Development notes

• These scripts use yargs to process command line arguments.

Usage

export_postman_from_aws.js

Exports a swagger document of the API with postman extensions for a given invoke url of an API gateway. Note: Current implementation supports export for only one URL at a time.

Example:

node export_postman_from_aws.js --INVOKE_URL=https://abc123xqz.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev

export_parameter_from_aws.js

Exports each of the parameters from AWS parameter store and stores them as JSON files in ./outputs directory

Note: This script does not do any data transformations, you need to make sure the parameter value in parameter store is in the format supported by postman/newman.

See this page for examples of JSON structures for different variables in postman.

Examples:

node export_parameter_from_aws.js --PARAMETER_NAMES="param1" "param2"
node export_parameter_from_aws.js --PARAMETER_NAMES="param1" --PARAMETER_NAMES ="param2"
