Build a HTTP API using AWS Lambda and API Gateway

In this video I explain HTTP API in the AWS Console and then I show you how to develop your own HTTP API with AWS SAM going through each step of creating the HTTP API from scratch and deploying it to AWS.

I find it nothing short of hilarious that there are HOURS in certain videos that accomplish what you've done in 8 minutes (8:19 to be precise about it). I'm not even done w/this 24 minute video and I'm lightyears ahead in my coding project. Well done, Jonathan, truly. And for bonus points, you kicked GPT's arse in explaining this concept.

good video

[@prathimaalapati4784]

Thanks for this video. This is definitely helpful for my baby steps. Am trying to have a post call using http URI as backend rather than lambda how can i pass the body of the request ?

[@Jonathan.Davies]

Glad you found it helpful Prathima. Do you mean making an a POST call to a normal API or making a POST call to Lambda?
For a POST to a normal API - you do something like this:
Using the JavaScript Fetch API - define some request options (just an object) that has a body within it - just like this …
const requestOptions = {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ title: 'Fetch POST Request Example' })
};
Then make your call - with the API URL and the the requestOptions object we defined above (that contains the body)
const response = fetch('path.to.your.api', requestOptions);
Very rough example but hopefully helped a bit 👍

[@prathimaalapati4784]

@@Jonathan.Davies Cant believe you responded so quickly :-) Am exploring if there is a way to send body when HTTP is chosen as the option and in Manage Integrations ?

sorry, but I lost you when you switched the windows. For others perhaps it is obvious, but for me who still learns not so much.

[@Jonathan.Davies]

@chgian77 that's fair enough, it's good that you're learning. Keep up the good work.
