

2. Next, you append a child resource under the root, you specify the RootResourceId as the parentId property value. Use the following example to creates a /pets resource for your API:

   JavaScript v3

   import {APIGatewayClient,  CreateResourceCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
   (async function (){
   const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
   const command = new CreateResourceCommand({
       restApiId: 'abcd1234',
       parentId: 'efg567',
       pathPart: 'pets'
   });
   try {
       const results = await apig.send(command)
       console.log(results)
   } catch (err) {
       console.log("The '/pets' resource setup failed:\n", err)
   }
   })();

   A successful call returns information about your resource in an output like the following:

   {
       "path": "/pets", 
       "pathPart": "pets", 
       "id": "aaa111", 
       "parentId": "efg567'"
   }

   Python

   import botocore
   import boto3
   import logging
   
   logger = logging.getLogger()
   apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
   
   try:
       result = apig.create_resource(
           restApiId='abcd1234',
           parentId='efg567',
           pathPart='pets'
       )
   except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
       logger.exception("The '/pets' resource setup failed: %s.", error)
       raise
   attribute=["id","parentId", "pathPart", "path",]
   filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
   print(filtered_result)

   A successful call returns information about your resource in an output like the following:

   {'id': 'aaa111', 'parentId': 'efg567', 'pathPart': 'pets', 'path': '/pets'}

   AWS CLI

   aws apigateway create-resource --rest-api-id abcd1234 \
     --region us-west-2 \
     --parent-id efg567 \
     --path-part pets

   The following is the output of this command:

   {
       "id": "aaa111", 
       "parentId": "efg567",
       "pathPart": "pets",
       "path": "/pets"
   }

   The /pets resource you created has a resource ID of aaa111. You use this value in the set up of your API.

3. Next, you append a child resource under the /pets resource. This resource, /{petId} has a path parameter for the {petId}.To make a path part a path parameter, enclose it in a pair of curly brackets, { }. Use the following example to creates a /pets/{petId} resource for your API:

   JavaScript v3

   import {APIGatewayClient,  CreateResourceCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
   (async function (){
   const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
   const command = new CreateResourceCommand({
       restApiId: 'abcd1234',
       parentId: 'aaa111',
       pathPart: '{petId}'
   });
   try {
       const results = await apig.send(command)
       console.log(results)
   } catch (err) {
       console.log("The '/pets/{petId}' resource setup failed:\n", err)
   }
   })();

   A successful call returns information about your resource in an output like the following:

   {
       "path": "/pets/{petId}", 
       "pathPart": "{petId}", 
       "id": "bbb222", 
       "parentId": "aaa111'"
   }

   Python

   import botocore
   import boto3
   import logging
   
   logger = logging.getLogger()
   apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
   
   try:
       result = apig.create_resource(
           restApiId='abcd1234',
           parentId='aaa111',
           pathPart='{petId}'
       )
   except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
       logger.exception("The '/pets/{petId}' resource setup failed: %s.", error)
       raise
   attribute=["id","parentId", "pathPart", "path",]
   filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
   print(filtered_result)

   A successful call returns information about your resource in an output like the following:

   {'id': 'bbb222', 'parentId': 'aaa111', 'pathPart': '{petId}', 'path': '/pets/{petId}'}

   AWS CLI

   aws apigateway create-resource --rest-api-id abcd1234 \
     --region us-west-2 \
     --parent-id aaa111 \
     --path-part '{petId}'

   If successful, this command returns the following response:

   {
       "id": "bbb222",
       "parentId": "aaa111",
       "path": "/pets/{petId}", 
       "pathPart": "{petId}"
   }

   The /pets/{petId} resource you created has a resource ID of bbb222. You use this value in the set up of your API.

4. In the following two steps, you add HTTP methods to your resources. In this tutorial, you set the methods to have open access by setting the authorization-type to set to NONE. To permit only authenticated users to call the method, you can use IAM roles and policies, a Lambda authorizer (formerly known as a custom authorizer), or an Amazon Cognito user pool. For more information, see Control and manage access to REST APIs in API Gateway.

