put-rest-api
Description
A feature of the API Gateway control service for updating an existing API with an input of external API definitions. The update can take the form of merging the supplied definition into the existing API or overwriting the existing API.

Options
--rest-api-id (string)
--mode (string)
The mode query parameter to specify the update mode. Valid values are “merge” and “overwrite”. By default, the update mode is “merge”.
Possible values:
mergeoverwrite
--fail-on-warnings | --no-fail-on-warnings (boolean)
true ) or not (false ) when a warning is encountered. The default value is false .--parameters (map)
Custom header parameters as part of the request. For example, to exclude DocumentationParts from an imported API, set ignore=documentation as a parameters value, as in the AWS CLI command of aws apigateway import-rest-api --parameters ignore=documentation --body 'file:///path/to/imported-api-body.json' .
key -> (string)
value -> (string)
Shorthand Syntax:
KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string
JSON Syntax:
{"string": "string"
...}
--body (blob)
--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
Global Options
--debug (boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url (string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl (boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate (boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output (string)
The formatting style for command output.
- json
- text
- table
- yaml
- yaml-stream
--query (string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile (string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region (string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version (string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color (string)
Turn on/off color output.
- on
- off
- auto
--no-sign-request (boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle (string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout (int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout (int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format (string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.
- base64
- raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager (boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
Examples
Note
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
To overwrite an existing API using a Swagger template
Command:
aws apigateway put-rest-api --rest-api-id 1234123412 --mode overwrite --body 'fileb:///path/to/API_Swagger_template.json'
To merge a Swagger template into an existing API
Command:
aws apigateway put-rest-api --rest-api-id 1234123412 --mode merge --body 'fileb:///path/to/API_Swagger_template.json'
Output
id -> (string)
name -> (string)
description -> (string)
createdDate -> (timestamp)
version -> (string)
warnings -> (list)
The warning messages reported when failonwarnings is turned on during API import.
(string)
binaryMediaTypes -> (list)
The list of binary media types supported by the RestApi. By default, the RestApi supports only UTF-8-encoded text payloads.
(string)
minimumCompressionSize -> (integer)
apiKeySource -> (string)
X-API-Key header of a request. AUTHORIZER to read the API key from the UsageIdentifierKey from a custom authorizer.endpointConfiguration -> (structure)
The endpoint configuration of this RestApi showing the endpoint types and IP address types of the API.
types -> (list)
A list of endpoint types of an API (RestApi) or its custom domain name (DomainName). For an edge-optimized API and its custom domain name, the endpoint type is "EDGE" . For a regional API and its custom domain name, the endpoint type is REGIONAL . For a private API, the endpoint type is PRIVATE .
(string)
EDGE for edge-optimized API setup, most suitable for mobile applications; REGIONAL for regional API endpoint setup, most suitable for calling from AWS Region; and PRIVATE for private APIs.ipAddressType -> (string)
ipv4 to allow only IPv4 addresses to invoke an API or DomainName, or use dualstack to allow both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to invoke an API or a DomainName. For the PRIVATE endpoint type, only dualstack is supported.vpcEndpointIds -> (list)
A list of VpcEndpointIds of an API (RestApi) against which to create Route53 ALIASes. It is only supported for PRIVATE endpoint type.
(string)
policy -> (string)
tags -> (map)
The collection of tags. Each tag element is associated with a given resource.
key -> (string)
value -> (string)
disableExecuteApiEndpoint -> (boolean)
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.rootResourceId -> (string)
