Triage and Remediation
Check Cause
Using Console
Using Console
- Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon API Gateway console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/.
- In the navigation pane, choose the API Gateway service.
- In the APIs list, select the API you want to check.
- In the API details page, select the “Stages” option from the left side menu.
- In the Stages section, select the stage for which you want to check the API cache.
- In the Stage Editor panel, under the “Settings” tab, look for the “Cache Settings” section. If the “Enable API cache” checkbox is checked, then the API cache is enabled. If it’s not checked, then the API cache is not enabled.
Using CLI
Using CLI
-
Install and configure AWS CLI: Before you can start using AWS CLI, you need to install it on your local system. You can download it from the official AWS website. After installation, you need to configure it with your AWS account credentials. You can do this by running the command
aws configure
and then entering your Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, Default region name, and Default output format when prompted. -
List all the APIs: Use the
get-rest-apis
command to list all the APIs in your AWS account. The command is as follows:This command will return a list of all the APIs in your account, along with their details. -
Get the details of a specific API: Once you have the list of APIs, you can get the details of a specific API by using the
get-rest-api
command along with the API’s ID. The command is as follows:Replace{api-id}
with the ID of the API you want to check. This command will return the details of the specified API. -
Check the API Cache setting: In the details returned by the
get-rest-api
command, look for thecacheClusterEnabled
field. If this field is set totrue
, then the API Cache is enabled. If it is set tofalse
or if the field is not present, then the API Cache is not enabled.
Using Python
Using Python
To check if API Cache is enabled in API Gateway using Python scripts, you can use the Boto3 library, which allows you to directly interact with AWS services, including API Gateway. Here are the steps:
-
Install Boto3: First, you need to install the Boto3 library in your Python environment. You can do this using pip:
-
Configure AWS Credentials: Boto3 needs your AWS credentials (access key and secret access key) to interact with AWS services. You can configure it using the AWS CLI:
Then, input your access key, secret access key, and your preferred AWS region when prompted.
-
Create a Python Script: Now, you can create a Python script that uses Boto3 to interact with API Gateway and check if API Cache is enabled. Here’s a basic example:
This script retrieves all REST APIs and their stages, then checks if the ‘cacheClusterEnabled’ attribute is present and set to True.
-
Run the Python Script: Finally, you can run the Python script using a Python interpreter:
The script will print out whether API Cache is enabled for each API and stage.
