b-cfn-custom-api-key-authorizer 0.0.1

Enables ApiKey functionality (like in ApiGateway V1) for ApiGateway V2.

B.CfnCustomApiKeyAuthorizer

An AWS CDK resource that enables protection of your public APIs by using Api Keys.

Description

This custom authorizer enables Api Key functionality (just like in ApiGateway V1 - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api-gateway-setup-api-key-with-console.html) for APIs that are created via ApiGateway V2 (originally ApiGateway V2 does not have Api Key functionality out-of-the-box). If you want to protect your API by generating a secret key and giving only for the intended clients - this library is just for you.
