How to access API from AWS API Gateway with PHP SDK 3

Question

Can anyone help figure out how to use AWS Signature, AWS Credentials and PHP SDK 3 to access an API Gateway API? It seems like AWS Signature does not actually attach headers to a Guzzle request.

Here is my code:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Aws\Credentials\Credentials;
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
use Aws\Signature\SignatureV4;

$access_key = '<access_key>';
$secret_key = '<secret_key>';
$url = 'https://<api-id>.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/camel?q=*';
$region = 'us-east-1';

$credentials = new Credentials($access_key, $secret_key);
var_dump($credentials);

$client = new Client();
$request = new Request('GET', $url);
var_dump($request);

$s4 = new SignatureV4("execute-api", $region);
$s4 = new SignatureV4("execute-api", "us-east-1");
$s4->signRequest($request, $credentials);
var_dump($s4);
var_dump($request);

$response = $client->send($request);

And the error I'm getting is:

( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught exception 
'GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException' with message ' in 
/path/to/vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/Exception/RequestException.php on 
line 113

( ! ) GuzzleHttp\Exception\ClientException: Client error: `GET 
https://<api-id>.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/v1/camel?q=*` 
resulted in a `403 Forbidden` response: {"message":"Missing 
Authentication Token"} in 
/path/to/vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/Exception/RequestException.php on 
line 113

3   0.3787  574224  GuzzleHttp\Promise\Promise->wait( ) ../Client.php:106

Line 29 of access.php is:

$response = $client->send($request);

It doesn't appear from the var_dumps that any headers are being added. I am able to successfully test this endpoint in the API Gateway and in Postman. Enabling CORS does not appear to make a difference.

Has anyone solved this issue yet?

Thanks, Michael, for your help above.

You have to use the return from new SignatureV4, which is a modified request.

$s4 = new SignatureV4("execute-api", $region);
$signedrequest = $s4->signRequest($request, $credentials);

$response = $client->send($signedrequest);

echo $response->getBody();
