API Gateway and Request Parameters in JSON

[Eric Anderson]

Hey,

I'm using terraform to set up an API Gateway for Lambda.  It is working now and automatically passing through parameters, but I would like to have some defined querystring parameters and headers in the method request. This seems to map to the terraform method resource, which I have defined as so.

resource "aws_api_gateway_method" "IntuitCreateGet" {

  rest_api_id = "${aws_api_gateway_rest_api.Connectago.id}"

  resource_id = "${aws_api_gateway_resource.IntuitCreate.id}"

  http_method = "POST"

  authorization = "NONE"

}

From the docs, it seems like request_parameters_in_json is the appropriate tag.  https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/api_gateway_method.html#request_parameters_in_json

Can anyone help me on how to define this json in a way terraform can understand.  

1.  It looks like terraform wants this as a string, so I was trying

request_parameters_in_json = <<EOF

{

   Object

}

EOF

2.  I'm not sure what the object should be.  I was picturing

{

   "querystring": {

      "param1": true,

      "param2": false

  },
  "headers" : {

      "header1": true

 }

}

where true/false is required/not required, but then again, I don't see a required tag in the console for API gateway method request.

I'm looking for a little clarification on the general structure of "request_parameters_in_json" and if it maps to a particular aws call or something.

Thanks!

Eric
