AWS::ApiGateway::Account

The AWS::ApiGateway::Account resource specifies the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that Amazon API Gateway (API Gateway) uses to write API logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs (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).