   The following example adds the GET HTTP method on the /pets resource:

   JavaScript v3

   import {APIGatewayClient,  PutMethodCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
   (async function (){
   const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
   const command = new PutMethodCommand({
       restApiId: 'abcd1234',
       resourceId: 'aaa111',
       httpMethod: 'GET',
       authorizationType: 'NONE'
   });
   try {
       const results = await apig.send(command)
       console.log(results)
   } catch (err) {
       console.log("The 'GET /pets' method setup failed:\n", err)
   }
   })();

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {
       "apiKeyRequired": false, 
       "httpMethod": "GET", 
       "authorizationType": "NONE"
   }

   Python

   import botocore
   import boto3
   import logging
   
   logger = logging.getLogger()
   apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
   
   try:
       result = apig.put_method(
           restApiId='abcd1234',
           resourceId='aaa111',
           httpMethod='GET',
           authorizationType='NONE'
       )
   except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
       logger.exception("The 'GET /pets' method setup failed: %s", error)
       raise
   attribute=["httpMethod","authorizationType","apiKeyRequired"]
   filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
   print(filtered_result)

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {'httpMethod': 'GET', 'authorizationType': 'NONE', 'apiKeyRequired': False}

   AWS CLI

   aws apigateway put-method --rest-api-id abcd1234 \
     --resource-id aaa111 \
     --http-method GET \
     --authorization-type "NONE" \
     --region us-west-2

   The following is the successful output of this command:

   {
       "httpMethod": "GET", 
       "authorizationType": "NONE",
       "apiKeyRequired": false
   }

5. The following example adds the GET HTTP method on the /pets/{petId} resource and sets the requestParameters property to pass the client-supplied petId value to the backend:

   JavaScript v3

   import {APIGatewayClient,  PutMethodCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
   (async function (){
   const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
   const command = new PutMethodCommand({
       restApiId: 'abcd1234',
       resourceId: 'bbb222',
       httpMethod: 'GET',
       authorizationType: 'NONE'
       requestParameters: {
           "method.request.path.petId" : true
       }
   });
   try {
       const results = await apig.send(command)
       console.log(results)
   } catch (err) {
       console.log("The 'GET /pets/{petId}' method setup failed:\n", err)
   }
   })();

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {
       "apiKeyRequired": false, 
       "httpMethod": "GET", 
       "authorizationType": "NONE",
       "requestParameters": {
          "method.request.path.petId": true
       }
   }

   Python

   import botocore
   import boto3
   import logging
   
   logger = logging.getLogger()
   apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
   
   try:
       result = apig.put_method(
           restApiId='abcd1234',
           resourceId='bbb222',
           httpMethod='GET',
           authorizationType='NONE',
           requestParameters={
               "method.request.path.petId": True
           }
       )
   except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
       logger.exception("The 'GET /pets/{petId}' method setup failed: %s", error)
       raise
   attribute=["httpMethod","authorizationType","apiKeyRequired", "requestParameters" ]
   filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
   print(filtered_result)

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {'httpMethod': 'GET', 'authorizationType': 'NONE', 'apiKeyRequired': False, 'requestParameters': {'method.request.path.petId': True}}

   AWS CLI

   aws apigateway put-method --rest-api-id abcd1234 \
     --resource-id bbb222 --http-method GET \
     --authorization-type "NONE" \
     --region us-west-2 \
     --request-parameters method.request.path.petId=true

   The following is the successful output of this command:

   {
       "httpMethod": "GET", 
       "authorizationType": "NONE", 
       "apiKeyRequired": false, 
       "requestParameters": {
           "method.request.path.petId": true
       }
   }

6. Use the following example to add the 200 OK method response for the GET /pets method:

   JavaScript v3

   import {APIGatewayClient,  PutMethodResponseCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
   (async function (){
   const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
   const command = new PutMethodResponseCommand({
       restApiId: 'abcd1234',
       resourceId: 'aaa111',
       httpMethod: 'GET',
       statusCode: '200'
   });
   try {
       const results = await apig.send(command)
       console.log(results)
   } catch (err) {
       console.log("Set up the 200 OK response for the 'GET /pets' method failed:\n", err)
   }
   })();

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {
       "statusCode": "200"
   }

   Python

   import botocore
   import boto3
   import logging
   
   logger = logging.getLogger()
   apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
   
   try:
       result = apig.put_method_response(
           restApiId='abcd1234',
           resourceId='aaa111',
           httpMethod='GET',
           statusCode='200'
       )
   except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
       logger.exception("Set up the 200 OK response for the 'GET /pets' method failed %s.", error)
       raise
   attribute=["statusCode"]
   filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
   logger.info(filtered_result)

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {'statusCode': '200'}

   AWS CLI

   aws apigateway put-method-response --rest-api-id abcd1234 \ 
     --resource-id aaa111 --http-method GET \
     --status-code 200  --region us-west-2

