System Context Variable Name | Description |
User | The identified API Gateway user for the current request. |
Inbound HTTP method | The HTTP method used by the client to send the request. For example, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH. |
Routing method | The HTTP method used by the routing policy when you select CUSTOM as the HTTP method. If you do not define this context variable, then the method used is from the Inbound HTTP method. |
Inbound content type | Content type of the request. |
Inbound accept | Accept header in the incoming request from the client. |
Inbound protocol | The protocol of the request. For example, HTTP or HTTPS. |
Inbound request URI | A partial reference to an API (for HTTP and HTTPS only). The protocol, host and port are not part of the value. For example, if the API is invoked: http://host:port/gateway/API then the expected value of this variable would be /gateway/API. For a REST API, the URL also includes query string parameters. For example, if the following API is invoked: http://host:port/gateway/cars?vin=1234 the expected value of this variable would be /gateway/cars?vin1234. |
Inbound IP | The Client IP address used to send the request. |
Gateway hostname | API Gateway host name. |
Gateway IP | API Gateway IP address. |
Operation name | Operation name for SOAP APIs. It is empty for REST API. |
Native Endpoint | Retrieves the native endpoint in the incoming request from the client. |
Context Variable Name | Description |
CONSUMER_APPLICATION | The name of the consumer application accessing the API. |
INTERVAL_FAULT_COUNT | The number of service faults for the interval. |
INTERVAL_SUCCESS_COUNT | The number of success counts for a given API. |
INTERVAL_TOTAL_COUNT | The total number of counts for a given service. |
AVG_SUCCESS_TIME | The average amount of time it took the service to complete all invocations in the current interval. This is measured from the moment API Gateway receives the request until the moment it returns the response to the caller. Note: By default, average response time does not include metrics for failed invocations. |
FASTEST_SUCCESS_INVOKE | Minimum Response Time. Note: By default, Minimum Response Time does not include metrics for failed invocations. |
SLOWEST_SUCCESS_INVOKE | Maximum Response Time. Note: By default, Maximum Response Time does not include metrics for failed invocations. |
SOAP_HEADERS | Contains an array of the SOAP header elements in the request. |
PROTOCOL_HEADERS | Contains a map of key-value pairs in the request, where the values are provided as strings. |
SERVICE_NAME | The name of the service. |
NATIVE_PROVIDER_ERROR | The reason returned by the native provider in the case where it produced a SOAP fault. This will not contain API Gateway errors such as security policy enforcement errors. This variable only contains the reason text wrapped in a SOAP fault. Note: When you use this variable in Conditional Error Processing message that you specify in the Response Processing step, note the following: if a request is denied due to security policy enforcement, the fault handler variable $ERROR_MESSAGE would contain a native service provider error message or other error messages that result from enforced security assertions. However, $NATIVE_PROVIDER_ERROR is null in this case. |
ROUTING_ENDPOINT | API Gateway takes the ROUTING_ENDPOINT value from the message context and replaces the ${sys:dyn-Endpoint} variable in the Route Through field of dynamic routing policy configuration. |
