Shows how to use the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to work with Amazon API Gateway.

API Gateway enables you to create and deploy your own REST and WebSocket APIs at any scale.

• Running this code might result in charges to your AWS account. For more details, see AWS Pricing and Free Tier.
• Running the tests might result in charges to your AWS account.
• We recommend that you grant your code least privilege. At most, grant only the minimum permissions required to perform the task. For more information, see Grant least privilege.
• This code is not tested in every AWS Region. For more information, see AWS Regional Services.

For prerequisites, see the README in the python folder.

Install the packages required by these examples by running the following in a virtual environment:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Code excerpts that show you how to call individual service functions.

• CreateDeployment
• CreateResource
• CreateRestApi
• DeleteRestApi
• GetResources
• GetRestApis
• PutIntegration
• PutIntegrationResponse
• PutMethod
• PutMethodResponse

Code examples that show you how to accomplish a specific task by calling multiple functions within the same service.

• Create a REST API to track COVID-19 data
• Create a lending library REST API
• Create a websocket chat application
• Create and deploy a REST API
• Use API Gateway to invoke a Lambda function

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

This example shows you how to create a lending library where patrons can borrow and return books by using a REST API backed by an Amazon Aurora database.

This example shows you how to create a chat application that is served by a websocket API built on Amazon API Gateway.

This example shows you how to do the following:

• Create a REST API served by API Gateway.
• Add resources to the REST API to represent a user profile.
• Add integration methods so that the REST API uses a DynamoDB table to store user profile data.
• Send HTTP requests to the REST API to add and retrieve user profiles.

Start the example by running the following at a command prompt:

python aws_service/aws_service.py

For additional instructions on how to set up and run this example, see the README in the aws_service folder.

This example shows you how to create an AWS Lambda function invoked by Amazon API Gateway.

⚠ Running tests might result in charges to your AWS account.

To find instructions for running these tests, see the README in the python folder.
