API Gateway's REST API authentication using App ID, App Secret

Question

I have gone through the [PetStore example in API Gateway](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api-gateway-create-api-from-example.html) multiple rounds, it's able to perform simple GET/POST to public API. But how can i onboard and achieve the API authentication in AWS where i could easily do it in Postman (as below)?

* How to maintain AppID, Secret which generated from 3rd party platform
* Based on the guides, the API is secured in method level using IAM, how to relate them in API Gateway where each external API calls is supported by active token

Answer

Since you are using a third party identity provider (Idp) as authenticator, you can use **Lambda Authorizer** for access control of your API.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/apigateway-use-lambda-authorizer.html

```txt
A Lambda authorizer is useful if you want to implement a custom authorization scheme that uses a bearer token authentication strategy such as OAuth or SAML, or that uses request parameters to determine the caller's identity.
```
