Properties

AuthorizationType

The authorization type. For WebSocket APIs, valid values are NONE for open access, AWS_IAM for using Amazon IAM permissions, and CUSTOM for using a Lambda authorizer. For HTTP APIs, valid values are NONE for open access, JWT for using JSON Web Tokens, AWS_IAM for using Amazon IAM permissions, and CUSTOM for using a Lambda authorizer.

  • NONE

  • AWS_IAM

  • CUSTOM

  • JWT

BadRequestException

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
message

string

False

Describes the error encountered.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
message

string

False

Describes the error encountered.

LimitExceededException

A limit has been exceeded. See the accompanying error message for details.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
limitType

string

False

The limit type.

message

string

False

Describes the error encountered.

NotFoundException

The resource specified in the request was not found. See the message field for more information.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
message

string

ParameterConstraints

Validation constraints imposed on parameters of a request (path, query string, headers).

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
required

boolean

False

Whether or not the parameter is required.

Route

Represents a route.

PropertyTypeRequiredDescription
apiGatewayManaged

boolean

False

Specifies whether a route is managed by API Gateway. If you created an API using quick create, the $default route is managed by API Gateway. You can't modify the $default route key.

apiKeyRequired

boolean

False

Specifies whether an API key is required for this route. Supported only for WebSocket APIs.

authorizationScopes

Array of type string

False

A list of authorization scopes configured on a route. The scopes are used with a JWT authorizer to authorize the method invocation. The authorization works by matching the route scopes against the scopes parsed from the access token in the incoming request. The method invocation is authorized if any route scope matches a claimed scope in the access token. Otherwise, the invocation is not authorized. When the route scope is configured, the client must provide an access token instead of an identity token for authorization purposes.

authorizationType

AuthorizationType

False

The authorization type for the route. For WebSocket APIs, valid values are NONE for open access, AWS_IAM for using Amazon IAM permissions, and CUSTOM for using a Lambda authorizer. For HTTP APIs, valid values are NONE for open access, JWT for using JSON Web Tokens, AWS_IAM for using Amazon IAM permissions, and CUSTOM for using a Lambda authorizer.

authorizerId

False

The identifier of the Authorizer resource to be associated with this route. The authorizer identifier is generated by API Gateway when you created the authorizer.
