AppSync APIs Should Have Authorization Configuration

1. First, you need to list all the available AppSync APIs. You can do this by using the AWS CLI command list-graphql-apis. The command is as follows:

aws appsync list-graphql-apis --region <region-name>

Replace <region-name> with the name of the AWS region where the APIs are hosted.

2. The output of the above command will give you a list of all the AppSync APIs in the specified region. Each API will have an ‘arn’ and ‘name’. You can use the ‘arn’ to get more details about each API.

3. Now, for each API, you need to check the authorization configuration. You can do this by using the AWS CLI command get-graphql-api. The command is as follows:

aws appsync get-graphql-api --api-id <api-id> --region <region-name>

Replace <api-id> with the ‘arn’ of the API you want to check and <region-name> with the name of the AWS region where the API is hosted.

4. The output of the above command will give you details about the specified API. Look for the ‘authorizationConfig’ field in the output. If this field is missing or not properly configured, then the API does not have proper authorization configuration.

1. Install and configure AWS SDK for Python (Boto3): Before you can start writing Python scripts to check AppSync APIs, you need to install and configure Boto3. You can install it using pip:

   pip install boto3
   

   Then, configure your AWS credentials either by setting the following environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, and AWS_SESSION_TOKEN (optional), or by using the AWS CLI command aws configure.

2. Import the necessary modules and create an AppSync client: In your Python script, you need to import Boto3 and create an AppSync client. Here’s how you can do it:

   import boto3
   
   client = boto3.client('appsync')
   

3. List all AppSync APIs and check their authorization configuration: You can use the list_graphql_apis method to get a list of all AppSync APIs. Then, for each API, you can use the get_graphql_api method to get its details and check its authorization configuration. Here’s a sample script:

   import boto3
   
   client = boto3.client('appsync')
   
   # List all AppSync APIs
   response = client.list_graphql_apis()
   
   for api in response['graphqlApis']:
       # Get the details of each API
       api_response = client.get_graphql_api(
           apiId=api['apiId']
       )
   
       # Check the authorization configuration
       if 'authorizationConfig' not in api_response['graphqlApi']:
           print(f"AppSync API {api['name']} does not have an authorization configuration.")
   

4. Handle pagination: The list_graphql_apis method returns a maximum of 25 APIs at a time. If you have more APIs, you need to handle pagination by using the nextToken parameter. Here’s how you can modify the above script to handle pagination:

   import boto3
   
   client = boto3.client('appsync')
   
   # Initialize the next token
   next_token = None
   
   while True:
       # List all AppSync APIs
       if next_token:
           response = client.list_graphql_apis(nextToken=next_token)
       else:
           response = client.list_graphql_apis()
   
       for api in response['graphqlApis']:
           # Get the details of each API
           api_response = client.get_graphql_api(
               apiId=api['apiId']
           )
   
           # Check the authorization configuration
           if 'authorizationConfig' not in api_response['graphqlApi']:
               print(f"AppSync API {api['name']} does not have an authorization configuration.")
   
       # If there are more APIs, get the next token, otherwise break the loop
       if 'nextToken' in response:
           next_token = response['nextToken']
       else:
           break
   

This script will print the names of all AppSync APIs that do not have an authorization configuration.
