- apiKeyRequired
Specifies whether the method required a valid ApiKey.
- operationName
A human-friendly operation identifier for the method. For example, you can assign the
operationName
ofListPets
for theGET /pets
method in thePetStore
example.- requestParameters
A key-value map defining required or optional method request parameters that can be accepted by API Gateway. A key defines a method request parameter name matching the pattern of
method.request.{location}.{name}
, wherelocation
isquerystring
,path
, orheader
andname
is a valid and unique parameter name. The value associated with the key is a Boolean flag indicating whether the parameter is required (true
) or optional (false
). The method request parameter names defined here are available in Integration to be mapped to integration request parameters or body-mapping templates.- requestModels
Specifies the Model resources used for the request's content type. Request models are represented as a key/value map, with a content type as the key and a Model name as the value.
- requestValidatorId
The identifier of a RequestValidator for validating the method request.
- authorizationScopes
A list of authorization scopes configured on the method. The scopes are used with a
COGNITO_USER_POOLS
authorizer to authorize the method invocation. The authorization works by matching the method scopes against the scopes parsed from the access token in the incoming request. The method invocation is authorized if any method scopes matches a claimed scope in the access token. Otherwise, the invocation is not authorized. When the method scope is configured, the client must provide an access token instead of an identity token for authorization purposes.
