HTTP API Gateway part two - AWS Lambda integration for HTTP GET requests

Today we are going to continue to build on the API we created in the previous video. We will create a new endpoint in our API where we can perform an HTTP get request. The API Gateway will forward the request along with any request parameters to a lambda function, which will then query a DynamoDB table.

Hey there, thanks for the tutorial! Just being curious, how does one know what id he/she needs in order to get data of a specific bird? I suppose you know it cause you have access to the system.

Hi, you are correct!😄 I already know what Id to request. The use case for this could be that you have access to a list of bird ids and want to request more information about a specific bird object.
