How to add an API key to your usage plan in AWS Getaway API

Question

I had a problem creating an API key associated with the AWS Getaway API usage plan (using the AWS SDK for node.js).

In the AWS Console, you can attach the API key to the usage plan with this button:

However, I could not find a similar feature in the AWS SDK Documentation

Answer 1

This code does the magic:

var params = { keyId: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */ keyType: 'STRING_VALUE', /* required */ usagePlanId: 'STRING_VALUE' /* required */ }; apigateway.createUsagePlanKey(params, function(err, data) { if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred else console.log(data); // successful response }); 

What I was missing was that keyType should be "API_KEY"
