Use the API Gateway console to test a REST API method.

You must specify the settings for the methods you want to test. Follow the instructions in Set up REST API methods in API Gateway.
Test a method with the API Gateway console
Important
Testing methods with the API Gateway console might result in changes to resources that cannot be undone. Testing a method with the API Gateway console is the same as calling the method outside of the API Gateway console. For example, if you use the API Gateway console to call a method that deletes an API's resources, if the method call is successful, the API's resources will be deleted.
In addition to using the API Gateway console, you can use AWS CLI or an AWS SDK for API Gateway to test invoking a method. To do so using AWS CLI, see test-invoke-method.
