Import an API into API Gateway
You can use the API Gateway Import API feature to import an API from an external definition file into API Gateway. Currently, the Import API feature supports Swagger v2.0 definition files.
With the Import API, you can either create a new API by submitting a POST request that includes a
Swagger definition in the payload and endpoint configuration, or you can update an
existing
API by using a PUT request that
contains a Swagger definition in the payload. You can update an API by overwriting
it with a
new definition, or merge a definition with an existing API. You specify the options
using a
mode query parameter in the request URL .
Note
For RAML API definitions, you can continue to use API Gateway Importer.
Besides making explicit calls to the REST API, as described below, you can also use the Import API feature in the API Gateway console. For a quick start to using the Import API feature from the API Gateway console, see Build an API Gateway API from an Example.
