community.aws.aws_api_gateway – Manage AWS API Gateway APIs
Note
This plugin is part of the community.aws collection (version 1.5.0).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.
To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.aws.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.aws.aws_api_gateway.
New in version 1.0.0: of community.aws
Synopsis
- Allows for the management of API Gateway APIs.
 - Normally you should give the api_id since there is no other stable guaranteed unique identifier for the API. If you do not give api_id then a new API will be created each time this is run.
 - Beware that there are very hard limits on the rate that you can call API Gateway’s REST API. You may need to patch your boto. See https://github.com/boto/boto3/issues/876 and discuss it with your AWS rep.
 - swagger_file and swagger_text are passed directly on to AWS transparently whilst swagger_dict is an ansible dict which is converted to JSON before the API definitions are uploaded.
 
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- boto
 - boto3
 - python >= 2.6

Notes
Note
- A future version of this module will probably use tags or another ID so that an API can be created only once.
 - As an early work around an intermediate version will probably do the same using a tag embedded in the API name.
 - If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence 
AWS_URLorEC2_URL,AWS_PROFILEorAWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDorAWS_ACCESS_KEYorEC2_ACCESS_KEY,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEYorAWS_SECRET_KEYorEC2_SECRET_KEY,AWS_SECURITY_TOKENorEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN,AWS_REGIONorEC2_REGION,AWS_CA_BUNDLE - Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
 AWS_REGIONorEC2_REGIONcan be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
