    • In the sever:: url area  of the definitions file, just add the full gateway endpoint including the region.
    • Put the gateway's API key into the Authorized lock button next to the servers drop down and close its dialog box as soon as you add the api key.
    • Test your access endpoints.

Yes chichepo  I have enclosed a screen scrape of a Get test in Postman.

 I can test in both AWS API Gateway to test the proxy lambda and I can also use Postman. I was successfully able to Get , Post, and Put data from and to my Dynamo DB table. I verified it worked.
HOwever, for some reason even though I have Authorized the API Key and the bottom of the Swagger Hub definitions YAML contains the Gateways APP ID, I still have not been able to test the live AWS Development Gateway service. Maybe I am still doing something incorrect?  Thaks