   The following is the output of this command:

   {
       "statusCode": "200"
   }

7. Use the following example to add the 200 OK method response for the GET /pets/{petId} method:

   JavaScript v3

   import {APIGatewayClient,  PutMethodResponseCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
   (async function (){
   const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
   const command = new PutMethodResponseCommand({
       restApiId: 'abcd1234',
       resourceId: 'bbb222',
       httpMethod: 'GET',
       statusCode: '200'
   });
   try {
       const results = await apig.send(command)
       console.log(results)
   } catch (err) {
       console.log("Set up the 200 OK response for the 'GET /pets/{petId}' method failed:\n", err)
   }
   })();

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {
       "statusCode": "200"
   }

   Python

   import botocore
   import boto3
   import logging
   
   logger = logging.getLogger()
   apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
   
   try:
       result = apig.put_method_response(
           restApiId='abcd1234',
           resourceId='bbb222',
           httpMethod='GET',
           statusCode='200'
       )
   except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
       logger.exception("Set up the 200 OK response for the 'GET /pets/{petId}' method failed %s.", error)
       raise
   attribute=["statusCode"]
   filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
   logger.info(filtered_result)

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {'statusCode': '200'}

   AWS CLI

   aws apigateway put-method-response --rest-api-id abcd1234 \ 
     --resource-id bbb222 --http-method GET \
     --status-code 200  --region us-west-2

   The following is the output of this command:

   {
       "statusCode": "200"
   }

8. The following example configures an integration for the GET /pets method with an HTTP endpoint. The HTTP endpoint is http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets.

   JavaScript v3

   import {APIGatewayClient,  PutIntegrationCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
   (async function (){
   const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
   const command = new PutIntegrationCommand({
       restApiId: 'abcd1234',
       resourceId: 'aaa111',
       httpMethod: 'GET',
       type: 'HTTP',
       integrationHttpMethod: 'GET',
       uri: 'http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets'
   });
   try {
       const results = await apig.send(command)
       console.log(results)
   } catch (err) {
       console.log("Set up the integration of the 'GET /pets' method of the API failed:\n", err)
   }
   })();

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {
       "httpMethod": "GET", 
       "passthroughBehavior": "WHEN_NO_MATCH", 
       "cacheKeyParameters": [], 
       "type": "HTTP", 
       "uri": "http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets", 
       "cacheNamespace": "ccc333"
   }

   Python

   import botocore
   import boto3
   import logging
   
   logger = logging.getLogger()
   apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
   
   try:
       result = apig.put_integration(
           restApiId='abcd1234',
           resourceId='aaa111',
           httpMethod='GET',
           type='HTTP',
           integrationHttpMethod='GET',
           uri='http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets'
       )
   except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
       logger.exception("Set up the integration of the 'GET /' method of the API failed %s.", error)
       raise
   attribute=["httpMethod","passthroughBehavior","cacheKeyParameters", "type", "uri", "cacheNamespace"]
   filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
   print(filtered_result)

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {'httpMethod': 'GET', 'passthroughBehavior': 'WHEN_NO_MATCH', 'cacheKeyParameters': [], 'type': 'HTTP', 'uri': 'http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets', 'cacheNamespace': 'ccc333'}

   AWS CLI

   aws apigateway put-integration --rest-api-id abcd1234 \
     --resource-id aaa111 --http-method GET --type HTTP \
     --integration-http-method GET \
     --uri 'http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets' \
     --region us-west-2

   The following is the output of this command:

   {
       "type": "HTTP",
       "httpMethod": "GET",
       "uri": "http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets",
       "connectionType": "INTERNET",
       "passthroughBehavior": "WHEN_NO_MATCH",
       "timeoutInMillis": 29000,
       "cacheNamespace": "6sxz2j",
       "cacheKeyParameters": []
   }

9. The following example configures an integration for the GET /pets/{petId} method with an HTTP endpoint. The HTTP endpoint is http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets/{id}. In this step, you map the path parameter petId to the integration endpoint path parameter of id.

