Amazon API Gateway API Keys
What are API keys?
API keys are used by WEB API providers to track usage and manage API consumption, particularly for commercial applications. They bill users for the computing resources consumed by their API calls.
How to set up API keys
- Configure API methods to require an API key.
- Create or import an API key for the API in a region.
Usage plans
A usage plan specifies who can access one or more deployed API stages and methods, and optionally sets the target request rate to start throttling.
Amazon API Gateway
Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale.
Choosing an API key source
When you associate a usage plan with an API and enable API keys on API methods, every incoming request to the API must include an API key.
