AWS::ApiGateway::Account - AWS CloudFormation
SyntaxPropertiesReturn valuesExamplesSee also

AWS::ApiGateway::Account

The AWS::ApiGateway::Account resource specifies the IAM role that Amazon API Gateway uses to write API logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs.

Important

If an API Gateway resource has never been created in your AWS account, you must add a dependency on another API Gateway resource, such as an AWS::ApiGateway::RestApi or AWS::ApiGateway::ApiKey resource.

If an API Gateway resource has been created in your AWS account, no dependency is required (even if the resource was deleted).

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Type" : "AWS::ApiGateway::Account",
  "Properties" : {
      "CloudWatchRoleArn" : String
    }
}

YAML

Type: AWS::ApiGateway::Account
Properties: 
  CloudWatchRoleArn: String

Properties

CloudWatchRoleArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role that has write access to CloudWatch Logs in your account.

Required: No

Type: String
