I've got a question about AWS API Gateway..
I want to process an other companies API into my own dynamoDB in AWS. They can only POST an XML formatted to my API. My setup is API Gateway -> Lambda -> DynamoDB.
But how can do set up a API Gateway POST in such a way that i accepts the XML posted by them?
Link to their XML Post setup (it's just the uplink data): http://zakelijke-community.kpn.com/t5/Data/Application-data-API/ta-p/4768
You can define a request mapping template for "application/xml" which will be triggered when the client sends a "Content-Type" header of "application/xml".
While API Gateway doesn't yet offer first-class support for XML, you can simply send the XML payload to Lambda in a JSON string field:
{
"bodyXml" : "$input.body"
}
In your Lambda function, you can use your XML parsing library of choice to process the XML.
Hope this helps, Ryan