   JavaScript v3

   import {APIGatewayClient,  PutIntegrationCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
   (async function (){
   const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
   const command = new PutIntegrationCommand({
       restApiId: 'abcd1234',
       resourceId: 'bbb222',
       httpMethod: 'GET',
       type: 'HTTP',
       integrationHttpMethod: 'GET',
       uri: 'http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets/{id}'
       requestParameters: {
           "integration.request.path.id": "method.request.path.petId"
        }
   });
   try {
       const results = await apig.send(command)
       console.log(results)
   } catch (err) {
       console.log("Set up the integration of the 'GET /pets/{petId}' method of the API failed:\n", err)
   }
   })();

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {
       "httpMethod": "GET", 
       "passthroughBehavior": "WHEN_NO_MATCH", 
       "cacheKeyParameters": [], 
       "type": "HTTP", 
       "uri": "http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets/{id}", 
       "cacheNamespace": "ddd444",
       "requestParameters": {
          "integration.request.path.id": "method.request.path.petId"
       }
   }

   Python

   import botocore
   import boto3
   import logging
   
   logger = logging.getLogger()
   apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
   
   try:
       result = apig.put_integration(
           restApiId='ieps9b05sf',

           requestParameters={
               "integration.request.path.id": "method.request.path.petId"
           }
       )
   except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
       logger.exception("Set up the integration of the 'GET /pets/{petId}' method of the API failed %s.", error)
       raise
   attribute=["httpMethod","passthroughBehavior","cacheKeyParameters", "type", "uri", "cacheNamespace", "requestParameters"]
   filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
   print(filtered_result)

   A successful call returns the following output:

   {'httpMethod': 'GET', 'passthroughBehavior': 'WHEN_NO_MATCH', 'cacheKeyParameters': [], 'type': 'HTTP', 'uri': 'http://petstore-demo-endpoint.execute-api.com/petstore/pets/{id}', 'cacheNamespace': 'ddd444', 'requestParameters': {'integration.request.path.id': 'method.request.path.petId'}}}

   AWS CLI

   }

10. The following example adds the integration response for the GET /pets integration:

    JavaScript v3

    import {APIGatewayClient,  PutIntegrationResponseCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
    (async function (){
    const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
    const command = new PutIntegrationResponseCommand({
        restApiId: 'abcd1234',
        resourceId: 'aaa111',
        httpMethod: 'GET',
        statusCode: '200',
        selectionPattern: ''
    });
    try {
        const results = await apig.send(command)
        console.log(results)
    } catch (err) {
        console.log("The 'GET /pets' method integration response setup failed:\n", err)
    }
    })();

    A successful call returns the following output:

    {
        "selectionPattern": "", 
        "statusCode": "200"
    }

    Python

    import botocore
    import boto3
    import logging
    
    logger = logging.getLogger()
    apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
    
    try:
        result = apig.put_integration_response(
            restApiId='abcd1234',
            resourceId='aaa111',
            httpMethod='GET',
            statusCode='200',
            selectionPattern='',
        )
    except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
        logger.exception("Set up the integration response of the 'GET /pets' method of the API failed: %s", error)
        raise
    attribute=["selectionPattern","statusCode"]
    filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
    print(filtered_result)

    A successful call returns the following output:

    {'selectionPattern': "", 'statusCode': '200'}

    AWS CLI

    aws apigateway put-integration-response --rest-api-id abcd1234 \
      --resource-id aaa111 --http-method GET \
      --status-code 200 --selection-pattern ""  \
      --region us-west-2

    The following is the output of this command:

    {
        "statusCode": "200",
        "selectionPattern": "" 
    }

11. The following example adds the integration response for the GET /pets/{petId} integration:

    JavaScript v3

    import {APIGatewayClient,  PutIntegrationResponseCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
    (async function (){
    const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
    const command = new PutIntegrationResponseCommand({
        restApiId: 'abcd1234',
        resourceId: 'bbb222',
        httpMethod: 'GET',
        statusCode: '200',
        selectionPattern: ''
    });
    try {
        const results = await apig.send(command)
        console.log(results)
    } catch (err) {
        console.log("The 'GET /pets/{petId}' method integration response setup failed:\n", err)
    }
    })();

    A successful call returns the following output:

    {
        "selectionPattern": "", 
        "statusCode": "200"
    }

    Python

    import botocore
    import boto3
    import logging
    
    logger = logging.getLogger()
    apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
    
    try:
        result = apig.put_integration_response(
            restApiId='abcd1234',
            resourceId='bbb222',
            httpMethod='GET',
            statusCode='200',
            selectionPattern='',
        )
    except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
        logger.exception("Set up the integration response of the 'GET /pets/{petId}' method of the API failed: %s", error)
        raise
    attribute=["selectionPattern","statusCode"]
    filtered_result ={key:result[key] for key in attribute}
    print(filtered_result)

    A successful call returns the following output:

    {'selectionPattern': "", 'statusCode': '200'}

    AWS CLI

    aws apigateway put-integration-response --rest-api-id abcd1234 \
      --resource-id bbb222 --http-method GET 
      --status-code 200 --selection-pattern ""  
      --region us-west-2

    The following is the output of this command:

    {
        "statusCode": "200",
        "selectionPattern": "" 
    }

    After you create the integration response, your API can query available pets on the PetStore website and to view an individual pet of a specified identifier. Before your API is callable by your customers, you must deploy it. We recommend that before you deploy your API, you test it.

