community.aws.api_gateway module – Manage AWS API Gateway APIs

Note

This module is part of the community.aws collection (version 5.5.0).

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. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.aws.api_gateway.

New in community.aws 1.0.0

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.

  • 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.

  • Prior to release 5.0.0 this module was called community.aws.aws_api_gateway. The usage did not change.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 3.6

  • boto3 >= 1.18.0

  • botocore >= 1.21.0

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

access_key

aliases: aws_access_key_id, aws_access_key, ec2_access_key

string

AWS access key ID.

See the AWS documentation for more information about access tokens https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys.

The AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variables may also be used in decreasing order of preference. Prior to release 6.0.0 these environment variables will be ignored if the profile parameter is passed. After release 6.0.0 access_key will always fall back to the environment variables if set.

The aws_access_key and profile options are mutually exclusive.

The aws_access_key_id alias was added in release 5.1.0 for consistency with the AWS botocore SDK.

The ec2_access_key alias has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.

Support for the EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable has been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.

api_id

  • "PRIVATE"

endpoint_url

aliases: ec2_url, aws_endpoint_url, s3_url

string

URL to connect to instead of the default AWS endpoints. While this can be used to connection to other AWS-compatible services the amazon.aws and community.aws collections are only tested against AWS.

The AWS_URL or EC2_URL environment variables may also be used, in decreasing order of preference.

The ec2_url and s3_url aliases have been deprecated and will be removed in a release after 2024-12-01.

The AWS_PROFILE environment variable may also be used. Prior to release 6.0.0 the AWS_PROFILE environment variable will be ignored if any of access_key, secret_key, or session_token are passed. After release 6.0.0 profile will always fall back to the AWS_PROFILE environment variable if set.

The profile option is mutually exclusive with the aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and security_token options.

region

aliases: aws_region, ec2_region

string

The AWS region to use.

For global services such as IAM, Route53 and CloudFront, region is ignored.

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.

  • Caution: For modules, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘host’ context and not the ‘controller’ context. As such, files may need to be explicitly copied to the ‘host’. For lookup and connection plugins, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘controller’ context and not the ‘host’ context.

  • The AWS SDK (boto3) that Ansible uses may also read defaults for credentials and other settings, such as the region, from its configuration files in the Ansible ‘host’ context (typically ~/.aws/credentials). See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html for more information.
