Can you accept a form request e.g. the classic application/x-www-form-urlencoded body content type. Answer is yes.
You could even use application/xml or any other format from your request but you have to tweak some settings.
Default mapping template in response:
{
"body" : $input.json('$')
}
Now, if you send a typical application/JSON body…
{
"foo": "bar"
}
you’ll get is a JSON object under the body key:
{
"body" : {
"foo": "bar"
}
}
Now if you send a different format, say some XML you’ll receive the body key as a string:
{
"body" : "my request body "
}
However, if you do so then you need your lambda to do the parsing further.
And Ah! ofcourse you need to redeploy your Api gateway after above changes.