12. The following example tests the GET /pets method:

    JavaScript v3

    import {APIGatewayClient,  TestInvokeMethodCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
    (async function (){
    const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
    const command = new TestInvokeMethodCommand({
        restApiId: 'abcd1234',
        resourceId: 'aaa111',
        httpMethod: 'GET',
        pathWithQueryString: '/',
    });
    try {
        const results = await apig.send(command)
        console.log(results)
    } catch (err) {
        console.log("The test on 'GET /pets' method failed:\n", err)
    }
    })();

    Python

    import botocore
    import boto3
    import logging
    
    logger = logging.getLogger()
    apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
    
    try:
        result = apig.test_invoke_method(
            restApiId='abcd1234',
            resourceId='aaa111',
            httpMethod='GET',
            pathWithQueryString='/',
        )
    except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
        logger.exception("Test invoke method on 'GET /pets' failed: %s", error)
        raise
    print(result)

    AWS CLI

    aws apigateway test-invoke-method --rest-api-id abcd1234 /
      --resource-id aaa111 /
      --http-method GET /
      --path-with-query-string '/'

13. The following example tests the GET /pets/{petId} method with a petId of 3:

    JavaScript v3

    import {APIGatewayClient,  TestInvokeMethodCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
    (async function (){
    const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
    const command = new TestInvokeMethodCommand({
        restApiId: 'abcd1234',
        resourceId: 'bbb222',
        httpMethod: 'GET',
        pathWithQueryString: '/pets/3',
    });
    try {
        const results = await apig.send(command)
        console.log(results)
    } catch (err) {
        console.log("The test on 'GET /pets/{petId}' method failed:\n", err)
    }
    })();

    Python

    import botocore
    import boto3
    import logging
    
    logger = logging.getLogger()
    apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
    
    try:
        result = apig.test_invoke_method(
            restApiId='abcd1234',
            resourceId='bbb222',
            httpMethod='GET',
            pathWithQueryString='/pets/3',
        )
    except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
        logger.exception("Test invoke method on 'GET /pets/{petId}' failed: %s", error)
        raise
    print(result)

    AWS CLI

    aws apigateway test-invoke-method --rest-api-id abcd1234 /
      --resource-id bbb222 /
      --http-method GET /
      --path-with-query-string '/pets/3'

    After you successfully test your API, you can deploy it to a stage.

14. The following example deploys your API to a stage named test. When you deploy your API to a stage, API callers can invoke your API.

    JavaScript v3

    import {APIGatewayClient,  CreateDeploymentCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-api-gateway";
    (async function (){
    const apig = new APIGatewayClient({region:"us-east-1"});
    const command = new CreateDeploymentCommand({
        restApiId: 'abcd1234',
        stageName: 'test',
        stageDescription: 'test deployment'
    });
    try {
        const results = await apig.send(command)
        console.log("Deploying API succeeded\n", results)
    } catch (err) {
        console.log("Deploying API failed:\n", err)
    }
    })();

    Python

    import botocore
    import boto3
    import logging
    
    logger = logging.getLogger()
    apig = boto3.client('apigateway')
    
    try:
        result = apig.create_deployment(
            restApiId='ieps9b05sf',
            stageName='test',
            stageDescription='my test stage',
        )
    except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
        logger.exception("Error deploying stage  %s.", error)
        raise
    print('Deploying API succeeded')
    print(result)

    AWS CLI

    aws apigateway create-deployment --rest-api-id abcd1234 \ 
      --region us-west-2 \
      --stage-name test \
      --stage-description 'Test stage' \
      --description 'First deployment'

    The following is the output of this command:

    {
        "id": "ab1c1d",
        "description": "First deployment",
        "createdDate": "2022-12-15T08:44:13-08:00"
    }

    Your API is now callable by customers. You can test this API by entering the https://abcd1234.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/test/pets URL in a browser, and substituting abcd1234 with the identifier of your API.
