如何使用aws中的cloudformation在api网关中请求参数并将其传递给lambda函数？

Question

I am trying to request parameters using API Gateway in AWS CloudFormation. The parameter that I want to pass down from API gateway to Lambda function is 'action'. I have tried the following code and so far I ran into the error, mention below. Can someone please help me with identifying the issue and a possible resolution?

"Invalid mapping expression specified: Validation Result: warnings : [], errors : [Invalid mapping expression specified: Integration.request.path.action] (Service: AmazonApiGateway; Status Code: 400; Error Code: BadRequestException; Request ID: 037f4753-52b5-4276-979a-131a0f903e63)"

According to the docs, the key for RequestParameters should be like integration.request.<location>.<name> , with a lowercase i for integration . You are using an uppercase I . From the AWS CloudFormation docs :

Specify the destination by using the following pattern integration.request.location.name , where location is query string, path, or header, and name is a valid, unique parameter name.

Also, your template from above contains a RequestTemplates property which is placed in the wrong hierarchy level. It must be placed below Integration as noted in the AWS CloudFormation docs as well. Here is the correct template for AWS::ApiGateway::Method for you:

SampleApiMethod:
  Type: "AWS::ApiGateway::Method"
  Properties:
    AuthorizationType: "NONE"
    HttpMethod: "GET"
    RequestParameters:
      method.request.path.action: true
    Integration:
      IntegrationHttpMethod: "POST"
      Type: "AWS_PROXY"
      RequestParameters:
        integration.request.path.action: method.request.path.action
      RequestTemplates:
        "application/yaml": "<define your template here>"
      Uri: !Sub
        - "arn:aws:apigateway:${AWS::Region}:lambda:path/2015-03-31/functions/${lambdaArn}/invocations"
        - lambdaArn: !GetAtt "SampleLambda.Arn"
      CacheKeyParameters:
        - method.request.path.action
    ResourceId: !GetAtt "SampleApi.RootResourceId"
    RestApiId: !Ref "SampleApi"
