Missing Authentication Token while accessing API Gateway?


I am trying to call a Lambda Function through AWS API Gateway. When I mention Authentication type NONE it works fine but API become public and anyone with url can access my API. To make API call secure, I am using Authentication type AWS_IAM and also attached AmazonAPIGatewayInvokeFullAccess policy to my user but getting this error:

{ message: "Missing Authentication Token"}

I don't know what I am missing here.


Solution

  • I think you are directly trying to access API link, this won't work because API is secured using IAM role and you must provide AWS authentication i.e Access key and Secret key.

    Use the Postman Chrome extension to test your API: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/how-to-use-postman-to-call-api.html
