Can I upload form-data files to S3 via AWS API-Gateway?

Question

In AWS environment I want to upload a file to S3 via API gateway. I can't use lambda, because the 6MB payload limit. (The API gateway's 10MB limit is fine.) I could manage to upload a file with POST request and binary body. My question is how can I upload a picture which is wrapped in a multipart/form-data and can I set a file size and format limitation without using lambda functions?

You should use aws-sdk to create the API end point and get the url:

• API Code(aws-sdk API Doc) :

  • for upload, reference s3.getSignedUrl('putObject')
  • Don't use S3.putObject for upload document, it is a difference concept
  • Example:

     return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { let url = this.S3.getSignedUrl("getObject", { Bucket: bucket, Key: key, Expires: expires_second }) return resolve(url)

• S3 Bucket Config (Reference Link) :

  • Select your bucket
  • Permissions Tab > Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) > Edit

     [ { "AllowedHeaders": [ "*", "Authorization" ], "AllowedMethods": [ "POST", "GET", "PUT", "DELETE", "HEAD" ], "AllowedOrigins": [ "*" ], "ExposeHeaders": [], "MaxAgeSeconds": 3000 } ]

  • Confirm your AllowedMethods existing PUT method

• Upload Document(Postman case)

  • Copy and paste the link which get from s3.getSignedUrl('putObject')
  • Body tab > binary > select you document
  • Headers > uncheck 'Content-Type', 'User-Agent'
  • [Optional] if u want to accept selected file type, edit { Accept: '*/*'}
    • Example: {Accept: 'image/png' }
  • Send with PUT method

• now you may check the s3 bucket
