To add path parameters to API Gateway, follow these steps:
- Create an API using the AWS Management Console. Add a resource, and in the resource’s path, include a set of curly brackets to designate it as a path parameter. For example, if you want to add a path parameter called “id”, the path should look like “/resource/{id}”.
- Create a method (e.g., GET) and link it to the Lambda function or another integration of your choice. This method will handle the request for the specified path parameter.
- Test the API on the AWS Management Console to ensure it works correctly. You can send a test request with the path parameter to see the response.
In conclusion, adding path parameters to AWS API Gateway is a simple and powerful feature that enables you to create more dynamic and flexible APIs. With path parameters, you can easily handle specific requests and retrieve the information requested by clients.
