Before you install
- Requires AWS CDK v1 environment; package is end-of-support as of 2023-06-01 and migration to AWS CDK v2 is recommended.
- Low install friction with a wheel distribution.
- Package is actively maintained in the repository (last commit 2026-08-14), though it is classified as Development Status :: 7 - Inactive and reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01; users should migrate to AWS CDK v2.

What it is and what it does
This package is the AWS CDK v1 construct library for Amazon API Gateway, a managed service for publishing and securing APIs at scale. It provides high-level Python classes to define REST APIs as infrastructure code, with built-in support for common backend integrations (Lambda functions, Step Functions state machines), authorization patterns (IAM, Lambda-based, Cognito), and operational features like access logging, CORS, and custom domains.
The library abstracts CloudFormation resource creation, allowing developers to define API hierarchies (resources and methods) programmatically and deploy them alongside other AWS infrastructure. However, the package reached end-of-support on 2023-06-01; AWS recommends migrating to AWS CDK v2 for continued updates and support.
Use it for
- Define a REST API backed by Lambda functions using LambdaRestApi construct for serverless application endpoints.
- Build synchronous Step Functions workflows exposed as HTTP APIs using StepFunctionsRestApi for orchestrated backend logic.
- Configure API authorization with Cognito User Pools, IAM roles, or custom Lambda authorizers for access control.
- Set up custom domain names, SSL certificates, and access logging for production API deployments.
- Break large APIs across multiple CloudFormation stacks to work around resource limits while maintaining a unified API structure.
