aws apigateway get-rest-api --rest-api-id <api_id> --> gives you a specific API but I want to know is there a way that u can get an API by its name using the aws cli.
I have already tried this command but didn't work.
aws apigateway get-rest-api --rest-api-name <api_name>
You can use some like this:
aws apigateway get-rest-apis --query 'items[?name==`APIGATEWAYNAME`]'
But it will return a list instead of a single element.
You can further extract ID using Json Parser utility, jq (in Linux / MAC)
api_id_extracted=$(aws apigateway get-rest-apis --query 'items[?name==`APIGATEWAYNAME`]' --output json | jq '.[0] .id')
If you want just the ID you can use:
aws apigateway get-rest-apis --query 'items[?name==`APIGATEWAYNAME`].[id]' --output text
Where APIGATEWAYNAME is the name of your API Gateway.
