Handling binary content with API Gateway

This project demonstrates how to configure API Gateway using Claudia API Builder to support binary content handling. There are three endpoints:

  • /img: shows how to receive a text request and respond with binary content
  • /info endpoint shows how to receive binary content and respond with text
  • /thumb: endpoint shows how to receive and respond with binary content

Try it out

  • run npm install to download the dependencies
  • run npm run create to deploy the project to Lambda. Grab the API ID from the result and replace <API-ID> in the example commands below

retrieve a picture (text request, binary result)

curl https://<API-ID>.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/img -H "Accept: image/png" > 1.png

get info about a pic (binary request, text result)

curl --request POST -H "Content-Type: image/png" --data-binary "@img.png" https://<API-ID>.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/info

make a thumbnail (binary post, binary result)

curl --request POST -H "Content-Type: image/png" -H "Accept: image/png" --data-binary "@img.png" https://<API-ID>.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/thumb > thumb.png
