  :type ApiKeySelectionExpression: string
  :param ApiKeySelectionExpression: 

    An API key selection expression. Supported only for WebSocket APIs. See `API Key Selection Expressions <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/apigateway-websocket-api-selection-expressions.html#apigateway-websocket-api-apikey-selection-expressions>`__.

    

  
  :type CorsConfiguration: dict
  :param CorsConfiguration: 

    A CORS configuration. Supported only for HTTP APIs. See `Configuring CORS <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/http-api-cors.html>`__ for more information.

    

  
    - **AllowCredentials** *(boolean) --* 

      Specifies whether credentials are included in the CORS request. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

      

    
    - **AllowHeaders** *(list) --* 

      Represents a collection of allowed headers. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

      

    
      - *(string) --* 

      
  
    - **AllowMethods** *(list) --* 

      Represents a collection of allowed HTTP methods. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

      

    
      - *(string) --* 

        A string with a length between [1-64].

        

      
  
    - **AllowOrigins** *(list) --* 

      Represents a collection of allowed origins. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

      

    
      - *(string) --* 

      
  
    - **ExposeHeaders** *(list) --* 

      Represents a collection of exposed headers. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

  :type CredentialsArn: string
  :param CredentialsArn: 

    This property is part of quick create. It specifies the credentials required for the integration, if any. For a Lambda integration, three options are available. To specify an IAM Role for API Gateway to assume, use the role's Amazon Resource Name (ARN). To require that the caller's identity be passed through from the request, specify arn:aws:iam::*:user/*. To use resource-based permissions on supported AWS services, specify null. Currently, this property is not used for HTTP integrations. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

    

  
  :type Description: string
  :param Description: 

    The description of the API.

    

  
  :type DisableSchemaValidation: boolean
  :param DisableSchemaValidation: 

    Avoid validating models when creating a deployment. Supported only for WebSocket APIs.

    

  
  :type DisableExecuteApiEndpoint: boolean
  :param DisableExecuteApiEndpoint: 

    Specifies whether clients can invoke your API by using the default execute-api endpoint. By default, clients can invoke your API with the default https://{api_id}.execute-api.{region}.amazonaws.com endpoint. To require that clients use a custom domain name to invoke your API, disable the default endpoint.

    

  
  :type IpAddressType: string
  :param IpAddressType: 

    The IP address types that can invoke the API.

    

  
  :type Name: string

    The name of the API.

    

  
  :type ProtocolType: string
  :param ProtocolType: **[REQUIRED]** 

    The API protocol.

    

  
  :type RouteKey: string
  :param RouteKey: 

    This property is part of quick create. If you don't specify a routeKey, a default route of $default is created. The $default route acts as a catch-all for any request made to your API, for a particular stage. The $default route key can't be modified. You can add routes after creating the API, and you can update the route keys of additional routes. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

    

  
  :type RouteSelectionExpression: string
  :param RouteSelectionExpression: 

    The route selection expression for the API. For HTTP APIs, the routeSelectionExpression must be ${request.method} ${request.path}. If not provided, this will be the default for HTTP APIs. This property is required for WebSocket APIs.

    

  
  :type Tags: dict
  :param Tags: 

    The collection of tags. Each tag element is associated with a given resource.

    

  
    - *(string) --* 

    
      - *(string) --* 

        A string with a length between [0-1600].

        

      


  :type Target: string
  :param Target: 

    This property is part of quick create. Quick create produces an API with an integration, a default catch-all route, and a default stage which is configured to automatically deploy changes. For HTTP integrations, specify a fully qualified URL. For Lambda integrations, specify a function ARN. The type of the integration will be HTTP_PROXY or AWS_PROXY, respectively. Supported only for HTTP APIs.

    

  
  :type Version: string
  :param Version: 

    A version identifier for the API.
