import-rest-api¶

Description¶

A feature of the API Gateway control service for creating a new API from an external API definition file.

Synopsis¶

  import-rest-api
[--fail-on-warnings | --no-fail-on-warnings]
[--parameters <value>]
--body <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--fail-on-warnings | --no-fail-on-warnings (boolean)

A query parameter to indicate whether to rollback the API creation (true ) or not (false ) when a warning is encountered. The default value is false .

--parameters (map)

A key-value map of context-specific query string parameters specifying the behavior of different API importing operations. The following shows operation-specific parameters and their supported values.

To exclude DocumentationParts from the import, set parameters as ignore=documentation .

To configure the endpoint type, set parameters as endpointConfigurationTypes=EDGE , endpointConfigurationTypes=REGIONAL , or endpointConfigurationTypes=PRIVATE . The default endpoint type is EDGE .

To handle imported basepath , set parameters as basepath=ignore , basepath=prepend or basepath=split .

For example, the AWS CLI command to exclude documentation from the imported API is:

The AWS CLI command to set the regional endpoint on the imported API is:

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--body (blob)

The POST request body containing external API definitions. Currently, only OpenAPI definition JSON/YAML files are supported. The maximum size of the API definition file is 6MB.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To import a Swagger template and create an API

Command:

aws apigateway import-rest-api --body 'fileb:///path/to/API_Swagger_template.json'

Output¶

id -> (string)

The API’s identifier. This identifier is unique across all of your APIs in API Gateway.

name -> (string)

The API’s name.

description -> (string)

The API’s description.

createdDate -> (timestamp)

The timestamp when the API was created.

version -> (string)

A version identifier for the API.

warnings -> (list)

The warning messages reported when failonwarnings is turned on during API import.

(string)

binaryMediaTypes -> (list)

The list of binary media types supported by the RestApi. By default, the RestApi supports only UTF-8-encoded text payloads.

(string)

minimumCompressionSize -> (integer)

A nullable integer that is used to enable compression (with non-negative between 0 and 10485760 (10M) bytes, inclusive) or disable compression (with a null value) on an API. When compression is enabled, compression or decompression is not applied on the payload if the payload size is smaller than this value. Setting it to zero allows compression for any payload size.

apiKeySource -> (string)

The source of the API key for metering requests according to a usage plan. Valid values are: >``HEADER`` to read the API key from the X-API-Key header of a request. AUTHORIZER to read the API key from the UsageIdentifierKey from a custom authorizer.

endpointConfiguration -> (structure)

The endpoint configuration of this RestApi showing the endpoint types of the API.

types -> (list)

A list of endpoint types of an API (RestApi) or its custom domain name (DomainName). For an edge-optimized API and its custom domain name, the endpoint type is "EDGE" . For a regional API and its custom domain name, the endpoint type is REGIONAL . For a private API, the endpoint type is PRIVATE .

(string)

The endpoint type. The valid values are EDGE for edge-optimized API setup, most suitable for mobile applications; REGIONAL for regional API endpoint setup, most suitable for calling from AWS Region; and PRIVATE for private APIs.

vpcEndpointIds -> (list)

A list of VpcEndpointIds of an API (RestApi) against which to create Route53 ALIASes. It is only supported for PRIVATE endpoint type.

(string)

policy -> (string)

A stringified JSON policy document that applies to this RestApi regardless of the caller and Method configuration.

tags -> (map)

The collection of tags. Each tag element is associated with a given resource.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

disableExecuteApiEndpoint -> (boolean)

Specifies whether clients can invoke your API by using the default execute-api endpoint. By default, clients can invoke your API with the default https://{api_id}.execute-api.{region}.amazonaws.com endpoint. To require that clients use a custom domain name to invoke your API, disable the default endpoint.
