I am trying to create a lambda service on AWS and have it accessed from outside via the API gateway with no authentication or restriction required.

To make things easy I set the gateway for now to be a Mock.

On the Get method of the API, the Authorization is set to None and the API Key is not required.

When I try this, I get {"message":"Forbidden"} (same message if i connect it to the actual lambda service).

Any advice on how to make it accessible?

If you set 'API Key Required' option to true, please check below.

  1. you have to pass 'x-api-key' HTTP Header Parameter to API Gateway.
  2. The API Key had to be created.
  3. In addition, you need to check a Usage Plan for the API Key on API Gateway Console.
