aws_api_gateway - Manage AWS API Gateway APIs

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

  • Allows for the management of API Gatway 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 create each time this is run.
  • Beware that there are very hard limits on the rate that you can call API Gateway’s REST API. You may need to patch your boto. See https://github.com/boto/boto3/issues/876 and discuss with your AWS rep.
  • 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.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • boto
  • boto3
  • python >= 2.6

Examples

# Update API resources for development
tasks:
- name: update API
  aws_api_gateway:
    api_id: 'abc123321cba'
    state: present
    swagger_file: my_api.yml

# update definitions and deploy API to production
tasks:
- name: deploy API
  aws_api_gateway:
    api_id: 'abc123321cba'
    state: present
    swagger_file: my_api.yml
    stage: production
    deploy_desc: Make auth fix available.

Return Values

Common return values are documented here Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

name description returned type sample
output
the data returned by put_restapi in boto3
 success dict {'data': {'id': 'abc123321cba', 'name': 'MY REST API', 'createdDate': 1484233401}}

Notes

Note

  • A future version of this module will probably use tags or another ID so that an API can be create only once.
  • As an early work around an intermediate version will probably do the same using a tag embedded in the API name.
  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
