API Gateway create and deploy a REST API example

Overview

Shows how to use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) with Amazon API Gateway to create a REST API that integrates with Amazon DynamoDB.

These instructions are additional steps you must take to set up and run this example after you have followed the instructions in the README in the api-gateway folder.

Running the code

This example requires a DynamoDB table with a specific key schema and an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that grants permission to let API Gateway perform actions on the table. These resources are managed by an AWS CloudFormation stack that is defined in the accompanying setup.yaml file.

Deploy resources

Deploy prerequisite resources by running the example script with the deploy flag at a command prompt.

python aws_service.py deploy

Run the usage demonstration

Run the usage example with the demo flag at a command prompt.

python aws_service.py demo

Destroy resources

Destroy example resources by running the script with the destroy flag at a command prompt.
