CfnApi

The `AWS::ApiGatewayV2::Api` resource creates an API. WebSocket APIs and HTTP APIs are supported. For more information about WebSocket APIs, see [About WebSocket APIs in API Gateway](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/apigateway-websocket-api-overview.html) in the *API Gateway Developer Guide* . For more information about HTTP APIs, see [HTTP APIs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/http-api.html) in the *API Gateway Developer Guide.*

Import

import { CfnApi } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-apigatewayv2';

Or use the module namespace:

import * as apigatewayv2 from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-apigatewayv2';
// apigatewayv2.CfnApi

Properties

Configuration passed to the constructor as CfnApiProps.

apiKeySelectionExpressionOptional
string

An API key selection expression. Supported only for WebSocket APIs. See [API Key Selection Expressions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/apigateway-websocket-api-selection-expressions.html#apigateway-websocket-api-apikey-selection-expressions) .

basePathOptional
string

Specifies how to interpret the base path of the API during import. Valid values are `ignore` , `prepend` , and `split` . The default value is `ignore` . To learn more, see [Set the OpenAPI basePath Property](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api-gateway-import-api-basePath.html) . Supported only for HTTP APIs.

bodyOptional
any

The OpenAPI definition. Supported only for HTTP APIs. To import an HTTP API, you must specify a `Body` or `BodyS3Location` . If you specify a `Body` or `BodyS3Location` , don't specify CloudFormation resources such as `AWS::ApiGatewayV2::Authorizer` or `AWS::ApiGatewayV2::Route` . API Gateway doesn't support the combination of OpenAPI and CloudFormation resources.

bodyS3LocationOptional
IResolvable | BodyS3LocationProperty

The S3 location of an OpenAPI definition. Supported only for HTTP APIs. To import an HTTP API, you must specify a `Body` or `BodyS3Location` . If you specify a `Body` or `BodyS3Location` , don't specify CloudFormation resources such as `AWS::ApiGatewayV2::Authorizer` or `AWS::ApiGatewayV2::Route` . API Gateway doesn't support the combination of OpenAPI and CloudFormation resources.

corsConfigurationOptional
IResolvable | CorsProperty

A CORS configuration. Supported only for HTTP APIs. See [Configuring CORS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/http-api-cors.html) for more information.

credentialsArnOptional
string

This property is part of quick create. It specifies the credentials required for the integration, if any. For a Lambda integration, three options are available. To specify an IAM Role for API Gateway to assume, use the role's Amazon Resource Name (ARN). To require that the caller's identity be passed through from the request, specify `arn:aws:iam::*:user/*` . To use resource-based permissions on supported AWS services, specify `null` . Currently, this property is not used for HTTP integrations. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

descriptionOptional
string

The description of the API.

disableExecuteApiEndpointOptional
boolean | IResolvable

Specifies whether clients can invoke your API by using the default `execute-api` endpoint. By default, clients can invoke your API with the default https://{api_id}.execute-api.{region}.amazonaws.com endpoint. To require that clients use a custom domain name to invoke your API, disable the default endpoint.

disableSchemaValidationOptional
boolean | IResolvable

Avoid validating models when creating a deployment. Supported only for WebSocket APIs.

failOnWarningsOptional
boolean | IResolvable

Specifies whether to rollback the API creation when a warning is encountered. By default, API creation continues if a warning is encountered.

ipAddressTypeOptional
string

The IP address types that can invoke the API. Use `ipv4` to allow only IPv4 addresses to invoke your API, or use `dualstack` to allow both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to invoke your API. Don’t use IP address type for an HTTP API based on an OpenAPI specification. Instead, specify the IP address type in the OpenAPI specification.

nameOptional
string

The name of the API. Required unless you specify an OpenAPI definition for `Body` or `S3BodyLocation` .

protocolTypeOptional
string

The API protocol. Valid values are `WEBSOCKET` or `HTTP` . Required unless you specify an OpenAPI definition for `Body` or `S3BodyLocation` .

routeKeyOptional
string

This property is part of quick create. If you don't specify a `routeKey` , a default route of `$default` is created. The `$default` route acts as a catch-all for any request made to your API, for a particular stage. The `$default` route key can't be modified. You can add routes after creating the API, and you can update the route keys of additional routes. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

routeSelectionExpressionOptional
string

The route selection expression for the API. For HTTP APIs, the `routeSelectionExpression` must be `${request.method} ${request.path}` . If not provided, this will be the default for HTTP APIs. This property is required for WebSocket APIs.

tagsOptional
{ [key: string]: string }

The collection of tags. Each tag element is associated with a given resource.

targetOptional
string | IFunctionRef

This property is part of quick create. Quick create produces an API with an integration, a default catch-all route, and a default stage which is configured to automatically deploy changes. For HTTP integrations, specify a fully qualified URL. For Lambda integrations, specify a function ARN. The type of the integration will be HTTP_PROXY or AWS_PROXY, respectively. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

versionOptional
string

A version identifier for the API.

CloudFormation Resource

This L1 construct maps directly to the following CloudFormation resource type.
