API Gateway boto3 API not working

Question

Hi,

When I am trying to view the API gateway method with `get_resource()` and `get_method()` it's showing an error:
An error occurred (NotFoundException) when calling the GetMethod operation: Invalid Method identifier specified

**Output is:** {'ResponseMetadata': {'RequestId': 'ff9399db-6ea3-4c0a-a2b8-218aa951be1f', 'HTTPStatusCode': 200, 'HTTPHeaders': {'date': 'Wed, 30 Aug 2023 13:23:55 GMT', 'content-type': 'application/json', 'content-length': '31', 'connection': 'keep-alive', 'x-amzn-requestid': 'ff9399db-6ea3-4c0a-a2b8-218aa951be1f', 'x-amz-apigw-id': 'Kedk0LqmIAMEb6g='}, 'RetryAttempts': 0}, 'id': 'hwfdny4fbk', 'path': '/'}

When I run the same cli command:` aws apigateway get-resource --rest-api-id gyox2qyani --resource-id bmw2m5 --profile test-lab --region us-east-1`

**The output is showing:**
```
{
    "id": "bmw2m5",
    "parentId": "hwfdny4fbk",
    "pathPart": "testresource",
    "path": "/testresource",
    "resourceMethods": {
        "POST": {}
    }
}
```

Please check the API else, kindly provide a solution.

Can you post your get_method() syntax here?  I suspect you are missing the HTTP Method (get/post/put etc) from the request, or haven't specified one recognized by your api.

Answer

Hi!

I believe the code that you are running - as per the screen capture:

*aws apigateway **get-resource** --rest-api-id gyox2qyani --resource-id bmw2m5 --profile test-lab --region us-east-1*

On further investigating, I found a link: [AWS CLI Command Reference for get-resource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/apigateway/get-resource.html)

I was able to look into the Global Options, and was curious about the particular option as chosen by you, namely:

*--profile test-lab*

I find that to be of interest, as the syntax points to:

**--profile (string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.** - thereby pointing to a *user profile* if you will. So my question to you is - does *test-lab* form an entry in your credentials file? If not, can you please amend the query and run it again?

I hope this helps.

If you find that I have answered your query, please mark it with an **Accepted Answer**
