Represents a client-facing interface by which the client calls the API to access back-end resources. A Method resource is integrated with an Integration resource. Both consist of a request and one or more responses. The method request takes the client input that is passed to the back end through the integration request. A method response returns the output from the back end to the client through an integration response. A method request is embodied in a Method resource, whereas an integration request is embodied in an Integration resource. On the other hand, a method response is represented by a MethodResponse resource, whereas an integration response is represented by an IntegrationResponse resource.
Example: Retrive the GET method on a specified resource
Request
The following example request retrieves the information about the GET method on an API resource (3kzxbg5sa2
) of an API (fugvjdxtri
).
GET /restapis/fugvjdxtri/resources/3kzxbg5sa2/methods/GET HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json Host: apigateway.us-east-1.amazonaws.com X-Amz-Date: 20160603T210259Z Authorization: AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential={access_key_ID}/20160603/us-east-1/apigateway/aws4_request, SignedHeaders=content-type;host;x-amz-date, Signature={sig4_hash}
Response
The successful response returns a 200 OK
status code and a payload similar to the following:

In the example above, the response template for the 200 OK
response maps the JSON output from the ListStreams
action in the back end to an XML output. The mapping template is URL-encoded as %3CkinesisStreams%3E%23foreach(%24stream%20in%20%24input.path(%27%24.StreamNames%27))%3Cstream%3E%3Cname%3E%24stream%3C%2Fname%3E%3C%2Fstream%3E%23end%3C%2FkinesisStreams%3E
and the output is decoded using the $util.urlDecode() helper function.
