I am trying to use AWS API Gateway as a reverse (forwarding) proxy to AWS SQS using the configuration as seen in the screenshots. I essentially want to send a REST request to the API Gateway which then gets forwarded directly to the SQS REST API and returns the response.
When I send a request to the gateway, I immediately get back
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ErrorResponse xmlns="http://queue.amazonaws.com/doc/2012-11-05/">
<Error>
<Type>Sender</Type>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Access to the resource https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ is denied.</Message>
<Detail/>
</Error>
<RequestId>51c903b2-4da3-5d5e-a3b8-589ee72167de</RequestId>
</ErrorResponse>
However, when I switch the request URL to SQS directly (https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com) the request succeeds.
What am I missing?
curl --request POST 'https://my-api-gateway.com/sqs' \
--header 'X-Amz-Date: <date>' \
--header 'X-Amz-Security-Token: <token>' \
--header 'Authorization: <auth>' \
