AWS Lambda http, where do I find the URL?

Question

I am fairly new to AWS Lambda but sure can see the benefits of it and stumbled upon the superb framework Serverless to help me built solutions on Lambda.

I started out building solutions using AWS API Gateway but really need "internal" VPC API's and not public Internet facing API's like API GW creates.

I found that Servless indeed can expose a HTTP endpoint but I can't figure out how this is done and how the URL is created. When I deploy the Lambda from Serverless it gives me the URL, e.g.:

https://uxezd6ry8z.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/dev/ping

I would like to be able to find (or create) this same http listener for already existing Lambdas so my question is how is the URL created and where is teh actual HTTP listener deployed?

Answer 1

You might be looking for the invoke url,

1. go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/apigateway

2. select api link (which you have deployed on aws lambda).


3. select stages in left side panel and see the invoke url.

Answer 2

Adding a http listener can be done by going to your lambda function, selecting the 'triggers' tab and 'add trigger', finally selecting API Gateway - but as others mentioned this does create a public facing url.
