aws-api-gateway-cli-test

AWS API Gateway Test CLI

A simple CLI to test API Gateway endpoints with IAM authorization. Uses the AWS SDK, AWS Cognito JS SDK, and the generic API Gateway Client. Using the login information given, this tool logs a user into the Cognito User Pool, gets the temporary IAM credentials, and makes the API request. It can be difficult to do these steps by hand without scripting them.

Installation

To install globally run the following:

$ npm install -g aws-api-gateway-cli-test

You can also use it locally using:

$ npx aws-api-gateway-cli-test
