Error while creating an API product in AWS Data Exchange.

Question

Hello, I am trying to create an API product programmatically, I'm getting an error while executing CREATE_DATASET in python using Boto3 module. This is the error: [{'Code': 'VALIDATION_EXCEPTION', 'Message': 'Unable to find uploaded OpenAPI 3.0 JSON document.'}], I tried many ways of uploading the document, but they failed, any idea how to solve it??? I was following this blog to create the product. [Data Exchange Blog](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/data-exchange/latest/userguide/publishing-products.html#publish-API-product)

Answer

Hi there! It seems like the documentation is missing a couple of details; we will get that fixed!

In terms of providing the OpenAPI specification while creating an API data set, this can be done as part of the [CreateJob](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/data-exchange/latest/apireference/API_CreateJob.html) step. One of the parameters there is the [ApiSpecificationMd5Hash](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/data-exchange/latest/apireference/API_ImportAssetFromApiGatewayApiRequestDetails.html#dataexchange-Type-ImportAssetFromApiGatewayApiRequestDetails-ApiSpecificationMd5Hash), which is used for validation. When that is provided, an [ApiSpecificationUploadUrl](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/data-exchange/latest/apireference/API_ImportAssetFromApiGatewayApiResponseDetails.html#dataexchange-Type-ImportAssetFromApiGatewayApiResponseDetails-ApiSpecificationUploadUrl) is then provided in the response. Once the specification is uploaded, [start the job](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/data-exchange/latest/apireference/API_StartJob.html).
