AWS variables for OpenAPI import - Amazon API Gateway

You can use the following AWS variables in OpenAPI definitions. API Gateway resolves the variables when the API is imported. To specify a variable, use ${variable-name}. The following table describes the available AWS variables.

Variable name Description
AWS::AccountId The AWS account ID that imports the API. For example, 123456789012.
AWS::Partition The AWS partition in which the API is imported. For standard AWS Regions, the partition is aws.
AWS::Region The AWS Region in which the API is imported. For example, us-east-2.
