# Scenarios for API Gateway using AWS SDKs
<a name="api-gateway_code_examples_scenarios"></a>

The following code examples show you how to implement common scenarios in API Gateway with AWS SDKs. These scenarios show you how to accomplish specific tasks by calling multiple functions within API Gateway or combined with other AWS services. Each scenario includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code. 

Scenarios target an intermediate level of experience to help you understand service actions in context.

# Create an API Gateway REST API to track COVID-19 data
<a name="api-gateway_example_cross_ApiGatewayDataTracker_section"></a>

The following code example shows how to create a REST API that simulates a system to track daily cases of COVID-19 in the United States, using fictional data.

------
#### [ Python ]

**SDK for Python (Boto3)**  
 Shows how to use AWS Chalice with the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to create a serverless REST API that uses Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, and Amazon DynamoDB. The REST API simulates a system that tracks daily cases of COVID-19 in the United States, using fictional data. Learn how to:   
+ Use AWS Chalice to define routes in Lambda functions that are called to handle REST requests that come through API Gateway.
+ Use Lambda functions to retrieve and store data in a DynamoDB table to serve REST requests.
+ Define table structure and security role resources in an AWS CloudFormation template.
+ Use AWS Chalice and CloudFormation to package and deploy all necessary resources.
+ Use CloudFormation to clean up all created resources.
 For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on [GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/python/cross_service/apigateway_covid-19_tracker).

# Use API Gateway to invoke a Lambda function
<a name="api-gateway_example_cross_LambdaAPIGateway_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to create an AWS Lambda function invoked by Amazon API Gateway.

------
#### [ Java ]

**SDK for Java 2.x**  
 Shows how to create an AWS Lambda function by using the Lambda Java runtime API. This example invokes different AWS services to perform a specific use case. This example demonstrates how to create a Lambda function invoked by Amazon API Gateway that scans an Amazon DynamoDB table for work anniversaries and uses Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to send a text message to your employees that congratulates them at their one year anniversary date.   
 For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on [GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/javav2/usecases/creating_lambda_apigateway).   

**Services used in this example**
+ API Gateway
+ DynamoDB
+ Lambda
+ Amazon SNS

------
#### [ JavaScript ]

**SDK for JavaScript (v3)**  
 Shows how to create an AWS Lambda function by using the Lambda JavaScript runtime API. This example invokes different AWS services to perform a specific use case. This example demonstrates how to create a Lambda function invoked by Amazon API Gateway that scans an Amazon DynamoDB table for work anniversaries and uses Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to send a text message to your employees that congratulates them at their one year anniversary date.   
 For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on [GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/javascriptv3/example_code/cross-services/lambda-api-gateway).   
This example is also available in the [AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 developer guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-javascript/v3/developer-guide/api-gateway-invoking-lambda-example.html).  

**Services used in this example**
+ API Gateway
+ DynamoDB
+ Lambda
+ Amazon SNS

------
#### [ Python ]

**SDK for Python (Boto3)**  
 This example shows how to create and use an Amazon API Gateway REST API that targets an AWS Lambda function. The Lambda handler demonstrates how to route based on HTTP methods; how to get data from the query string, header, and body; and how to return a JSON response.   
+ Deploy a Lambda function.
+ Create an API Gateway REST API.
+ Create a REST resource that targets the Lambda function.
+ Grant permission to let API Gateway invoke the Lambda function.
+ Use the Requests package to send requests to the REST API.
+ Clean up all resources created during the demo.
 This example is best viewed on GitHub. For complete source code and instructions on how to set up and run, see the full example on [GitHub](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/main/python/example_code/lambda#readme).
