Recently I had a contracted company do some work and part of that was to create an API Gateway. When I create one I add a stage with usage plan so I can add an API key. They did not. So now when I attempt to hit it with Postman it is always reporting "forbidden".
Is a stage required for the API Gateway to be usable by Postman?
Found the answer in the docs at AWS here: Publishing REST APIs for customers to invoke
It states:
Simply creating and developing an API Gateway API doesn't automatically make it callable by your users. To make it callable, you must deploy your API to a stage.
So YES, a stage is required for the API Gateway to be usable by Postman.

I have a private S3 bucket with lots of small files. I'd like to expose the contents of the bucket (only read-only access) using AWS API Gateway as a proxy. Both S3 bucket and AWS API Gateway belong to the same AWS account and are in the same VPC and Availability Zone.
AWS API Gateway comes in two types: HTTP API, REST API. The configuration options of REST API are more advanced, additionally, REST API supports much more AWS services integrations than the HTTP API. In fact, the use case I described above is fully covered in one of the documentation tabs of REST API. However, REST API has one huge disadvantage - it's about 70% more expensive than the HTTP API, the price comes with more configuration options but as for now, I need only one - integration with the S3 service that's why I believe this type of service is not well suited for my use case. I started searching if HTTP API can be integrated with S3, and so far I haven't found any way to achieve it.
I tried creating/editing service-linked roles associated with the HTTP API Gateway instance, but those roles can't be edited (only read-only access). As for now, I don't have any idea where I should search next, or if my goal is even achievable using HTTP API.
I am a fan of AWSs HTTP APIs.
I work daily with an API that serves a very similar purpose. The way I have done it is by using AWS Lambda functions integrated with the APIs paths.
What works for me is this:
Define your API paths, and integrate them with AWS Lambda functions.
Have your integrated Lambda function return a signed URL for any objects you want to provide access to through API calls.
There are several different ways to pass the name of the object(s) you want to the Lambda function servicing the API call.
This is the short answer. I plan to give a longer answer at a later time. But this has worked for me.
I am newbie to AWS and looking to resolve the API Gateway issue. We had a frontend web application where if users perform any activity by clicking a Personal Details link then request will hit the AWS API Gateway "A" and trigger lambda-A. We created AWS code pipeline and deployed application using Cloud Formation Stack which creates new API Gateway-B and Lambda-B. After the deployment it was intended that when ever user hits the Personal Details it should hit API Gateway-B and triggering the Lambda-B instead it was hitting old AWS API Gateway "A" and triggering lambda-A. Any help will be highly appreciated.

You need to update the base path mapping of your backend domain to API Gateway B.
Or you have to edit the backend url in frontend code to new api gateway url
Custom domains with API Gateway
You need to change Lambda function in API Gateway. Please check this article which have screenshots.
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/using-api-gateway-stage-variables-to-manage-lambda-functions/
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/services-apigateway.html
Also I want to recommend you to use Serverless for your project.
This was due to the User request from Website navigating to data power (third party vendor for security). In data power it was configured to old API Gateway, so we changed it to new API Gateway.
For example, Azure API Management service allows the creation of an API "proxy" front end and the ability to create an api version such as
https://baseapi.com/apiName1/v1
Here is screenshot of that in Azure platform.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api-management-get-started-publish-versions
Does AWS API Gateway RestAPIs allow this type of versioning natively?
If it does, how can I setup for example "v1" of a restAPI?
And if the AWS RestAPI "Stage" is the way to accomplish this, how would I still support the idea of creating stages per environment, while still doing versioning? To me stage seems more associated with environments, whereas versioning is a completely separate concept.
Note: The rest APIs are private
First limitation of private APIs from the documentation is the following:
Custom domain names are not supported for private APIs.
This limits what you can do with API Gateway to support multiple versions.
Run an API Gateway per version - This option grants you complete separation between API versions, however, unfortunately you will need to call a separate endpoint per API.
Deploy a single private API Gateway containing all API versions - This option scopes everything to a single endpoint but as a limitation could become quite complex and hard to manage depending on the number of verbs.
Hopefully in the future this feature from custom domains detailed below will be added.
Previous Answer - Before known using Private API
This can be done in API Gateway through the combination of stages and custom domain configuration.
If you deploy each version of API Gateway to either its own stage i.e. v1, v2 stage you have seperated the schema and actions between the versions.
Alternatively you can have a separate API and stage for each version of your specific API.
Then create a custom domain name for your API endpoint, under base path mappings you can map a specific subfolder v1 to the API and select the v1 stage in your API Gateway endpoint.
After creating API Gateway with two API names and integrating with lambda function,
AWS documentation recommends to deploy this API, as shown below:
1) What does deploy API mean? How creating API gateway different from deploying API?
2) Does deploy API option internally create Cloud formation template? that creates a stack and deploy
1) What does deploy API mean? How creating an API gateway different from deploying API?
Let' say you have created your API but how about making it public so that it can be used.
That's where deploy comes. Once you are done with writing your API, deploy it to make it callable by your users. When you deploy, then you get the link from API Gateway which can be accessed by everyone.
It is described here
2) Does deploy API option internally create Cloud formation template? that creates a stack and deploy
No, Like you said you have integrated a lambda function with your API then API Gateway will simply redirect all the calls to your lambda function which is serverless.
An API Gateway is a Proxy that manages the endpoints ,It acts as the single entryway into a system allowing multiple APIs or microservices to act cohesively and provide a uniform experience to the user.
The most important role the API gateway plays is ensuring reliable processing of every API call. In addition, the API gateway provides the ability to design API specs, help provide enterprise-grade security, and manage APIs centrally.
An API Gateway is a server that is the single entry point into the
system. It is similar to the Facade pattern from object‑oriented
design. The API Gateway encapsulates the internal system architecture
and provides an API that is tailored to each client. It might have
other responsibilities such as authentication, monitoring, load
balancing, caching, request shaping and static response handling.

I am trying to call sagemaker inference endpoint from api gateway with AWS Integration.I don't want to use lamdba in between of API gateway and sagemaker runtime. I followed this doc to setup api gateway method but it fails.
How can i call sagemaker inference endpoint from API gateway?
Web Browser ----> API Gateway ----> Sagemaker endpoint
API Gateway supports integration with AWS services directly (without the Lambda). You can follow the instructions at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/getting-started-aws-proxy.html.
When you go to Step 4 in the instructions above, for the AWS Service option, you can choose 'SageMaker Runtime' to target the invoke endpoints.
API Gateway can be used to front an Amazon SageMaker inference endpoint as a REST API, by making use of an API Gateway feature called mapping templates. This feature makes it possible for the REST API to be integrated directly with an Amazon SageMaker runtime endpoint, thereby avoiding the use of any intermediate compute resource (such as AWS Lambda or Amazon ECS containers) to invoke the endpoint. The result is a solution that is simpler, faster, and cheaper to run. See this blog post for more detail on how to configure the API Gateway mapping templates against the Sagemaker runtime endpoint.
it's a long shot since it's an old question but somebody might end up here.
Reading the first section of the documentation about calling the inference endpoint in sagemaker, you'll find that you can only call it with a POST and pass your input data in the body.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_InvokeEndpoint.html
So it might be that you created a GET method in API Gateway and that you need to map your request parameters to a body payload or simply set up a POST method instead.
