  2. Integrating Third-Party Services with AWS API Gateway

How do I integrate third-party services with AWS API Gateway?

This guide demonstrates how to integrate third-party services with AWS API Gateway using Pulumi in TypeScript. We will create an API Gateway REST API and configure it to forward requests to a third-party service.

Key Points:

  • Define an API Gateway REST API.
  • Create a method and resource for the API.
  • Configure integration with a third-party service.
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create an API Gateway REST API
const api = new aws.apigateway.RestApi("myApi", {
    description: "API to integrate with third-party service",
});

// Create a resource in the API
const resource = new aws.apigateway.Resource("myResource", {
    restApi: api.id,
    parentId: api.rootResourceId,
    pathPart: "myresource",
});

// Create a method for the resource
const method = new aws.apigateway.Method("myMethod", {
    restApi: api.id,
    resourceId: resource.id,
    httpMethod: "GET",
    authorization: "NONE",
});

// Create an integration with a third-party service
const integration = new aws.apigateway.Integration("myIntegration", {
    restApi: api.id,
    resourceId: resource.id,
    httpMethod: method.httpMethod,
    type: "HTTP",
    uri: "https://third-party-service.com/endpoint",
    integrationHttpMethod: "GET",
});

// Deploy the API
const deployment = new aws.apigateway.Deployment("myDeployment", {
    restApi: api.id,
    stageName: "dev",
}, { dependsOn: [integration] });

// Export the API URL
export const apiUrl = pulumi.interpolate`${deployment.invokeUrl}${resource.pathPart}`;

Summary

In this guide, we created an AWS API Gateway REST API using Pulumi. We defined a resource and method within the API and configured it to integrate with a third-party service by forwarding requests to a specified URI. This setup allows you to expose third-party services through your API Gateway, making it easier to manage and secure access to external APIs.
